  • So I bought a Dual DTJ 301.1 record player. Happy birthday to me.
    This Marillion LP has been waiting fifteen years to be played again.. One of my favourite albums ever.
    Audio recorded straight from the line out connectors of the Dual.
    While we definitely are not talking about high end Hi-Fi here, I think this Dual is really worth the 119 Eur I paid for it.

    Been listening to them since the days of Misplaced Childhood! Amazing band. This will always be my favorite album of theirs. It’s perfect!! From Fish’s voice, those lyrics, and the instruments!!! A stage full of Virtuoso’s!!!! A true Masterpiece!! Timeless!!!

    Stellar band all the way through. Fish's voice is epic. Such an intelligent and talented group of true musicians. This band was more than just a band but a total vibe. Wonderful body of work through and through.

    This sounds just like what I would stay up all night listening to on headphones down in the rec room so I wouldn't disturb my folks. FM radio back then would play full sides of LPs with no commercial breaks too in the wee hours.

    Slàinte Mhath is in my top 3 favorite Marillion songs! Never got to see the original band with Fish, but I have everything they recorded, along with Marillion with Steve Hogarth. Such a great band.

      Lucky enough see Marillion with Fish here in Dublin along time ago about 1983 with Fish. Always loved the band and saw them many times in England wirh Steve such amazing albums and a band ahead of their time or equal with Genesis3

    Great album Straws, really atmospheric with brilliant lyrics by Fish and superb playing by the band. My big brother bought it on vinyl when it was released. I remember the cd edition had one extra track, Going Under.

      @@jamiecovfefe6323 I see EMI has released all the Fish era albums in box sets (with loads of extras). Managed to get the Script one 2nd hand at a decent price. Beautifully packaged in the style of a hard back book.

    "Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now...."
    BTW - this DMM pressing is probably the best vinyl version of the album, perhaps the Japanese pressing beats it but only just.

    I love this song. When I first heard it, back nineteen **cough** eighty **cough** **mumble**, I went and bought Jack Kerouac's "On the road". IMHO: Total bollocks. Gave the book away. Still love the song, though, after all these years.

    I see in your video that unfortunately you have the phono-cartridge not properly leveled with the surface of the vinyl. You should try to twist the heafshell. There is some clearance to move the headshell left and right just before locking the screw. The sound will improve! To prevent wear of your vinyl records you can easely set te stylus force at 2.0 grams. I'm very happy with my DTJ 301.

    • @kikkomies
      @kikkomies  6 років тому +1

      Yeah, the stylus was a bit slanted back then, this video was shot pretty much right after i unboxed the damn thing :) I did fix things after this first high though.
      This record player was a reboot for my vinyl collecting hobby, after that I have had many vintage 80s and 70s turntables (currently a Dual CS 505-4 in the living room and a late 70's Philips here in my study) and pretty much quadrupled my vinyl collection of 70s and 70s rock and pop music.

    Are you still using this record player? Is it a good record player? there are not enough reviews on the internet

    • @kikkomies
      @kikkomies  8 років тому

      Well obviously it is not such a workhorse like a Technics would be, but I'd say it was definitely worth the price.
      Unfortunately I don't have mine any more, I sold it while upgrading my music system.

      thank you for the reply. I first ordered audio technica at lp60. but there were problem on the delivery. I am looking for a record player that's not more than 200 euros. and this one is 190 euros. well, I guess this is better than lp60
