Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that the installation in my DUAL 601 worked great. I had a very noticeable humming noise before, which seemed to have its direct origin in the DIN cable. I contacted Art of Vinyl by email about this and received a prompt response the next day. The video instructions were clear and easy to understand. This is the first review I've ever written about anything, but I thought this feedback was appropriate.
Thank you. Swapped out Din lead for RCA leads (supplied by yourself) replaced the Steuerpimpel and changed the cartridge and attached a new head shell (supplied by you). Now my Dual 621 is working perfectly and sounds amazing
You just helped me to fix my CS701 with molten power supply. Giving up on the original unit, I went for a plain 12V DC supply (LED-string type). Missing the stroboscope and havin to adjust speed, but otherwise fine. Thanks a lot for your very helpful video!!!
In case you’re here with a Dual 502, it only needs standard rca cables (males on each end). They plug right in, internally, just like they connect to your receiver.
Thank you! I replaced the RCA cables on my CS 505-2 and this video pointed me in the right direction. Details are different; the internal connection and the cable protector was hard to remove.
Muy agradecido por tu video ..yo me compre una dual 1225..sonaba genial ..pero el cable rca estaba malogrado ..lo cambié y ahora suena un ruido parasitó que no se de donde viene ..no se si debí haberle cambiado el cable
According to the Dual user manual this indeed is the case when switching from a DIN connector to RCA plugs. In my experience this setup however never gives a hum and it is much easier for people to do themselves, with a lower risk of damage to the fragile tonearm wiring.
Replaced RCA cable and am getting constant low-level hum. (Old cable was intermittent hum, sounded like broken wires inside the cable; you could adjust cable and stop the hum). CS 1268.
Greetings, I have 704 model, I had it refurbished, but now I have a problem that the left channel is about 5 db lower than the right one, at first I thought it's amplifier, but after some experimentation it turned out it is the turntable. Tonearm, stylus, antiskate etc. is set up properly, do you have any ideas what could it be? Do you think that any contacts might be oxidized?
i realy liked your video! It really helped me open up my old dual 701. I was wondering if you know if there is fuse in there somewhere Cus mine doesn't seem to get any power right now
Hello, I have the dual 1241 I'm having an issue where the unit worked great but now all of a sudden I'm getting nothing from the left side of rca is this a cable issue or is there a bigger internal issue with this unit that needs repair or replacement?
Hi good day. I have the same model but I have a problem, blow the fuses. Could you help me to make the correct connection for 110v on AC. since he comes from europe and i live in mexico. greetings and great channel.
rick03041979 dear Rick, thank you very much for your comment. In that case I would recommend checking out the service manual from vinylengine (you do need a free account for this). I think somewhere in the service manual it states how you can change the wires from the power cable and transformer.
Hi my 1019 after finishing the record the tone arm goes back but not going to rest, and then goes back to re start playing again. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Pinoy, When problems like this start coming up I usually opt to just clean and lubricate the whole automatic part of the turntable. It’s difficult for me to tell the exact reason without seeing the turntable. Make sure you remove all the old grease first and apply the correct new grease (which you can find on vinylengine.com)
Forgive me, But I don't see how you replaced the Line Out Wire RCA cables? I have a CS 5000 model with a RCA connector that has fouled. The connection to the Preamp (NAD 1300) is creating HUM - severe HUM. I wasted money by having the NAD Preamp in a stereo repair shop which replaced a number of burned out diodes. he showed me the burned out ones. When I brought it home, I had HUM again. Then I returned the NAD to the shop. He had the NAD in his shop connected to a TT in the shop for 48 hours - running non stop , No HUM. After returning home, and playing the TT for awhile, the HUM returned. I found that if I jiggled the RCA cables for the TT to the NAD preamp, the HUM was eliminated !! Yes, It is grounded (I redid the ground checked 2X) . So, the culprit is the faulty RCA cable form the Dual TT. I am hesitant to do what is described here - taking the entire TT apart ? Is it a good fix to get new RCA connectors (Soldering kind )? THX for your video description.

Nice video! Very clear dialogue. I have a Dual 721 that I pulled out of a trash pile! it has a few bent parts and needs a stylus but the motor runs.

Nice thorough Video on this TT - which I have. But you don't show the new Cable ? What kind did you use to replace the RCA Cable ?
You have to cut the ground bridges, when you change to cinch with both ground connections.
According to the Dual user manual this indeed is the case when switching from a DIN connector to RCA plugs.
In my experience this setup however never gives a hum and it is much easier for people to do themselves, with a lower risk of damage to the fragile tonearm wiring.
@@ArtOfVinylTurntableRepairs OK, yes, can be. Did you connect an extra ground cable to the chassis as well which is going to the ground of the Amp?

Yannick OnTheWorldWideWeb I’d recommend to check out vinylengine.com for the user manual.
Thanks for the reply. I got it working again!
do you know where I can order the rca to those snap connections that appear in the bottom left picture of this youtube video?
Did you find any, anywhere?
Yes, you can buy them on my webshop.
Here you can find the link:

Shure V15 type III and dual 721, my setup exactly.

My 721 has RCA jacks on the bottom already. Was this done as an upgrade by Dual at some point or did someone else do it?
Hallo. I have a dual cs5000 that have bad phono plugs. Can i change the cable the same Way on that, you Think.
Hello! Its fit to 741Q?🤔
at start, also remove the counterweight, specially for the 701/704/721 the CW it is a fragile part ....
What about the Grounding?
Where can I get this cable??!!

@@ArtOfVinylTurntableRepairs I will do it, I just need to buy a lithium oil in Amazon. Thanks.
Why am I replacing and with what. Just asking..🤔

Does this also work for DUAL 601?
Yes it should.
You should get a mount for your phone
Yes, I have one now as you can see in my newer videos :)
Im replace only din on cinch 🤷
