Re: Dual 1219 problem

Guess what! I pulled off the Monster Cables I was using (I thought the original cable looked ratty) and replaced it with the originals. Humming gone. Why should this be? Isn't the basic design of all RCA-type audio interconnects the same? Any thoughts on this?

Re: Dual 1219 problem

Well, I tried running a wire from the chassis to the ground connection on my preamp. The thing hums like crazy. It only seems to work well via a DIN-type adapter with my old B&O. What's up with this? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Dual 1219 problem

I am pleased to report that I've got the mechanical problems solved after a lot of cleaning and lubing. Now I notice that although this unit is equipped with RCA-type (cinch) connectors, I don't see the ground wire that would normally be found on turntables. When I connected it via a DIN type adapte...

Dual 1219 problem

I just bought a Dual 1219 which seems to have a couple of problems. As the arm enters an automatic start or stop cycle the machine makes a groaning noise. Also, the motor seems to keep on running after the end of a shut-off cycle. Sometimes it will shut off fairly quickly, but it is generally unpred...

Re: Telefunken TW 504

Hi, I was able to test the cart. on the changer by running an adapter to an old Akai receiver. Both channels are ok. The Telefunken's stability impresses me; it's almost as good as my B&O 9500. Of course, the frequency response was way off since I had to use a "tape" input to do the te...

Re: Telefunken TW 504

That's a good suggestion. Thank you! Now for another question. This unit has a 3-pin DIN type plug which I am connecting up to a 1964 SABA Wildbad 12 radio. The SABA has a phono input which accepts a 5 pin DIN, but this one seems to fit because of the location of the pins. Anyway, I've noticed that ...

Telefunken TW 504

Just received this changer. It seems to be stuck in a "loop" where the arm lifts, retracts, then goes back and resumes play in the middle of the record. The stacker arm was bent in transit; it is visibly crooked. Any ideas?
Thanks!
