Designed for manual operation, the CS 418 gives listeners full control over their vinyl experience while maintaining the refined performance expected from a true Hi-Fi turntable.

The manual tonearm operation provides a more purist vinyl experience, while the carefully engineered belt-drive system ensures smooth, stable playback.

What we particularly like about the CS 418 is its balance between performance and simplicity. It’s easy to set up, beautifully built and delivers the warm, musical character that vinyl enthusiasts love. Pair it with a quality amplifier and speakers and you have a vinyl system capable of delivering hours of engaging listening.
