Reviews
- In its day, the CS-510 was a very well-balanced and moderately priced unit of the budding top class.
- It has a reliable, smooth-running belt drive, fitted with the Dual CS 1249 motor, and the famously good Dual medium-heavy arm, which was factory-fitted with a Shure M95 E-D
- The CS 510 is devoid of any automatic function, except that the tonearm is lifted off at the end of the run-out groove, which keeps the internal mechanics to a minimum and makes it very easy to maintain
- Today used 510s are traded very cheaply. Mostly around 100€ for well preserved examples.
- The 510 has neither the prestige nor the functionality of the big 7s, but is hardly inferior to them in quality, which makes it a very affordable and high quality single player, which also brings the sonic qualities of expensive cartridges to develop
Current turntables from the Dual range can't hold a candle to this oldie, even if they look better.
