In Reply to: Dual 1019 vs Pioneer PL-530 posted by dossravis@gmail.com on November 27, 2015 at 10:20:23:
The Dual idler-wheel decks CAN require a lot of maintenance, chiefly because of the complex auto-return/changer mechanism, which I regard as completely useless. Right now, I'm using a Dual 1229 in my archiving rig, so I speak from experience.
There are some people who swear that an idler wheel tightens the sound, or increases it's "impact". Complete, magical-thinking BS, from those who equate Michael Fremer with B.B Bauer, or who believe every, single thing they read in 'The Absolute Sound'.
The idler wheel just pushes the platter. It can actually have a NEGATIVE effect on the sound if it has a flat spot or if it's gotten hard from age.
What makes a Dual turntable sound good is the tonearm with the decoupled counterweight. Very few people seem to know that. The tonearm was Dual's little magic wand.
BUT, if your aim is to minimize headaches, I'd go with the Pioneer turntable.
