I currently own both the T-60 and the 721. I prefer the 721 if properly set up and mated to a synergistic cartridge. I'll sell you my T-60 (in great shape and w/Herbies "Way Excellent II" mat - lacks a dustcover) if you're ever interested. I seriously doubt anyone else has ever compared these same models side by side in their own homes (no less recently and on a good system) as I have. Then again, I may not have audiophile ears...
Harman Kardon T-60 vs Dual 721
I have a Dual 721 that works great, and I'm considering putting a Sumiko Pearl cart on it. However, I could pick up a Hardan Kardon T-60 with the Ito arm on it, supposedly in good shape. I would have to get a new cart for the HK.
Does anyone have opinions about these older TTs ?
The HK T-60 is represented as in very good shape, and as the "poor man's Linn Sondek".
The Dual is just a great TT with a very solid direct drive.
I need to make a decision is a couple of days, so any knowledgeable advice is useful to me.
I know neither of these is a contemporary model like a Technics 1200, or a Pro-Ject, but a couple hundred dollars is is my budget arena.
Basic question is this, is it an upgrade over the Dual 721 to get the HK T-60?
