Off topic, I apologize, and I may have asked this before but don't recall if I say the reply...

Why do turntables have multiple tonearms? I haven't spun vinyl since the 90s. The last time I was in the market, they only had one tonearm and the only option was the stylus. Now, I see turntables with the ability to have three tonearms, but don't understand why. TIA for the explanation.

One reason is you can run a mono cart on one arm and a stereo cart on the other.

It's an old idea.

When your arm is back try the Végh Quartett.

Wonderful release with the Belgian Annelien Van Wauwe.
We've seen her live, she's top!

Belgian clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe revives the golden glow of a bygone age on her Pentatone debut album "Belle époque", together with the Orchestre National de Lille and its music director Alexandre Bloch. The programme is built around treasures of French turn-of-the-century music such as Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie, Pierné’s Canzonetta and Widor’s Introduction et Rondo (the latter two in arrangements by Jelle Tassyns). "Belle époque" also offers works that display a spiritual kinship to the age, such as Brahms’s First Clarinet Sonata, arranged by Luciano Berio, and a world-premiere recording of Paris-based contemporary composer Manfred Trojahn (Rhapsodie pour clarinette et orchestre).
Annelien van Wauwe is a former BBC New Generation Artist and winner of the renowned Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award 2018. © Pentatone

Listening to the SACD again.
We're going to see her in January.

Well, on mine the arm in play is for Stereo LPs, while the 12" arm in the back is fitted with a mono cartridge to play mono LPs.
