The June issue of Stereo Review describes a remarkable new turntable
from Dual - the CS515. This turntable incorporates an innovative
and startling concept for just $140 -- The arm is placed on the
LEFT side of the platter rather than the usual RIGHT hand side.

Naturally this requires that the stylus track "into" the oncoming 
groove rather than being dragged along by the groove. What does this
do for trackability? Well, the report states that this turntable
tracks warped records better than almost any other turntable seen.
Apparently Dual is onto something big! Most remarkably, the review
did not attribute this ability to the unusual construction.

Before getting too excited, I suggest that we not be too        negative
about this approach, but those with many warped records will    flip
over this turntable. The important thing is that we do not      over
react to this rash concept.
