Was macht den Dual Primus Maximus zum Referenzmodell?

Ein aus dem Vollen gefräster, perlgestrahlter und eloxierter Alu-Plattenteller, ein vollkardanischer Präzisions-Tonarm mit masseloser Auflagekraft-Einstellung, werkseitig montiertes Ortofon Quintet Bronze und eine individuell ausgewählte Holzzarge auf einer 10-mm-Aluplattform.

Kann ich die Zarge des Primus Maximus mitgestalten?

Ja, die Holzkonsole wird individuell ausgewählt und ist Teil der Sonderanfertigung – jedes Exemplar entsteht erst auf Bestellung. Sprich mit uns über die verfügbaren Furniere.

Wie lange dauert die Lieferung des Primus Maximus?

Laut Preisliste unseres Importeurs Sacom AG ca. 6 Wochen ab Bestellung, da jedes Gerät individuell gefertigt wird. Die Serie ist zudem auf 100 Stück limitiert.

Für wen lohnt sich der Primus Maximus nicht?

Für alle, die kurzfristig ein Laufwerk ab Lager suchen oder kein Referenz-Budget einplanen. Wer auf ähnlichem technischen Niveau bleiben, aber nicht auf Sonderanfertigung warten will, findet im CS 718Q eine schnellere Alternative.

Warum den Dual Primus Maximus bei HD Zürisee kaufen?

Weil eine Sonderanfertigung dieser Preisklasse Beratung von Anfang an braucht – von der Zargenwahl bis zur Systemabstimmung. Wir begleiten dich durch den ganzen Bestellprozess, nicht erst ab Lieferung.

Quantity

The Dual Primus Maximus is the brand's manual reference turntable – direct drive, a platter machined from solid aluminium, and a factory-fitted Ortofon Quintet Bronze, built in a strictly limited run, made to order.

Why the Primus Maximus?

Here Dual shows what's possible beyond series production: a bead-blasted, anodised platter machined from solid, a precision tonearm with massless tracking-force adjustment, and a plinth built from a 10 mm aluminium platform with an individually chosen wood console instead of standard MDF. Every unit is built only after it's ordered – not a stock product.

What you hear and get

The Ortofon Quintet Bronze together with the extremely quiet direct drive (wow and flutter under ±0.04%) delivers a resolution and calm you won't find elsewhere in the Dual range. The heavy, perfectly balanced platter adds further stability to playback.

Who is the Primus Maximus for? (and who it isn't — straight talk)

For collectors and enthusiasts looking for an individual reference deck who accept the wait time of a made-to-order build. If you need a turntable faster, or would rather put your budget into speakers than a one-off, you're better served by the CS 718Q or CS 618Q.

Our verdict

A statement turntable in genuine workshop quality, not a series product – choosing it means deliberately buying into wait time and individuality.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the Dual Primus Maximus a reference model?

An aluminium platter machined from solid, bead-blasted and anodised, a fully gimbal-mounted precision tonearm with massless tracking-force adjustment, a factory-fitted Ortofon Quintet Bronze, and an individually chosen wood plinth on a 10 mm aluminium platform.

Can I help design the Primus Maximus's plinth?

Yes, the wood console is individually chosen and part of the made-to-order build – every unit is only made once ordered. Talk to us about the available veneers.

How long does delivery of the Primus Maximus take?

According to the price list of our importer Sacom AG, around 6 weeks from order, since every unit is individually built. The series is also limited to 100 units.

Who isn't the Primus Maximus worth it for?

For anyone looking for a turntable from stock at short notice, or without a reference-level budget in mind. If you want to stay at a similar technical level without waiting for a made-to-order build, the CS 718Q is a faster alternative.

Why buy the Dual Primus Maximus at HD Zürisee?

Because a made-to-order build in this price class needs advice from the very start – from choosing the plinth to matching the system. We accompany you through the whole ordering process, not just from delivery onward.

Pairs well with

The Primus Maximus pairs well with a high-quality phono preamp as well as an integrated amplifier or a pre/power amp combination at a matching level – we're happy to put together a fitting overall system for you.
