    Dual 1015 emits strange knocking noise

    Hello again my dears! My good old Dual 1015 started to „transmit” noise in my speakers. The sound started to be heard while playing a vinyl with a lot of base. It was like the wind was blowing in a microphone. Then it started to feel like someone was knocking in a door. I called my friend who...

    Dual CS 505-1 headshell removal and replacement

    Earlier this summer, I picked up this Dual CS 505-1 at a thrift shop for $5. I quickly verified it had power and it even turned at 33.1 RPM using an Android app, so I figured it was worth picking up if nothing but to learn about it and see if I could get it working. I've salvaged other TTs in...

    Advice needed: Shure M44-7, M75E, and M95ED

    I've got three Dual turntables right now. A 1019 with a Shure M74E, a 1209 with a Shure M44-7, and a Dual 1216 with a Shure M95ED. I’ll be keeping one of them, and I’m afraid I will let the others go with a cartridge I should have kept. I do have other cartridges including a Stanton L727E, a...

    Dual 704 or 1246

    I am curious which is a better turntable to purchase. Both are for sale locally for roughly the same price. I do know the 1246 ($150) is with its original owner, has manuals, and has been serviced by Bill at “Fix My Dual”. The 704 was serviced at some point by the owner and is $200. Thanks!

    Dual CS 455-1

    I have the opportunity to snag a dual cs 455-1 for $200.

    I needed to replace my tonearm wires on my Dual CS 1257 because the originals broke and couldn't hold a solder, very brittle. I ordered another set from a rip-out place, and they proved to be equally brittle. I cleared all of my solder with a wick, and this is my third attempt. These are the...
