Dual 721 turntable - opinions/advice?
I just came across this thread. Craig your 721 does NOT have the ULM arm, it has the 4 point gimbal. It will accept a 1/2 inch cart from 4.5 to 10 grams. I have a CS-721 late model. You can tell if yours is late or early by the platter. The early ...

Clueless Analog Newbie, Looking to Buy

Dual Turntables
i have a recently purchased refurbed 721 with an ortofon blue 2M cartridge and upgraded (Dayton Audio) RCA's. I love this table, solid and very very quiet, and the sound is fab. 
Reel tapes recommendations
what Mitch4t said, I got a few of those that I had to throw out. Still mad about it because one was Jeff Beck live (with Rod the Mod singing Ain't superstitous!) and I know that's gone forever... 
suggest a replacement tube for my Bellari VP-130..
thanks for the info. Ordered the Ei and a Mullard for some "rolling" around to feel out the sound.

Thanks Timeltel, that answers my query. I looked at the one you referenced on EBAY and mine is identical to that. Starting bid is $129, damn! I oughta sell mine being that I got a Ortofon 2M blue coming and I only paid $199 for the table, I might ...

721 arrived today(!), I can't get over how clean and unused it looks. And Jb0194 thanks a million, you were right about the RCA's, they just plugged onto a board. Easy swap, the original are mighty thin, I had to "manipulate" my much thicker Dayto... 
whats the diff btw a Planar 3 and a P3?
so given that trade of though, putting the upgraded motor in a planar to a certain degree of course, transforms the planar to a P. The reason I'm asking because if that's all I think I'll have a Rega I can afford! 
Woofer motion problem.
Back in the day I had a big ol' honkin' reciever (marantz or Technics, can't remember which) that had a switch on it that said Subsonic Filter, if I didn't turn this ON the woofer would do what you are descibing when I played records.

i pulled the trigger on the 721. I paid $299.00 but oh well, its less than my $450.00 budget. I'm kinda anxious being I haven't heard vinyl is so long. Thanks to all and Mr_hosehead, the stylus is new(shure V-15 type 3 w/stylus), the reciept and s...
