Fully-Automatic Operation With Built-In Phono Preamp And Ortofon Phono Cartridge
Taking us back to one of the best aspects of the "golden age" of hi-fi, the great-sounding Dual CS 429 turntable features fully automatic operation. It couldn't be any easier and more convenient to use. The tonearm automatically lifts, moves to the beginning of the LPs, drops gently, and begins to play your album – all with the simple push of a button. You only need to place the vinyl record on the platter and push "start" to begin listening to your favorite music. No cueing is necessary, unless you want to.
The CS 429 even has a built-in phono preamplifier, along with an Ortofon 2M Red phono cartridge and a removable dust cover. Everything you need is included in order to start enjoying your record collection right away. No fuss, no muss, no extras to buy.
Audiophile Features
Despite its "record player" functionality, the CS 429 has been skillfully designed with the needs of audiophiles in mind. The internal rubber damping construction decouples the tonearm and platter from external vibrations. The MDF construction with internal vibration absorber is complemented by an elastomer vibration absorber integrated inside the feet. This very quiet platform provides an excellent sonic performance combined with precise, optical speed control.
The CS 429 boasts a fully adjustable, straight, statically balanced tonearm. This provides 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 solid aluminum construction with ball-bearings contributes to the smooth and accurate tracking.
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.
