Dual

Quality Affordable Turntable with Twin Gimbal Tonearm, Built-in Preamp, and Ortofon CartridgeFor the true vinyl enthusiast, the Dual CS 518 turntable is equipped with a sophisticated twin gimbal tonearm design using pivot ball-bearings for optimal precision. This superior tonearm has the ability to guide even high-end cartridges through your record grooves with the greatest degree of precision and reliability.Included with the CS 518 is an Ortofon 2M Red MM phono cartridge and a switchable MM-phono preamplifier, making this 'table ready-to-run after easy set-up. A hinged dust cover completes the package."Priced to Be Heard"England's What Hi-fi? magazine gave the CS 518 its top rating of Five Stars, for reasons of "dynamic and expressive sound, good level of insight, easy to set up and use… It’s well priced and sonically talented enough to be a viable alternative to the best at the price.""Priced to be heard," proclaims Michael Fremer's analogplanet.com review for November 22, 2021. "The 'star' of the show here is the twin-gimbal ball-bearing tonearm, which though I have no way of measuring, has a precise 'feel' and sounded so, as well negotiating tough to track records especially on vocal sibilants. The servo-controlled adjustable 3 speed D.C. motor is also a stand-out feature.""Easily Worth the Asking Price""The CS 518 is not inexpensive, but the workmanship and the sound it produces make it easily worth the asking price," notes Thom Moon, soundstageaccess.com, November 1, 2021. "It’s easy to set up, it offers fine sound quality, it’s well constructed, and it looks good doing its part. If you’re in the market for a turntable in this price range… give the Dual CS 518 a very close look. I’m betting you won’t regret it.""Another pleasant chapter is added to the glorious history of Dual turntables with this device," writes Michael Lang, stereo-magazine.com, October 7, 2021.Twin Gimbal Tonearm and Precision PlatterThe CS 518 boasts a straight, statically balanced tonearm with an advanced twin gimbal design. Four precision pivot ball-bearings provide smooth and accurate tracking. The adjustable tonearm features provide the option to change the phono cartridge in the future should you wish to upgrade and to alter the tracking force and anti-skating accordingly.The precise aluminum die-cast platter uses a heavy rubber mat for resonance damping along with a solid platter bearing with a hardened steel spindle in a brass bushing.Selectable Electronic Speed ControlA turntable as easy to use as the CS 518 would never insist that you wrestle with belts to change speeds. Operation couldn't be simpler. The precise optical speed control lets you select 33 rpm, 45 rpm, or even 78 rpm with the twist of a knob.MM Phono Preamplifier Built-inThere is no obligation to use an outboard phono preamplifier with CS 518. This turntable comes with a built-in phono preamplifier. It can be either connected to the phono input or the line input at the amplifier. The built-in phono stage can switched on or off via a switch in the back. If you choose to, you can bypass the phono stage and use one of your own, or one built-into your amp or receiver of choice instead.Factory Installed Ortofon 2M Red CartridgeAn Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet phono cartridge is pre-mounted and precision-aligned. The 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth. It features a new, improved engine that provides an increased output of 5.5mV, an optimized sound reproduction, and a high level of sonic accuracy.

Get your exclusive copy now!Plinth:Aluminium / Solid MDFThe plinth is finished with real wood veneers, each unique unit is created individually. The critical components, such as motor, platter and arm are fixed to a 10mm thick aluminium base plate. The heavy top and base plates are connected to minimise vibration.Platter:Solid AluminiumThe heavy platter, weighing 2.7kg, is machined from a solid block of aluminium and refined with an anodised surface finish. The platter weight is exactly matched to the motor regulation in order to reduce wow and flutter to an absolute minimum.Tonearm:Twin Gimbal Design / Spring loaded tracking forceThe tonearm base and both gimbal elements are machined from solid aluminium. Precision pivot ball-bearings are used in conjunction with hardened steel spikes to ensure tightest tolerances within the tonearm assembly over a long lifetime. The tracking force is independent of gravity and adjusted with a torsion spring.Drive:Direct-driveThe drive unit is engineered and made in Germany. Its regulation is specifically designed for high-end audio application, placing emphasis on stability and smooth running, without quick start up times or high torque.

Dual direct drive concepts have been synonymous with outstanding durability and quality for decades.

Fully Automatic Hifi-Turntable The fully automatic function of the CS 429 provides maximum ease of use. The tonearm automatically lifts, shifts across and drops with the push of a button. Simply place the vinyl record on the platter and push the start button. The CS 429 has a fully adjustable tonearm. This provides the option to change the pickup in the future and to alter the trackingforce and anti-scating accordingly. The internal rubber damping construction decouples the tonearm and platter from external vibrations. This very quiet platform pro-vides an excellent sound performance combined with precise, optical speed control.

Dual presents the new CS 465. Completely new construction approaches and materials develope a new sound performance and lift the turntable to a new level. Here the new Dual E(asy)motion tonearm wire is used. In combination with the improved bearing it has less friction and a nearly unresistant movement. Thereby the record could be scanned much better. Also the geometry of the tonearm was refined. The result is a new sound experience – the sound is more “bright” and more balanced. The solid wood chassis, made of MDF (available in black structure, cherry wood or high gloss black) absorbs all kind of vibrations and impact noise, which could interfere from outside. The whole automatic mechanism, the tonearm and the platter are mounted on a floating subchassis and are uncoupled from the rest of the chassis. For the best speed accuracy the newly developed speed control is responsible. The vibration damped aluminium platter is driven by a high precission flat belt. Included in the delivery is the MM cartridge Ortofon 2M Red.

A new development, the Dual E (asy) motion Wire tone arm internal wiring, provides a resistance-free tracking of the tonearm and a brighter sound. The gimbal of the tonearm was also completely redesigned. The massless contact force adjustment is made by a high-precision torsion spring. The torsion-resistant and detachable tonearm head is made of carbon-fiber, suitable for pickups with 1/2 “(13mm) attachment. To drive the plate, a DC motor with electronic speed control is used, which uses a ground flat belt, the vibration-damped aluminum Disc tray drives. Completely new here is the electronic speed monitoring, the synchronization has been improved even further, that benefits sound with an even better balance. The solid MDF wood console combined with a floating subchassis (tone arm, turntable and automatic are floating) absorbs all forms of vibration and impact sound. The completely redesigned console joins in the new development of the 458 and serves only one, to lift the sound performance clearly into higher spheres. Delivery includes MM cartridge Audio Technika AT-91E.

Luxuriously furnished, fully automatic turntable of high standard with three speeds (33, 45, 78 rpm). A solid heavy wooden console and a heavy platter in sandwich construction delivers outstanding absorbance of vibration and speed accuracy. Tone arm technology: Cardan tone arm with mass tracking force set by a high-precision torsion spring. Detachable, Torsional rigid carbon fiber headshell with 13mm (1/2-inch) fixing-holes. Adjustable tracking force and anti-skating. Chassis technology: Solid wooden chassis, floating sub chassis, heavy sandwich platter with additional damping mass ring for the highest fidelity sound. Drive technology: Belt drive with polished flat belt.  DC motor with electric speed control. Viscosity-damped arm lift. Automatic tone arm top-mounted device. Auto Stop with tone arm return. Playback option for archive records at 78 rpm. Supplied with magnetic OMB 10 cartridge.
