Check the listing for details. Dual CS 429 Fully Automatic 3-Speed Turntable With Built-in Phono Preamp Black. Color: Black, Condition: New. Listed at 799.00 USD. Dual CS 429 Fully Automatic 3-Speed Turntable With Built-in Phono Preamp BlackFully-Automatic Operation with Built-in Phono Preamp and Ortofon Phono CartridgeTaking us back to one of the best aspects of the "golden age" of hi-fi, the great-sounding Dual CS 429 turntable features fully automatic operation. It couldn't be any easier and more convenient to use. The tonearm automatically lifts, moves to the beginning of the LPs, drops gently, and begins to play your album – all with the simple push of a button. You only need to place the vinyl record on the platter and push "start" to begin listening to your favorite music. No cueing is necessary, unless you want to. The CS 429 even has a built-in phono preamplifier, along with an Ortofon 2M Red phono cartridge and a removable dust cover. Everything you need is included in order to start enjoying your record collection right away. No fuss, no muss, no extras to buy.Audiophile FeaturesDespite its "record player" functionality, the CS 429 has been skillfully designed with the needs of audiophiles in mind. The internal rubber damping construction decouples the tonearm and platter from external vibrations. The MDF construction with internal vibration absorber is complemented by an elastomer vibration absorber integrated inside the feet. This very quiet platform provides an excellent sonic performance combined with precise, optical speed control.The CS 429 boasts a fully adjustable, straight, statically balanced tonearm. This provides the option to change the phono cartridge in the future should you wish to upgrade and to alter the tracking force and anti-skating accordingly. The solid aluminum construction with ball-bearings contributes to the smooth and accurate tracking. The precise aluminum die-cast platter uses a heavy rubber mat for resonance damping along with a solid platter bearing with a hardened steel spindle in a brass bushing.Easy, Precise Speed ControlA turntable as easy to use as the CS 429 would never insist that you wrestle with belts to change speeds. Operation couldn't be simpler. The precise optical speed control lets you select 33 rpm, 45 rpm, or even 78 rpm with the twist of a knob.Built-in Phono PreamplifierThere is no obligation to use an outboard phono preamplifier with CS 429. This turntable comes with a built-in phono pre-amplifier. It can be either connected to the phono input or the line input at the amplifier. The built-in phono stage can switched on or off via a switch in the back. If you choose to, you can bypass the phono stage and use one of your own, or one built-into your amp or receiver of choice instead.Includes Ortofon 2M Red CartridgeAn Ortofon 2M Red moving magnet phono cartridge is pre-mounted and precision-aligned. The 2M Red is an all-purpose cartridge that delivers open, dynamic sound with a slight touch of warmth. It features a new, improved engine that provides an increased output of 5.5mV, an optimized sound reproduction, and a high level of sonic accuracy.England's What Hi-fi? magazine honored the Ortofon 2M Red by naming it as one of the ten "Best Cartridges 2020." According to the article, the 2M Red "puts in a great performance for the money. The midrange sounds full and expressive, especially vocals. Bass and treble also score well… It's simple to fit and align, and provides a more than enjoyable listening experience. Proof that quality hi-fi needn't cost the earth.”Overview Belt-drive turntable with fully automatic operation Push a button, play a record Auto or manual record cueing Speed settings: 33 / 45 / 78 Built-in MM phono stage (can be bypassed) Includes Ortofon 2M Red phono cartridge Aluminum platter with rubber mat Audiophile isolation features Dust cover included Plinth Solid MDF construction with internal vibration absorber Elastomer vibration absorber integrated inside the feet Removable dust cover Platter Precise aluminum die-cast Heavy rubber mat for resonance damping Solid platter bearing with a hardened steel spindle in a brass bushing Tonearm Straight, statically balanced All functions can be fully automatic or manual Solid aluminum construction with ball-bearings Adjustable tracking force and antiskating Drive DC- Motor / Belt Precise optical speed control Rubber mountings for vibration decoupling Precision cut belt for lower wow & flutter Specs: Wow & Flutter: < ±0,08 % (DIN WTD) Input Voltage: 100 (-10 %) VAC to 240 (+10 %) VAC Frequency: 50 / 60 Hz Output Voltage: 12 V DC Output Current: 2.0 A Power Consumption: 24 W Power Consumption at Idle: < 0.1 W Dimension (closed dust cover): 17.1" x 14.4" x 5.7" Dimension (open dust cover): D: 16.3" / H: 15.75" Weight: 13.67 lb.
