I recently aquired a Dual CS508 and thought i would give analog a try. This is my first table, though i am familiar with the sound that a "good table can prodce. To be honest this thing sounds horrible, it has no life whatsoever.. Before i go spending money on a ortofon super10 to replace the original cartridge, is this thing worth putting time and effort into? There are also a few mechanical problems that i can fix as well, such as the arm lift not working due to a missing c clip. As far as setting the arm, i set the weight to allow the arm to float and set the side dial to the desired tracking force of 1, which was too heavy. I also noticed that the side dial wont go much beyond 1 although it is labled beyond 2. Any thoughts?
