One of Dual's most collectible, loved by fans. With an ingenious tonearm and two anti-resonators, you'll find this turntable performs better than you'd expect at this price point. This is a steal.

- Liner Notes
I have owned one of these for a few years now. It only needed minimal maintenance to correct a few age related problems like dirty contacts.
