The TTX is better than the old Dual (model 1219) I own in specs, but the TT200 is inferior (wow and flutter - lower numbers are better: TT200 0.2% vs. TTX 0.03% vs. Dual 1219 0.06%; rumble - higher numbers are better: TT200 -40dB/-50dB vs. TTX -58dB/-79dB vs. 1219 -45dB/-60dB). For comparison the Technics SL 1200 MK2 is a respectable 0.01% wow and flutter and -78dB rumble. You get what you pay for in a new turntable, but for home use (not DJing) the vintage Duals can't be beat for the money.
