Hello everyone!

Sorry that Im writting in English but I can't speak in German.
I would like to ask you about your opinion about Dual CS 621 and 704. I have opportunity to purchase one in perfect condition in beautiful wooden frame but I don't know how that turntables sound? Which one is better? Are they good machines or they're not? I already have one Dual machine 714q and it sounds just great.

Thank you in advance and best regards

Hello hvps,

writing in English is no problem at all since many users are quiete fluent in this language. Concerning your question:
Both turntables are beautifully crafted and sounding likewise, with a small advantage going to the 704, as it can be counted to the uppermost class, while the 621 belongs "only" to the upper middle-class.
They definitly deserve upper class pickup-systems, which of course must be matched to the (as far as I remember) pretty light-weighted tone arm.

greetings
Max

hvps: Both models are very decent hifi turntables one can be happy with. However, the 621 is fully automatic, while the 704 is only semi automatic - but the latter has the better drive (EDS900 > EDS500), came with the better stock cartridge (Shure V15III > Dual/AT DMS240E) and its arm additionally offers height adjustment (so one can experiment with different VTA settings...).

hi guys
thank you for help and your useful informations. Despite the fact that the 704 would be probably better choice I decided to purchase cs 621. As I sad in my previous post I am owner of beautifuly sounding 741q so I thought I try something new. 704 is probably comparable to 741q or just simply descended from the same series. once again thank you
