CS 518 is a manual, belt-driven turntable featuring multi-speed functionality (33, 45 & 78rpm), inbuilt phono preamplifier, Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, and a gorgeous twin gimbal tonearm upgrade.

518 features a straight, statically balanced tonearm and replaceable head-shell supported by a highly detailed twin-gimbal design with spring-loaded anti-skate adjustment.

An inbuilt (switchable) phono preamplifier and rear RCA inputs ensure CS 518 will connect to a wide range of two-channel stereo amplifiers, surround sound receivers, and active loudspeakers.

And its MDF chassis is wrapped in a beautiful Walnut or Blackwood veneer, contrasted by an aluminium die-cast platter topped with a resonant-damping rubber mat.

Manual Matters

Fewer moving mechanical parts means cleaner, clearer sound quality. That’s why manual turntables (free from the additional parts within automatics) are considered an audiophile gold standard.
