How to fix poor tone quality on my Dual DTJ 301?
If you are experiencing poor tone quality, loud static noise, or sound dropouts with your Dual Turntable, it could be due to a dirty or worn stylus. Try cleaning the stylus with a brush or replacing it. Also, the record itself may be dirty or dusty, so cleaning it with a record cleaner may help.
What to do if the tone arm skips on my Dual DTJ 301 Turntable?
If the tone arm on your Dual Turntable skips grooves, slides over the record, or doesn't move, consider these potential solutions: * Ensure the record player is on a horizontal base support. * Clean the record with a record cleaner or try a different record. * Adjust the stylus pressure; it may be too low. * Replace the stylus if it is defective. * Check and readjust the antiskating if necessary.
