Ha - I slipped - here goes again - sorry

Duals often came with Shures - but their current M78S is to be avoided.

Serious option:

1. Shure M44 with 28thou truncated tip (Elliptical for good records or conical for worn ones)

2. Stanton 500 with 28thou truncated tip (Elliptical for good records or conical for worn ones) which you can get from KAB - see the link.

3. Grado with 28thou truncated tip (Elliptical for good records or conical for worn ones) which you can get from esotericsound.com

My friend's 1019 has a factory fitted Shure M44 - if you want to go down this route the Expert Stylus Company in the UK supply them. KAB may be able to source them as Expert retip the Stantons they sell.

You can get generic 78 styli for the Shure M44, but they won't snuggle into the grooves as well as the truncated ones.

Not sure how well moving coils with 78 tips will work in the Dual so I'd stick with MMs.

Don't forget that you'll need different EQ for your 78s.

Enjoy your 78s.
