Overview

Not a budget suitcase player, this Dual is a subchassis turntable with a gimbal tonearm and an automatic start and return. Press start and the arm cues itself, or run it by hand, and stream audio or control it over Bluetooth.

Automatic convenience on a properly isolated, damped deck is the strongest reason to buy. The listing is silent on the cartridge, built in phono preamp and supported speeds, which decide what else you need.

Who it's for

Living room listeners who value convenience and a damped platform fit this deck. Hobbyists who want full manual control over arm and cartridge setup may prefer a manual turntable.

Performance notes

The subchassis on rubber dampers isolates the platter and arm from footfalls and speaker vibration. Optical speed control monitors the motor to hold steady pitch. The gimbal bearing lets the arm track with low friction.
