Are Dual turntables any good?


If so, what vintage? Are they tweakable?

I saw a Dual at the flea market this weekend. Should have wrote down which one it was. I'll check back next week. I'm thinking the table is from the early 80s.

Been looking around for cheap tables to tinker with and perhaps learn something.

the old 701 or 721 was a good table for the late 70's. it was my standard for many years and was a very reliable table. I think the newer tables in the 80's and later are better, but for a cheap plug and play, the 701 was hard to beat with a shure MM cartridge
Put a high quality cartrige on a Dual and your good to go.I put a Soundsmith cartrige and never looked back. My set up is Bat-3ix pre amp,Sony sacd modified by Modwright,Usher speakers x719, Morrow audio cables, Dual 601 with Soundsmith cartrige.
