A smooth ride for your vinyl Dual's well-built, value-packed CS 518 turntable can help you get great sound from your vinyl collection. Like its sibling 'tables in the CS line, it features a solid MDF plinth, heavy die-cast aluminum platter, and stabilizing feet. It also has a straight aluminum tonearm with a precision pivot ball-bearing and twin-gimbal design for an exceptionally smooth reading of your favorite discs. It plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm records. The included Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is time-tested favorite for its balanced performance and sonic accuracy. And the CS 518's switchable built-in phono preamp lets you connect to pretty much any sound system. Listening notes from former Crutchfield copywriter Eric A. "I had a fairly small workspace for several years. I got a new desk in 2021 that provided me nearly three times the space, and I hatched a plan to add a turntable listening station, so I can enjoy my best vinyl while I'm working. I had an opportunity to demo the CS 518, so I placed it on my desk, along with a Cambridge Duo preamp. I plug my headphones into the Duo's headphone amp, so I can listen privately without disturbing my coworkers." "This 'table has been a real pleasure to use. It may seem like a small thing, but I like the easily accessible rotary knob for powering up and changing speed. The included cartridge lives up to its billing — my old familiar albums sounded more spacious and detailed with the 2M Red reading the grooves. This was also my first experience with the twin-gimbal tonearm design, and there were times when I could tell it was helping the stylus track better on some of my older, slightly warped vinyl treasures." "The CS 518 sits in a sweet spot of strong performance and relatively affordable cost. And it looks darn good on my desk, where it can be seen and admired by my music-loving peers." About Dual turntables Dual is a legendary name in consumer electronics. The company started in Germany in 1907 and they introduced their signature "dual-motor" for powering gramophones in 1927. The dual-motor was so popular, it just made sense to call the company Dual from then on. They've been through some changes in the century-plus since the company was founded, but they're still headquartered in Germany, and they've continued to build on their reputation as a first-rate turntable manufacturer.
