Dual TurntablesCS618 Direct Drive Turntable with Auto Stop, Lift featuring an Ortofon Blue Cartridge Gloss Black
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around direct drive, the CS618 keeps vinyl playback straightforward while providing automatic protection at the end of a side: the motor stops and the tonearm lifts. Its 12-inch aluminum die-cast platter combines a hardened-steel spindle with a rubber mat, while the twin-gimbal tonearm arrives fitted with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge. A rotary control selects 33, 45, or 78 RPM, and stepless anti-skating adjustment allows more deliberate setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Vinyl listening through a system with either a phono input or a line input.
- Playing records at 33, 45, or 78 RPM with automatic end-of-record operation.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Systems that require a digital turntable output; this model has no digital output.
