    Does not even have a platter to it! At $1,999.00 it looks..... fishy, to say the least!

    It sure stinks like a fish! Looks very home brew to me.

    Hey, what is it with Canada and turntables? I see auctions all the time for Dual turntables, and the majority have been from Canada. What, is that the official turntable of Canada? ;)

    A DIY turntable can have excellent sound, but there is no way of knowing that until you actually hear it. Looks like an Ebay version of buying a pig in a poke.

    This is poop. And a lot of work to sell a few pieces of metal and wood. The english language seems to fluff up just about anything.

    Most good turntable bases are VERY good at acoustic damping. Regas are suprisingly "dead" and isolated. You need to very little to nothing!

    Nah - these are made by Mitch Cotter and have been very well received for a while now - I believe VPI used one of his decks for reference when designing the TNT. I haven't heard one myself (don't know if there are any in the country) but lots of folks out there on the wire appreciate them :)

    All the best - Andrew

    If you search for Denon under "turntables" on eBay, there is a Kenwood direct drive mounted with a Denon arm. I *think* this is the turntable base that was made out of marble...certainly looks it!

    That auction for that turntable contraption, though, really could use some better, more descriptive photos! It might be high dollar and noteworthy, but it doesn't look like it in the photos!

    That's actually one of the better pictures of a Cotter that I've seen :D :laugh: They all look kind of "functional"

    Dual Turntables

    I really don't have too many statistics on these beauties but they were very popular one time in these hear parts. They were a cut above Pioneer, etc. and Dual only MADE turntables (if I remember right). I addition, with each :nauga: :nauga: dual Nauga, you'd get a free cartridge. :cool:

    That picture you posted at least makes it LOOK functional! :) At least it looks like something I could stick my vinyl on. ;)

    Re: Dual Turntables

    Gary, I think Dual made the whole soup to nuts of hi-fi equipment - see http://www.compassnet.com/concept/index.html :)

    Re: Dual Turntables

    Yes, I think Dual stuck to turntables. I looked at a couple of Denon turntables today, and they, too, were from Canada. I don't know why there seems to be such a disproportionate number of 'tables from Canada via eBay! One I saw was in Hamilton...could drive there from here. :)

    Hey, found a picture of an old Micro Seiki! Always wanted one of these:

    It just LOOKS cool. :D

    Soup to nuts, Andrew? Do you know my Father in law????

    I don't remember anything else by Dual in Canada. On the other hand my memory could be going because of .... uhhh, something about .....

    .... uhhhh ......

    Anyone have a soup recipe with nuts in it?

    In the early 70's I had a Sansui TT while 3 of my friends had Dual's.
