1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
This pair combines two black PLX-500 direct-drive turntables with two Ortofon Concorde MKII DJ cartridges for a two-deck vinyl rig. Each PLX-500 provides USB-B output, phono/line audio output, and 33 1/3, 45, or 78 rpm playback. The supplied DJ cartridges use spherical styli, specify a 3–5 g tracking-force range with 4 g recommended, and are described for scratching and backcueing. Their larger stylus cutouts help with needle placement in low light, while the textured grip and handle are replaceable.
Strong match
Who this is for

- Two-deck record playback with 33 1/3, 45, and 78 rpm speed options.
