DUAL CS-505 vs CS-515 vs 714Q

[Jeanseb]

They all come with original cartridge and stylus. The 505 and 514 have new unused stylus.

The 505 and 515 are $100 CAD and the 714Q us at $150 CAD.

Which one would you go with?

Thanks,

I might go with the 714q. The others are ok but the Dual direct drive motor is nice.

However they all could have issues with replacing the cartridges. They use the proprietary Ulm cartridges. There were several versions of the 505 with some changes between models.

If the 714q has the full kit of accessories for using 1/2" mount cartridges I would go with it.

Hey. Thanks for the tips. I actually went with the 505 cause it was simpler, but it does.make.me.doubt my choice a bit. Although so far so good.
