Additional information
The Dual CS 721 is a fully automatic direct-drive turntable that was manufactured in the late 1970s. It is known for its quiet operation, with independent drive test reports showing remarkably good results. The turntable supports playback speeds of 33.3 and 45 RPM, and it features an integrated tone control that allows users to adjust the sound during playback. It was designed to be a successor to the quietest turntable ever made, the electronic direct-drive Dual 701.
The Dual CS 721 is appreciated for its high-quality components, which show minimal wear even after prolonged use, allowing it to be used for many years.
It is considered one of the most iconic Dual models worldwide. The turntable's arm includes several new solutions, such as height adjustment to ensure it is parallel to the disc, which contributes to more precise playback.
