Hmm, can't say I'm totally clear on that jerryhawthorne. At least with the cartridge (Shure W60B) that's installed now, there's a rubber shroud over the output wires on the underside of the tone arm/cartridge (red / black, the grounding goes to the mesh of the cable) so I can't get at either with any sort of wire without pulling the whole tone-arm off, unscrewing the cartridge, and trying that way (which, let me tell you, I'm bound to try here in about 10 minutes).

Noticed with the volume for the phono, audio does come out of the speaker, but the only thing that gets louder with turning the volume knob is the ac hum/drone, the music itself seems to stay about the same from halfway to full volume!
