Dual CS 418 High Fidelity + Ortofon 2M BLUE Hi-Fi Turntable

The chief and best German engineer of the DUAL brand, Mr. Alfred Langer, worked on the completely new CS series for over 3 years. The result is top models.

The emphasis on the high accuracy of the parts is a feature of the entire range of CS DUAL turntables. This also applies to the basic model of the manual strap turntable with the designation CS 418, which uses the same platform as the higher models in the product line, differing only in the simpler attachment of the strap.
 
The equipment includes a possible choice of transmissions, namely a reference between MM transmissions of the lower middle class, ORTOFON 2M RED or a reference between MM transmissions of the middle class, ORTOFON 2M BLUE and a switchable MM phono preamplifier.

The SK 418 is not only attractive because it has excellent value for money, but also offers an excellent and convincingly balanced sound experience supported by a 5-year warranty for long-term satisfied ownership.

The result of the synergy of all elements is an audiophile gramophone device for demanding listeners with a clean design, quality components and a very good price. It will be difficult to find a competitor on the market who would match this model in a given price.

• Massive folded MDF construction with black vinyl veneer = strengthens the entire chassis and is elegant
• Anti-vibration base = increases the resistance of the unit to vibrations
• Elastomeric vibration absorber integrated inside the legs = absorbs the first vibrations
• Removable and adjustable plexiglass dust cover with metal hinge holders = prevents dust from settling in sensitive areas
• DUAL precision die-cast aluminum weighing almost 1kg = provides smooth rotation and greater inertia
• Heavy and 2.5 mm thick rubber slipmat DUAL = perfectly dampens unwanted resonances
• Top plate bearing manufactured according to the old DUAL method = ensures completely smooth running
• DUAL exclusive hardened steel spindle in a brass case = allows the use of a flap weighing up to 500g
• DUAL statically balanced straight arm with Ball-bearing grip = makes great use of the carrying potential
• Damped hanger jack = gently places the carrier on a vinyl record
• Adjustable pressing force - Dynamic Anti-Skating = at each point of the board engages as it should
• Removable headshell for easy handling
• ORTOFON 2M BLUE laptop
• DC silent DC servomotor with low vibration and high torque
