Sorry for late reply, just finished a 2-9.30 shift.Originally Posted by DSJR
Not as sexy as the technics 205 is it
Still, enjoy the Shure, I know you will, very much I suspect
You're right Dave, the Shure is 2nd division when it comes to build and pride of ownership but i am gonna try it 1st, the 205 will be for special occasion.
Darren,using a Garrard 401 + Alphason HR100s just now, Lenco 59 waiting to be plinthed and various arms, quietly trying to snag a 301 cheap but no joy so far.

The L59 should be amazing with the Shure. Does it have the metal arm or the curvy bakelite/plastic one? I've seen Russ Collinson's Lenco plinths and they really look the biz
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

Dave, it hasn't got an arm on it at the moment, bought it a while back, put in a £50.00 bid and left it, through some freak of nature nobody else put a bid in, think the finishing coincided with Euro cup so got it for the starting price of £49.00.minted and runs a lot quieter than the 88 i had.

You asked because you guessed i've held one back, a fully working but in bits waiting to be plinthed Dual 721 early model with EDS 1000 mk2 motor,Not sure why i asked really,as i have only ever heard a Technics 1200having read all the positives on here regarding that dj deck, i am wondering if i've backed the wrong DD deck,
hence it's still waiting to be housed for the last 2 years.

Those Duals need some care. The motor may be better than that on my 701 (a mk1 version with noisy speed pots I think), but I'm not sure about the arm. Either that or standards dramatically changed in a couple of years. A more solid plinth can't do any harm though and I can advise on the arm bearings, suitable cartridges (not really the SC35C in my view) and sorting the wiring and springs to work better...
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,

Dave, when i bought my 721 it was in a home made plinth drill for a Rega arm already sans any Dual bits, but i didn't like the quality of the work so decided to toss the shoddy work, i bought it soley for the quality of that motor which i am led to believe it powers the Goldmund Reference TT's, is that right?.

Marco, i think Dave was referring to the Dual arm and SC35c compatability, not the Tecnoarm + SC35c which i plan to put on.
