Dual Electronics CS 718SB Manual 3-Speed Direct Drive Turntable (Satin Black)

The CS 718SB features Dual's Dynamic Tracking Force technology for increased tracking accuracy and reliability. During vertical movement of the tonearm, a spring maintains a nearly constant tracking force. The tonearm is balanced with its center of gravity at the pivot point, allowing the stylus to follow complex groove modulations more consistently. Spring-applied tracking force is gravity-independent, reducing the effect of an off-level turntable position on stylus pressure and lateral forces for more reliable playback. Exact winding geometry, guaranteed material thickness, and advanced heat treatment ensure long-term stability with a consistent force and maximum precision for superior analog performance.

The silent drive with brushless motor and ironless coils eliminates any cogging and vibrations. There is no noise transmitted to the turntable or tonearm. The durable motor concept without wearing parts, such as belts or carbon brushes, ensures reliable, long-term use. It is the drive concept for an undisturbed listening experience and the certainty that your turntable is designed for longevity and quality.

Dual turntables offer stepless adjustment using a rotary knob without predetermined increments. The easy-to-read scale serves as a guideline for quick and easy adjustment of the anti-skating force. An ingenious mechanism with a specially shaped spring ensures precise skating compensation over the entire playback range. Experience precise adjustment for optimum sound quality with this system.

The classic Dual tonearms are characterized by a twin gimbal bearing. The arrangement of the bearing points around the tonearm tube reduces tilting moments to an absolute minimum. The bearing is based on precision pivot ball bearings in combination with a precise machined tip in the rotation shaft. This design ensures virtually play-free movement and minimizes friction. Experience outstanding sound precision and stability thanks to this innovative technology

Thanks to the screw mechanism for the headshell and simple adjustment options for tracking force and anti-skating, changing the headshell takes less than a minute. Dual turntables make it easy to change cartridges without any readjustment. Your cartridge is mounted and adjusted correctly once, so that subsequent changes can be carried out effortlessly.
