Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
CS429 is a black, fully automatic belt-drive turntable supplied with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. Place a record on the platter and press start for automatic tonearm positioning. Its statically balanced tonearm offers 0–4 g stylus-pressure adjustment and adjustable anti-skating, with a stated cartridge-weight range of 5–9 g. Optical speed control and vibration dampers in the housing are used to maintain consistent platter speed and decouple the tonearm and platter from external vibration. It plays 33, 45, and 78 RPM records.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Playing 33, 45, or 78 RPM records with start-button operation and automatic tonearm movement.
- Setting tracking force and anti-skating for cartridges inside the stated 5–9 g weight range.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Users who need a digital output; the CS429 specification lists none.
