Re: Dual vs. B&O; further thoughts

The TX-2 is a more than decent table. I have used mine nearly everyday since I first bought it, I guess around 1985. I replaced the belts once (still have a spare set and never needed to use them) and the cartridge once some years back.

I currently only use it for recording vinyl to CD but when I play them back on my main rig, the sound is pretty spectacular. Surprisingly so, even to me. The thing is bullet proof and fool proof. I actually bought it so that my now ex-wife could spin records with no hassle. Ditched the wife in 1991. Still have the table. It turned out to be a much better investment in my future...

As far as buying one, now, well I dunno... It's still a 22+ year old table with hard to come by parts. I take really good care of my gear and I'm sure others do to. But, TX-2's are cheap and readily available. 8000's are expensive. I'm willing to bet they don't sound that different, but that would be just a guess on my part.
