About the CS 506

The Dual CS 506 is a high-quality belt-drive turntable manufactured by Dual in Germany between 1979 and 1980. It offers manual single-play operation with two speeds (33 1/3 and 45 RPM), a subchassis design, cue control, anti-skating, strobe light, and pitch control. Equipped with a Dual 8-pole (or 16-pole) synchronous motor and precision flat belt drive, it achieves low wow and flutter (0.04% WRMS) and rumble (70 dB weighted). The tonearm is a distortion-free Ultra Low Mass (ULM) type, 221 mm effective length, torsion-resistant tubular aluminum, supporting cartridges up to 6.5-10 grams with 0-3g tracking force. Original price was approximately $189 USD or 298 DM. Available in colors like agate-brown, agate-black, and walnut.
