Dual 1219 cartridge compatability

[crazy-in-az]

I'm looking for a new cartridge (on a budget) for a Dual 1219. It accepts most 1/2 inch, standard mount cartridges. Does anyone know if these cartridges will work? And if you have used them, what is your opinion? Thanks!

At-3600

Hi.

The AT-3600 is one of the most popular budget carts in the world. You can get replacement styli for them almost anywhere, at very reasonable prices. As a result, I was able to get styli to play all speeds - 33, 45, 78 - for under $100. Very happy with the performance.

I have two Dual 1219's and they can be very finicky. So, I would go with the budget cart/stylus first to see if the turntable develops any problems.

I also run a Shure V15/II on the table with Ed Saunders styli.

Cheers.
David.
