I have no personal knowledge, but someone I know who owned one told me the CS-5000 is an odd sounding table.

Odd in what way?
It was just a discussion about various Dual models, and he said the CS-5000 didn't stick around long and that a 506 clobbered it.
I fix several hundred Dual turntables every year and was floored by my first introduction to the CS-5000. The post retaining the platter support bearing is plastic, and most come here split. Much of the arm is plastic as well. The suspension is rubber dimples. The motor is a sealed-for-life [of the motor] unit. There are little pieces in the counterweight that fail. The list goes on and on.
Build quality is not even up to that of the cheapest 10" Dual made in the 1970s.
My own most-listened-to turntable is a Dual 1219. That model and the 1229[Q] , and the 1019 and 1009 [and its variants] can sound pretty darn good.
The Yamaha is a dream table.
