    High-end record player with automatic lift and stop function
    The dual direct drive concepts have stood for outstanding durability and quality for decades. The CS 618 impresses with a quiet direct drive that keeps the platter speed precise and noiseless.

    The turntable's fully gimbal precision tonearm is further optimized by the Ortofon 2M Blue to offer outstanding sound quality. Discover even more precise and improved audio reproduction for a first-class listening experience.

    With an electronic limit switch for the motor and automatic lift at the end of the record, the CS 618Q offers the highest level of operating comfort for a manual turntable. In addition, there are the other comfort elements of the CS series. The stepless anti-skating can be easily adjusted using a rotary knob with a clear scale. The electronic adjustment of the three speeds is convenient using a rotary switch, while the appropriate pickup can be easily changed using the headshell.
