Dual CS 418 Manual Turntable

Hazelwood Labs is a proud reseller of DUAL turntables, and the CS 418 is the most straightforward way to experience the quality that made us choose Dual as the foundation of our own builds. This model offers a fully manual setup — simple, solid, and free of the automatic features found in the CS 429 — while still delivering the same engineering standards and dependable performance we trust. If you want a no-nonsense, great-sounding turntable at a more accessible price point, the CS 418 is the perfect entry into the Dual family.
