And now for something totally different:
Dual 1229

And for good measure, a Garrard 770 w/Unimech:

... and that, boys and girls, is why we don't have record changers any more.
Hateful things... Garrard were the hatefulest of them all; my father hated servicing them. I always thought that the Dual automatics had about five times as many parts for any given function than were actually needed.
My father liked the VM (Voice of Music) mechanisms and owned a VM changer that served from 1958 until well into the 1980s. It was, in fact, my first hifi record player; I put a cheap Pickering conical stylus cartridge on it ca. 1975 or 76 and played pretty respectable mono through an EV Wolverine LS12 fed by a rather glorious (actually) EICO HF-52 PP EL34 mono integrated (50 wpc, with superb iron.
I would've rescued the VM when he downsized from a house to apt in 2006, but it was a little too rusted and gunky cosmetically due to a decade or so of damp storage
Fun fact, the last, and arguably the ultimate, VM changers were sold as the BIC 940/960/980 in the mid 1970s (after the demise of VM).

Gary at VOM is still doing business with parts and stuff. I know several guys over on Vinyl Engine recommend him for certain items.mhardy6647 wrote: »My father liked the VM (Voice of Music) mechanisms and owned a VM changer that served from 1958 until well into the 1980s.

I had to take that Garrard down to almost bare bones in order to clean/service the speed/size selector. There are four settings: 78, 45, 33 (7 in.), & 33 (12 in.), so yeah...lots of fun!"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Back to our regularly-scheduled programming, guts of Symphonic Line RG1-MK3...notice any resemblance? Ok...on second thought, maybe not.

Do it. Me and Trey will get it. -
I would say I would bring the pass labs, but it has to be on for 3 days before it even sounds good. Haha. Plus I don't know if it will be back yet.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Come on, guys...it takes several hours for it to warm-up. I'm more than willing to bring it, but we have to start thinking about how much time we *really* have for critical listening. I can load it up for the trip, no problem, so just say the word.joecoulson wrote: »

Yeah pretty much all of the apps we are talking about take a full 24 hours to get up to speed and they still are not "there"- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

If say just the s300 as my reason for that is possible acquisition of the mono’s if they outperform the Linns. Which will be a hard feat

Great point. Frankly I'll be surprised if Joe can stop flapping his gums long enough to do any real listening. -
