Emphasis on high component precision is a feature of the entire range of Dual products. This is the case for the entry model CS 418 which uses the same platform as the higher models in the product range. The Ortofon 2M Red pickup and a switchable MM-phono preamplifier are an integral part of this ready to run package. The CS 418 is not attractive just because it is excellent value for money but it also offers a superb and compelling balanced sound experience and a 5 year warranty for long term ownership.
