    Cartridge and stylus recommendations for a Dual 510

    I haven’t had a good look, but the seller told me it’s stamped shure on the top. Not sure if that makes a difference

    Cartridge and stylus recommendations for a Dual 510

    just wondering what someone may recommend as an upgrade of cartridge for a dual 510. Right now it has a realistic R27E, or Shure M75e cartridge, and a EVG RS6E stylus.

    Is there a Gear vs Music Argument?

    This exists in every hobby. In skateboarding, we called them posers. Kids who showed up to the park with brand new high end skate shoes, top of the line boards, and could hardly skate. They’ed skate around for a few minutes, but mostly sat around holding their board. Next week theyed show up...

    New turntable day! Finally

    Hello fellow Canadian! I’m hoping this one runs long enough that I can learn a few things before I can fix anything.

    New turntable day! Finally

    That was pretty much what I was going for. I like that it has a speed adjustment as well

    That’s what I was going for! Now hopefully my receiver and speakers like it.

    Ended up with this! After all my research, I decided for my price range(under $300 Canadian) that a Dual would be what I’d be most happy with. There were like 15-20 duals on Craigslist to choose from, weeded through those and decided to go for a 510, a 1219, or a 1229. The 1219 guy never...

    Thanks a bunch! Can’t wait to get home and rediscover my vinyl collection :)

    New turntable day! Finally

    The look definitely intrigued me, very classic. I’ve also heard that they’re generally pretty solid, especially once they’ve been serviced and looked at.

    New turntable day! Finally

    Most important thing on the list was definitely condition haha Seems duals are a lot of people’s underdog. Years later, always coming back to that old dual. That’s what I want :)

    New turntable day! Finally

    There was a 1229 and a 1219 available as well. But I was more interested in something recently serviced. Turns out the guy has a bunch of duals, and knows them pretty well... was happy to hear that.

    New turntable day! Finally

    So, I finally picked one. Thanks to everyone’s help figuring this out this passed week in my other thread. After a lot of research, I decided dual was the way to go for my price range and preferences. Of all the models in my price range on Craigslist, I decided this one was my best bet. Table...

    I’ve definitely heard great things about it. It’s listed as having a new stylus and cartridge, so that’s a start. The 510 is listed as recently serviced, new motor, new cords, lubed up, and ready to go. Which is enticing cause I definitely don’t want another project. I want something to listen...

    1219 might not work out, but I’m planning to check out a 510 and a 1229 this weekend. I’ve pretty much narrowed it down to dual. Especially since there’s so many around, lots to choose from. Locally on Craigslist there is... - 604 - 506 - cs504 - cs505-1 - 1219 - 1210 - 1214 - dt250 - cs514...

    Help me find hi-res photos of B&W album covers? (community project)

    Find the image you want, and then use photo editing software like Lightroom or photoshop and do it yourself! That way if there’s something specific you want, and you can’t find it in black and white... you can just find a good quality image of the cover, and then doctor it up yourself. You...

    So I think I’m going to be choosing between the following: Dual 604 for $295 Technics sldd2 for $310 Or if I’m lucky, there’s a dual 1219 on Craigslist for $225, but it’s a little out of the way and I may not be able to make it. All prices in Canadian of course. One I have a new working...

    Bd-2000 issues and questions

    I’m going to realign it tomorrow, hopefully I can find an alignment protractor or something. I’m not sure which one to use though.

    Bd-2000 issues and questions

    I’ll try it again. But anything below the amount of pressure where the cartridge drags, and I start getting sibilance and distortion.

    Bd-2000 issues and questions

    I just put a new stylus on it, and tracking weight is only at 2.0 G. Maybe I should return the styles.

    Bd-2000 issues and questions

    fairly certain the cartridge is even hitting the vinyl at some points. This is so frustrating haha Why can't things just work?

    The overall plan is to get something... Decent. Better than the BD-2000, and LP-60 I currently have, but without spending over $300 Canadian. Just to use for the next few months, so I can properly enjoy my vinyl. Then while I use the new one... I can fix the BD-2000, and then do more research...
