The platter is made from vibration damped aluminum, and is designed to be used with the supplied antistatic felt mat.
The CS 455-1 doesn’t use the more typical AC synchronous motor; a DC one is used instead.
The integrated tone arm has a metal arm tube, a detachable headshell to facilitate easier cartridge replacement, an adjustable counterweight, and dials to set the tracking weight (VTF) and bias (anti-skate).
There’s also a cueing lever to manually raise and lower the arm, the latter being damped. (The cueing lever works somewhat counter-intuitively, in that pushing it away from you lowers the cartridge rather than raising it; a minor point to be sure, and one to which one easily adapts.)
Finally, the CS 455-1 is available with either gold or silver coloured trim for the arm tube, platter, and plinth. The review sample had the gold trim, and rather fetching it looked!
With stereo L/R RCA audio outputs, you can enjoy your records with high-quality sound.
Whether you're a seasoned vinyl collector or just getting into the hobby,
this Dual Electronics turntable is sure to impress.
