    The perfect start to the high-end
    The CS 518, ideal for vinyl enthusiasts, impresses with a precise fully gimbal tonearm and the finest pivot ball bearings. The classic dual tonearm guides even the most demanding pickups precisely and safely for a first-class listening experience.

    With the Ortofon 2M Red pickup and switchable MM phono preamplifier, the CS 518 not only offers an outstanding price-performance ratio, but also a very balanced sound level.

    Ease of use is guaranteed with the characteristic features of the CS series. The stepless anti-skating can be easily adjusted using a rotary knob with a clear scale. The electronic adjustment of the three speeds is carried out conveniently using a rotary switch, while the appropriate pickup can be easily changed using the headshell.
