About this model

The Dual CS 522 is a belt-drive turntable from the early 1980s (1980-81), built around a 16-pole synchronous motor and precision flat belt driving a 304mm, 1.0kg non-magnetic platter. It runs at both 33.33 and 45 rpm with a 6% pitch control range, and delivers impressively low wow and flutter figures of 0.04-0.05% WRMS alongside a rumble rating of 70dB. The tonearm is an ultra-low mass tubular aluminium design mounted on a four-point gimbal bearing with an effective length of 221mm. A suspended floating chassis with double spring-balanced damping isolates the playback system from external vibration, and an automatic START-STOP function handles arm return at the end of a record.

A great opportunity to own a Dual CS522 at this price point.
