    Dual 1219 Catches when returning.

    My Dual 1219 has moments when returning the arm to the rest it will catch and stop around where approx song 2 would be at. When it does that and I try to ease it back to the rest stand there is something that the arm catches on and it will make a click after a moment then I can get it back...

    Dual CS 1237 issue

    so my inherited Dual starts the process of LP posting by moving into position and immediately returning and turning off. Manually moving the tone arm works fine and the stopping process does as well. Any ideas are very welcomed thanks

    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. The...

    Dual 1216 - Neat little turntable

    In perusing local classified this weekend, I noticed a fairly nondescript ad for a Dual 1216 turntable, with a nice walnut plinth branded Noresco (the Canadian distributor). However, what really caught my attention was the blue cartridge - and yes, it was a Shure M97xe. I chose a Grado Green...

    Where to get a Plinth Template for a Dual 721 TT

    Just bought a Dual 721 TT today for pretty cheap. Think I did well on it. From what I'm reading in various places, it's a pretty good TT. I've never owned a Dual before. I'll be interested to give it a try out next to my Denon DP-59L when I get my new system up and running. I see that the 721...

    New turntable

    Last week picked up a Dual 505-2 turntable - I like it very much! Here's the current TT lineup: Dual 505-2, Technics SL-1900 and B&O RX2. The Dual and Technics sound great, I have some "hum" issues with the B&O.

    Dual 1019 noise level

    Hello, I recently bought a Dual 1019 from a guy who told me he completely serviced it. I must say I'm in love with this machine, but since it's my first idler TT, well, I'm not sure what to expect. So I'm uploading this little audio clip for you to listen and tell me if the mechanical noise can...

    Dual 1226 mysteriously stopped producing audio?

    Two nights ago, I was listening to a record on headphones. The last track on the side started to sound pretty bad - like the stylus was clogged with lint. I checked the stylus and it looked fine, so I shut everything off and called it a night. (Note: I'm not sure if this sound issue is...

    Tonearm misses the edge of the record

    The tonearm lifts from the arm rest, moves laterally to the record, then stops before dropping down on the record. While it's still up, the tonearm is still straight but as soon as it starts to drop towards the record, the tonearm seems to become kinda "loose" and drifts a little to the right...

    Dual 1226 not placing stylus correctly?

    Lately (now that I think about it, this started since I replaced the cart/stylus), when the TT automatically drops the needle (and also sometimes when I place the needle), the stylus rapidly jumps to the left and usually skips over a groove or two, which is a very rough, unpleasant start when...
