Ich verkaufe meinen gut erhaltenen Dual CS 617 Q Plattenspieler, der optisch einen tollen Eindruck macht. Er ist mit einem hochwertigen Ortofon ULM 55 E Tonabnehmersystem ausgestattet.
KEIN VERSAND! NUR ABHOLUNG!
- Modell: Dual CS 617 Q
- Tonabnehmersystem: Ortofon ULM 55 E
- Nadel: Ortofon Stylus 5E oder 10E
- Aufpolierte Schutzhaube
Die Nadel klingt nach meinem Empfinden nach wie vor exzellent. Die Haube wurde von mir aufpoliert und weist lediglich normale, altersbedingte leichte Schlieren auf, jedoch keine tiefen Kratzer. Das Gerät wurde stets pfleglich behandelt.
Schreib mir gerne, falls du weitere Fragen zu diesem Klassiker hast.
Besichtigung und Probehören in Köln-Holweide möglich. Ich hab den Player nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen beschrieben. Für weitere Mängel übernehme ich keine Garantie. Privatverkauf, keine Rücknahme oder Rückkauf. Gekauft wie gesehen bzw. gehört!
€99 for a clean CS 617 Q is a solid buy, just shy of the going sweet spot. Recent used asking prices cluster roughly around €60–€135, with properly sorted examples often landing near €100–€135, so €99 sits in the fair-to-good zone rather than bargain-bin territory.
That makes sense for a model with a strong reputation: quartz-locked direct drive, easy automatic operation, and enough Dual-era charm to be a very listenable everyday deck. If it’s truly excellent, the value is in getting a well-kept, ready-to-play example without paying the premium some serviced listings ask; just confirm the arm moves smoothly, speed holds steady, and the cartridge/headshell parts are complete.
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.
