Dual CS618 Turntable for $1250 with Free Shipping

Amazon is offering the Dual CS618 Direct-Drive Turntable with Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge for $1250, with free shipping.

This turntable features a precision tonearm, coreless direct-drive motor with double magnetic shielding, and a headshell system that allows quick cartridge swaps. The included Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge further enhances audio quality.

Compared to typical high-end turntables, this is a solid price for the features and quality offered. The deal is somewhat notable given the inclusion of a high-quality cartridge and free shipping, but similar models can sometimes be found at lower prices during sales or with discounts.

Given the current price and the value of included features, this is a good deal, but not a outstanding discount relative to previous pricing or market comparison.
