Best Audio 262-186 1/2 inch cartridge adapter for certain Dual turntables equipped with the ULM tonearm in select 500, 600, and later 1200 series models (506, 522, 528, 606, 622, 626, 650RC, 1256, 1257,1264).
Our injection molded cartridge adapter is manufactured to exact OEM dimensions which means you can accurately mount your cartridge for maximum groove tracing and minimal sound distortion.
Unlike other sellers of the 3D print variety, we said no to a metal dowel (a common fault of 3D parts is so called mounting pins break, thereby requiring a dowel pin), and no to a brass insert resulting in silicone ooze.
We chose one monolithic mold, just like the original. The result is an authentic looking adapter.
We also offer a cartridge alignment gauge designed for this adapter, please see our other listing.
Depending on the weight of your cartridge an additional counterweight might be required to properly balance the tonearm.
This item ships with a M2 machine screw. Some users report that our screw is too long. You mileage will vary. If need be, procure a shorter M2 machine screw.
