For decades, direct-drive turntables from Dual have been renowned for their quality and reliability. The rumble free direct-drive in the CS 618Q keeps the RPM totally stable, while operating without noise or vibration. The advanced twin gimbal precision tonearm is partnerd with an Ortofon 2M Blue pickup. The turntable comes with an auto-stop feature that includes an automatic tonearm lift to reduce wear and tear on the needle as it moves to the end of the record.
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.
