Dual | Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

Dual turntables are available at Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, NY, your authorised Dual dealer serving Western New York and the United States. Founded in St. Georgen, Germany in 1907, Dual is one of the oldest and most respected turntable manufacturers in the world, pioneering the dual-motor system and establishing German precision engineering as the benchmark for reliable, musically engaging vinyl playback across more than a century of continuous development. Today, Dual Phono GmbH continues to manufacture turntables in Germany's Black Forest using traditional production lines, combining twin gimbal precision tonearm technology, direct drive and belt drive motor designs, and optical speed control into a lineup that spans fully automatic plug-and-play convenience through audiophile-grade direct drive performance. The Dual lineup at Vinyl Sound Buffalo spans the CS 329, CS 429, CS 529, CS 618Q, CS 718Q, and the Dual CS 529 with Bluetooth connectivity, covering every level from first turntable through serious analog listening systems.

Dual's CS 418 and CS 518 belt drive turntables earned What Hi-Fi? five-star ratings and established Dual's modern lineup as a viable alternative to established players from Rega, Pro-Ject, and Technics at their respective price points. The flagship Dual CS 618Q direct drive turntable received an extensive review from What Hi-Fi? magazine, which praised its detailed, composed, and balanced sound, easy operation, and auto-stop arm lift feature, while HiFi+ reviewer Ed Selley described the CS 618Q as supremely good at delivering a consistently engaging take on a wide spread of musical styles, all encased in a turntable that feels like it will last a very long time, winning Dual a whole new generation of enthusiastic converts. The CS 618Q features a factory-installed Ortofon 2M Blue moving magnet cartridge on a detachable headshell, switchable built-in MM phono stage, and a rumble-free direct drive motor system that maintains absolute RPM stability without noise or vibration.

Dual turntables are designed for both vinyl newcomers and experienced collectors. The CS 329 and CS 429 fully automatic models move the tonearm autonomously at the touch of a button, making them the most convenient introduction to vinyl playback available, while the CS 529 adds Bluetooth app control for wireless operation from any smartphone. The CS 618Q and CS 718Q direct drive models serve audiophiles who demand the speed stability and low noise floor of direct drive engineering combined with the convenience of automatic operation, competing directly with Technics SL-1500C, Rega Planar 1, and Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo while offering superior automation features and German build quality.
