With a little modification, a super Turntable for the price!

The Dual DTJ 301.1 is a pretty good successful Technics / Panasonic MK2 Clone! The included collector system from Audio Technica is not worth much, but you can like me, for example, install the Ortofon CC Pro S Cartridge (about 70 euros) and then receives a quite passable Turtable for home use. Transmitted through the plastic housing of course sounds easier than that of a metal, but you also do not constantly fumbling around on the housing. For the dual and only costs one-fifth of Technics and is five times better! For me, the Dual is trouble-free to a HIFI board with glass plate (through the well-damped and adjustable feet, the device is well decoupled). Rear you can still find a desk where you can choose whether you want to operate the Dual to a phono or line input. Anyone who is looking for a reasonable turntable for the home, will be rewarded here with surprisingly good sound and reasonable quality.

A tip I still have: If your thin plastic ridges cuts on the hinges with a knife and the catch flexes a little, you can open the cover in the state at any time, remove and normal folding function remains active! Very Convenient!

Edit 1:
In the instruction manual is missing one important detail: the height of the stop Tonarmhebers must be set so that the needle can not come to the Stroboskoprand the platter. This one is simply a on the small Phillips head screw on Tonarmheber!

Edit 2:
The Tonabnehmerarm provides you as follows: Set the counterweight so that the arm floats including system in balance.. Then the scale ring to zero (you can adjust to the small set screw on the counterweight as easy to go the Turn). What is the weight applied to be in the manual of the respective system. When Concorde Pro S needle the applied weight is 3-4 grams, so make the ring to 3.5, as well as the Anti Skip to 3.5 and everything is clear!

Replacement needles for the Ortofon system there for about 25 euros here: Ortofon Pro S needle
