Excerpt from User manual: Dual CS-721 in walnut
Last top model with medium-weight (~ 12gr) tonearm before the ULM era.
Thanks to this and the convenient VTA adjustment option, very flexible in the selection of pickups.
Although already equipped with a good V15 /III L-M from the factory, it is worth using much better TAs. As with some other dual models, the arm has a very good "ratio"
From today's point of view, the 721 lacks above all a quartz locking of the drive servo control and a housing equivalent to the device in quality.
The above prices are probably former list prices, because already in the Hifi Yearbook 9 the 721 is numbered with V15 with 728 DM.
At the beginning of the eighties, the 721s from the newer production (those with pimple plates) went away for ~ 500 DM and were sold off in batches as discontinued models.
Meanwhile, the 721 tends to have lover prices in the used market.
Unlike many Japanese direct drives, the servo control of the motor is not based on a special PLL chip, which is now Unobtanium.
