701

About the 701

The Dual 701 is a direct drive turntable that was produced from 1973 to 1976. It is renowned for being one of the quietest turntables ever made, thanks to its ultra-low speed DC motor with Hall-effect feedback control and a regulated power supply. The turntable features a non-magnetic, dynamically balanced platter weighing 2.9 kg, which ensures excellent synchronization. It supports speeds of 33.33 and 45 rpm, with electronic adjustment and a pitch control allowing for a 10% adjustment. The tonearm is torsionally rigid and uses a low-friction four-point gimbal suspension, along with two mechanical anti-resonance filters. The Dual 701 is praised for its authoritative and dynamic sound, with a robust tone and thick low-end.
