DUAL CS-701 turntable

# Dual 701 – Fully Restored Direct-Drive Turntable from the Golden Age of Hi-Fi The Dual 701 is one of the most significant and desirable turntables in German hi-fi history. Introduced in the early 1970s as Dual's first direct-drive model, it represented a major milestone in turntable engineering and remains highly respected among audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts to this day. The offered example has been fully restored in our workshop and remains in very attractive technical and cosmetic condition. Its legendary EDS-1000 direct-drive motor provides outstanding speed stability and exceptionally smooth operation. Even by modern standards, the 701 impresses with its precision, reliability and refined engineering. Sonically, the Dual 701 delivers a wonderfully balanced, natural and highly musical presentation. Vocals sound rich and lifelike, instruments possess convincing body and tonal color, and music flows with an effortless ease that many modern turntables only achieve at considerably higher price points. One of the great strengths of the 701 is its unique combination of German engineering excellence and relaxed musicality. The turntable is currently fitted with a high-quality Audio-Technica MM cartridge and is ready to enjoy immediately. Since cartridge selection has a significant influence on the final sound character, we are happy to provide personal advice when selecting the ideal cartridge for your listening preferences and music collection. Upon request, we also offer professional installation and precise alignment of your chosen MM or MC cartridge, including adjustment of tracking force, overhang and anti-skating settings. Whether playing jazz, classical music, singer-songwriter recordings or rock albums, the Dual 701 consistently delivers a deeply satisfying listening experience. A beautiful classic for anyone seeking the timeless charm of analog music reproduction. --- ## Technical Condition - fully restored - fully functional - direct-drive system inspected - automatic functions tested - speeds accurately adjusted - all functions tested --- ## Cosmetic Condition Very well-preserved condition with only minor signs of age and use. --- ## Scope of Delivery - Dual 701 turntable - high-quality Audio-Technica MM cartridge - dust cover - single adapter --- ## Notes - 1 year warranty - Margin taxation according to §25a UStG
