I Remember....

Dual doing this demo back in the late '70s at the NY Audio Show!



Wouldn't do this with my. VPI.

Didn't BIC do a similar demo with their tables?

Did it prove anything?

Did it prove anything?

It proved the arm was dynamically balanced and it would play an LP even if the table was upside down.

This type of demo is what convinced me to buy my Dual in the late 70's. Walked into Pacific Stereo said I was looking for a turntable. After looking at a few he took me over to the Dual section and said that NO other turntable could do what he was about to show me. He proceeded to turn the table on its side and started to play a record. Utterly amazed I just had to have it and still have it to this day.... It doesn't hold a candle to my Wave Kinetics NVS but it still works and may end up in a second system somewhere.

What a great selling feature.

Wow and would probably still play during a 8.0.

Here's another oddity with dynamic balance. Made by the sister company of your TT maker mep.
