Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for hands-on vinyl playback, the black CS518 is a manual belt-drive turntable with 33, 45, and 78 RPM selection. Its twin-gimbal arm uses four pivot ball bearings, and an Ortofon 2M Red pickup comes fitted at the factory. The turntable can connect to either a line input or phono input, while its switchable MM phono preamp gives you a setup option within the unit. A die-cast aluminum platter, rubber mat, MDF plinth, and elastomer feet complete the design.

- Listening to records at 33, 45, or 78 RPM with manual operation.
