Ich biete hier meinen treuen Dual CS 511 Plattenspieler an, der mich lange Zeit bei der Musikwiedergabe begleitet hat.
- Modell: Dual CS 511
- Neue Nadel wurde vor einiger Zeit mal eingesetzt
Das Gerät spielt Platten gut ab, allerdings hakt die Rückführung des Tonarmhebels gelegentlich. Optisch ist der Spieler in einem dem Alter entsprechenden Zustand. Falls du dein Setup erweitern möchtest, habe ich in meinen weiteren Anzeigen auch noch einen Verstärker und passende Boxen im Angebot.
Schreib mir gerne, wenn du Fragen hast.
Is €50 low enough to jump on this one? Yes — with recent comparable EUR listings centered at €63 and a 25th percentile of €56, this sits below the usual low end and reads as a genuine bargain rather than just a fair price.
That makes it worth a close look, because the Dual CS 511 is a respected, straightforward belt-drive deck that can deliver very solid musical performance when it’s healthy. The appeal here is value: if the platter starts cleanly, the speed is steady, and the arm and auto functions behave properly, you’re getting a well-regarded vintage turntable with real upside for not much money.
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.
