The CS 514 typically came with a DMS 239 pickup cartridge and is noted for its reliability and good sound quality for an entry-level turntable. It has one output connection and no inputs. The original price was approximately 230 Deutsche Marks. This model is part of a series that includes other Dual turntables and related audio components.
