My DUAL CS731 Q had given up the ghost after only 34 years. Since there is probably DUAL only as "stickers" for Allerwelts turntable, my choice is now fallen to the AT-120 LP-USBC. The unit was on Amazon on the evening of 11:02. ordered and NWC trading DHL already at 13:02. delivered. And this for only 246.00 EURO. The device comes with a combined manual in English, French and Spanish. Therefore, I have found me the German edition as a PDF download. As an old analog rabbit I have had no problems during the assembly of equipment, protective cover and reading system (AT95, already assembled on headshell). Since my amplifier has a built in equalizer pre-amplifier, the appropriate default on AT was chosen, the device is connected to the amplifier, the set supplied with the instrument puck for single-records on the platter and then ... did not fit the single by the puck , That's probably a bit too big. But one has the DUAL-Puck. The fits and wonder and then curtain. The sound with the AT-95er system is really excellent (based on the value for money). That the unit has no automatic tone arm has, is quickly forgotten (is just a DJ player), because there it is the possibility of Laufwerstopps with start-stop button and tone arm return with arm lift. The criticized by other reviewers quiet hum does not occur with my device. Now I'm going the right scanning AT Mono3 // SP buy me at Audio Technica in the web shop (Amazon Germany is not available), and I can finally enjoy my shellac record collection again. Is the AT-120 LP not a problem because he has 78 RPM as the third play speed. Dubbing to a PC is also possible without any problems thanks to USB interface. Several adapter cable and the appropriate PC software with operating instructions in English are included. Conclusion: An absolutely hochertiger turntable with equal equipment and processing at a moderate price. First recommendation for all analog freaks. Only the puck for single-records, because you have to work on it even when Audio-Technica ;-).
