    Dual 502 or Pro-Ject RPM-1 Carbon

    Hey, I was just wondering which turntable is better, the Dual 502 or the RPM-1 Carbon. Both have Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridges. The dual looks exceptionally clean. Can't wait to hear what you people think!

    Garrard or Dual turntables any good?

    Back in the '60s and '70s I recall hearing a lot about Garrard and Dual turntables, but I really don't know anything about them. I've heard that the Garrard 301 and 401 transcription turntables are pretty good, but what about other models (like the 95b)? I have some cool old turntables by...

    Dual 1219 strobe in the platter question?

    I have a Dual 1219 TT and on the rubber in the platter there are strobe lines to set the speed. How do I use these? I have used strobe lines before on other TT's where you adjust the speed and the lines stop but I just can't figure out how to get this one to work. Thanks

    Which Dual?

    Hello Everyone! I have to make a choice, I have a chance to get three Dual turntables. But I can only keep one. All of them work but could use a good going through. They are: a 1015, 1216 or 1242. I know none of these are top of the line tables. Which one would you choose and why? Thanks!

    Dual CL-9 Speakers - has anyone heard of these?

    I recently saw a pair of these at a friends house, and remarked on the metal grills and the fact they were made by Dual. So when I got home, I decided to research on them, but for the life of me, I can't find any information on them. Has anyone heard these babies? What do you think of them?
