Let me start by saying - i know very little about turntables, but I recently decided to get something to play my old vinal, and picked up this Dual CS 503-1 on Ebay.

I plugged it into my Cambridge Audio A1 amp phono sockets with the expectation of sitting back and listening to some great sounds - unfortunately it seems very quiet (and tinny) and plays at around 35rpm (rather than 33).

I have checked the belt and the two wheels and all seems fine. Any thoughts anyone? I hope I havnt bought a duff turntable.

update: I found outthat my integrated amp requires an optional phone sound stage for turntable use. I have now fitted it and it sounds fine - the pitch is still to fast though. Does anyone have one of these turntables? Is there a pitch adjustment screw or similar located anywhere on the unit?

Often cleaning the belt and the drive rim under the platter will solve this problem. Use Isopropyl alchohol and remove the platter by taking the C-clip off the center spindle.

You can look at the Dual Reference Website, they have all the specs for most of the Dual turntables. http://www.dual-reference.com

They also list parts suppliers as well as repair facilities.
