Dual CS 2110 Plattenspieler turntable vestax slipmat inkl. Funktioniert einwandfrei
The CS 2110 sits at the very entry point of Dual’s belt-drive line, but it still has the brand’s classic appeal and can be a perfectly sensible starter table. At €50, this looks like a good buy rather than a stretch: comparable used asks I found cluster around roughly €70–€90 before shipping, so this is clearly on the attractive side for a working example.
What makes it worthwhile is straightforward: you’re getting a simple, vintage Dual that can deliver decent plug-and-play vinyl duty without much fuss, especially if the arm, platter drive, and automation all behave properly. The main upside here is value, not collector cachet, so a clean cosmetic example with the dust cover and a known-good cartridge would be a nice grab; just make sure the auto-functions and speed stability are solid, since those are the parts that matter most on an older Dual.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Dual emerged from the Black Forest region of Germany in 1907, when brothers Christian and Joseph Steidinger began manufacturing clockwork and gramophone components in St. Georgen. The company adopted its now-iconic name in 1927 after pioneering dual-mode power supplies that allowed gramophones to operate from either mains electricity or mechanical wind-up mechanisms. This innovation marked the beginning of Dual's transition from component supplier to full-fledged audio manufacturer, establishing a foundation of engineering precision that would define the brand for decades.
Dual built its reputation primarily as a turntable specialist, becoming Europe's largest turntable manufacturer by the post-war era with over 3,000 employees across multiple factories. Beyond vinyl playback, the company expanded into cassette players, CD players, and broader consumer electronics throughout the 1970s and 1980s, demonstrating versatility across analog and digital formats. The company's focus on mechanical excellence and stable drive systems earned it recognition as a dependable, quality-focused manufacturer throughout its European heyday.
Today, Dual occupies a fragmented market position following corporate restructuring in the 1990s and subsequent ownership changes. The original German turntable line continues production in St. Georgen under Alfred Fehrenbacher GmbH, maintaining traditional manufacturing standards and appealing to vintage enthusiasts and collectors. Separately, Namsung Electronics markets Dual-branded consumer electronics in the Americas at accessible price points. The brand's legacy rests primarily on its classic turntables, which remain highly sought after by collectors and audiophiles valuing precision engineering and heritage craftsmanship.
