Reminiscing about Dual and AR turntables

Hi Everyone,

Full disclosure, I don't own any vinyl, but I love all sorts of gear. Listen, one thing I have been thinking about are the Dual and AR turntables. When I was a kid, those were super in demand. 

Today I hardly ever hear anyone mention them, instead I see a lot of demand for Thorens. 

I'm just curious from those of you who follow why that might be.

Best,

E

Lewm, the AR XA is a way more sophisticated turntable than any Dual, It just does not look that way. With a new tonearm it will out perform many modern turntables. Any one without a suspension.
Anyone who has not seen this video and loves turntables needs to watch it. There are a ton of jewels in it.
