Hello all,
I picked up a Dual 1009 last week. I fitted it with a Audio Technica AT-VM95C. It played beautifully after set up but i decided to upgrade to an Ortofon 2m red.
After dialing it in to the recommended specs i started spinning. I carefully clean each record before playing, i am...
Hey guys, just picked up a 1009. It had a shure M3D but I swapped it out for an Audio-Technica blue. I'm I better off getting a replacement stylus for the Shure it came with?
Regards,

Hi,
I'm new to audio karma and was hoping to get some help. I am looking at the Dual 1209 and the Dual 1009 locally. They both seem to be in great condition, but before I go look at them and hear them, I'm curious about what things to look for, which is "better", etc. Interested to hear any and...
PROLOGUE
First and foremost, thank you all for this huge source of information thank to which, after much reading, watching, reasoning and eventually figuring out, I decided I was ready to buy an old Dual 1009, disassemble it and start to lovingly and carefully service it.

As my quarantine obsession with vintage audio continues, I just picked up a Dual 1009(F) TT the other day. Bought it from a gal who was helping her widowed mom sell off her dad's old audio gear. Of course the ad read "excellent condition and works great". When I picked it up it was in fact in...
Hello all,
I recently restored a Dual 1009SK to full functionality, thanks in NO small part to all the information I got here... It made me fall back in love with vinyl, after a decade-plus, digital-only hiatus. It works, sounds, and looks fantastic, and I'm almost 100% happy with it... ALMOST...
I would like to find a ten inch cork or similar mat for my small platter Dual 1009 turntable, in 3 mm ( or close) thickness. I've looked on the auction site, 12 inchers are easy to find, but smaller? Any ideas?
Hey guys, Ive been looking for a nice turntable and have found several options on my local craigslist. I am currently debating between the Dual 1009 and the Dual 1264 model. The 1009 is in good condition and looks as if it has been maintained well over the years, and is listed for $110.

Sadly, I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to audio equipment.
I'd appreciate if someone could help me identify this gear and estimate what it is worth.
There are:

I have mentioned elsewhere that I am spending a few months traveling back and forth between the east and west coasts. I couldn't bear living without good music so I put together a decent home-away-from-home system with a MAC754 amp and a pair of IMF speakers. The only thing I was missing was a...
I've been interested in building a cool looking heavy plinth for my Dual 1009 and have a cabinet builder/luthier friend who has wanted to get into the business of making them. On the other hand I'm also about to send the TT to fixmydual who makes nice looking if not as unique plinths w/ a...
Hello,
Newb here, and first post.
I've mainly worked on late 70s Technics and Pioneer TTs, but came across a Dual 1009 with an empire 888 cart in cosmetically perfect condition for $80.
As far as I've read, I should immediately buy this.
My concern is this: the seller states "The record...
Some months back I picked up a Dual 1245 with a Shure M95xE cartridge for my mother-in-law so that she could make use of her extensive, but dusty, old record collection (which includes an original Columbia 6 eye pressing of Kind of Blue). I didn't expect much but after listening to it for a...
