Dual CS 418 (Black)
Turntable
£499
”It’s an entertaining listen – one that communicates the feel and emotion of the music well.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Just the basics – done to a high standard
The Dual CS 418 has a basic set of features but is engineered for top quality sound. Rather than plastic, Dual uses folded MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) construction for a rigid plinth. Combined with the vibration absorbing feet, this reduces distortion levels to a minimum, letting you hear a more natural, less coloured sound.
High quality, adjustable tonearm
Using aluminium constriction and ball-bearing movement, the CS 418’s tonearm is built to the same high standard as the rest of the deck. The rigid tonearm design means you get precise tracking, letting the cartridge do its job as effectively as possible. For future upgrades in cartridge, the tonearm has adjustable tracking force and anti-skating, making it highly versatile for all cartridge types.
Ortofon 2M Red cartridge included
Matching the quality of the deck and tonearm, the Dual CS 418 is supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Usually priced at around £100 on its own, this top quality cartridge ensures a high standard of connection with your records. The highly polished, tipped elliptical diamond gives excellent tracking without causing excessive wear to your vinyl.
Connect to any AUX input – with built-in phono pre-amp
Dual makes it easy to connect the CS 418 to your existing system. A built-in phono pre-amp means you don't have to have a hi-fi with a phono pre-amp built-in - any AUX input will work fine.
Three speed playback – including 78rpm
As well as 33/45 speed selection, the Dual CS 418 also has 78rpm speed setting. Simply change the stylus or cartridge head for a 78 compatible stylus and playback your old 78 discs. To make this easier, the tonearm is fitted with a detachable headshell, so it’s simply a case of unscrewing one headshell and screwing on the next.
Get a great sound, from all your records, with the Dual CS 418.

Quality turntable for my budget and needs
Purchased yesterday lunchtime after good guidance from Olivia at Cambridge store. Delivered lunchtime today and up and running this afternoon. Built in pre amp enabled me to connect straight away with my old / classic Bose 5 system. Sound pick up very good and very full sounds from my tiny Bose cube speakers. Perhaps not pure HiFi but it rocks.

Brilliant advice, great product
I bought a Dual turntable after great advice and a bespoke demonstration alongside other products. I’m delighted with the choice. Richer Sounds have again been excellent - thank you

I bought this a week ago to replace an ancient dual CS 505 and couldn't be more pleased. Fantastic turntable.
Thank you to James in particular from the Southampton store for pointing me in the right direction. Great service
