Verkaufe hier ein Dual TKO1b Abnehmersystem mit CDS 620 einer neuen DN 4 und einer sehr guten DN 45 Nadel.
War an einem Dual 1011 montiert.
Voll funktionstüchtig und guter Klang.
This is a buyer’s market for a loose Dual CDS 620 headshell/tonearm part, and €70 looks fair to a little strong rather than a steal. Comparable used mentions put CDS 620-related headshell parts around €35, while complete, cleaner examples with more context tend to land closer to €50–€65, so €70 sits at the top end of sensible unless it’s unusually complete or freshly serviced.
The appeal here is that Dual’s 1000-series cartridge/headshell hardware is very usable and increasingly niche, so a clean, original example can save a lot of hunting if you need one for a matching deck. If the listing includes the original shell, wiring, and an intact stylus/insert, that adds real value; if it’s just the bare arm shell with no consumables, the price should feel a bit less comfortable.

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.
