The Stereo Shop__Turntable Calibration 2

How to balance, a dynamically balanced tone arm, using a Dual 505 turntable with an Ortofon OM-10 phono cartridge. The tonearm features a 4 point bearing, a counter weight, and a precision calibrated spring at the the pivot point, to add the downward force (weight). Check out my other video to learn how to calibrate a statically balanced arm. The Stereo Shop, Hartford CT.

Thank you for posting this video. I have just bought a pre loved 505-2 and this was much more use than the manuals I have found online!

So far I've changed the belts and repaired the sticking micro switch that seem to be the bane of these decks. Now I have to diagnose the source of huge amounts of ground hum. I think it may be my amp or the RCA cables as the hum varies when the cables are wiggled at the amp end (Cyrus integrated).

Many thanks!

One thing about those Dual tables, is they are AMAZING trackers! I can do the same with my early 1970's Dual 1219 :)

Mcintosh :P! Great video, I am not really into vinyl, due to my music collection being mostly digital (sigh).
