Our pioneering design improves on the original Dual cartridge holder and is manufactured from a very smooth, strong, and high quality plastic without any dimples, deformities, and warps. We then add gold plated spring-loaded contact pins and hand-soldered wire leads for an excellent audio signal. Our cartridge holder has been the most popular, reliable, and highest quality item on the market for many years with over 1,400 units sold.  A great item at a fair price.  

We've replaced the flat leaf spring contacts that eventually break free from their plastic nubs. Our spring-loaded pins fit perfectly and their high quality craftsmanship contributes directly to consistent high quality sound.

We've also improved on Dual's crimped connection wiring which weakens over time and becomes contaminated by electrical oxidation. Our design features high quality multi-strand silver coated wire and all connections are hand soldered using the finest quality lead-free silver based solder for an excellent audio signal.

The original U-shaped cartridge clips make poor contact on round cartridge pins. We use strong round connectors with a slight split that make full, solid contact plus you can easily adjust them to fit any diameter pin.

Our premium brass underside liner provides the perfect ground and doesn't add unnecessary weight, bulk, nor change the arm's effective mass which is important for proper tonearm balance and control.  

As a bonus, we also include our Tracking Angle Shim. Like Dual we recommend installing this shim when playing single LPs to establish a more precise stylus vertical tracking angle.

Our cartridge holder fits the Dual 1009SK, 1009SK2, 1009F, 1010, 1010F, 1010S, 1015, 1015F, 1016, and 1019 models. If you don't see your model listed send us a message. We'll be happy to let you know if our cartridge holder will fit your Dual tonearm.
