The worst warped record in your collection can lead to the best investment you ever made.
If you have a record in your collection that's too warped to play and too valuable to discard, we have a suggestion for you.
Bring that record to your audio specialist and ask him to play it on a Dual ULM turntable.
You will hear the music the way it should be heard. Because the ULM tonearm will track that record as if it were perfect.
ULM is Dual's exclusive Ultra Low Mass tonearm system, with total effective
mass of 8 grams.
That's less than half the mass of conventional tonearm and cartridge combinations. And there's no mistaking the difference , ULM makes in what you hear.
That difference has been confirmed by the independent test labs that tested ULM with warped records as real-life test instruments.
"... tracked the most severely warped records in our collection, usually so well that we head nothing wrong".
-Stereo Review
"Navigating the worst warps we could find, the Dual/Ortofon combination proved very agile indeed, with nary a mistrack."
-High Fidelity
"Even a severe warn that would normally throw the pickup into the air will usually give no more than a slight 'thump' ... and most warps are undetectable by ear”.
-Popular Electronics
"The Dual takes dead aim at the fiend of disc reproduction the warped record--and response to record warps practically is eliminated at the source'
-Stereo
One lab also listened to a favorite unwraped record played by the same ULM tonearm and cartridge system. Its reaction:
"There is no way measurements,or mere words, can describe the acoustic presence... highs are crystalline, with a purity we haven't heard before. The bass is so clean that one can hear new sounds from records, such as the harmonic vibration of un-played strings on the double bass...overall definition and transient response were outstanding!”
-HiFi/Stereo Buyers' Guide
Now just think about all the records in your collection you can enjoy once again. And all the records yet to be bought.
Then consider the one-time investment in a Dual. An investment that may be less than you think.
For example, the single-play, semi-automatic Dual 508 with Dario-belt drive is less than $160.
And the low prices of the nine other new Dual ULM turntables may also surprise you.
