Vinyl lovers know that half the joy of collecting records isn’t just in listening—it’s in the process of digging, spinning, and preserving. Korg’s new Handytraxx series takes that experience to the next level, reimagining the classic Vestax Handy Trax for today’s crate diggers, audiophiles, and DJs alike. Whether you’re after a simple way to spin records on the go, or looking for high-fidelity vinyl archiving, the Handytraxx lineup has something to offer.
Built with portability in mind, the Handytraxx Play is perfect for DJs and selectors who want to keep the vibe alive wherever they go. It’s equipped with a built-in crossfader, EQ filters, and looping capabilities, making it more than just a turntable—it’s a fully functional performance tool. Designed for both right and left-handed users, it’s a smart choice for those who need flexibility without compromising on features.
For those who prioritise sound quality above all else, the Handytraxx Tube takes things up a notch. Featuring an aluminum die-cast platter for stable playback and Korg’s Nutube vacuum tube technology, this model is all about warm, rich tones that breathe new life into your records. It’s a solid option for home listening sessions or serious collectors who want the best possible sound from their vinyl.
Then there’s the Handytraxx 1bit, aimed at those who want to preserve their collection in the highest quality possible. With its ability to digitize records in high-resolution 5.6 MHz, 1-bit DSD format, it’s an essential tool for archivists looking to future-proof their vinyl in stunning detail. Whether you’re sampling rare finds or simply want a pristine digital backup, this model delivers on all fronts.
The best part? If you’re in the UK, getting your hands on a Handytraxx is easier than you might think. UK-based retailers like Bop DJ, AV.com, and Music Matter are stocking the series, with prices starting at £399 for the Play, £699 for the Tube, and £999 for the 1bit.
In a world where vinyl culture is thriving, Korg’s Handytraxx series bridges the gap between nostalgia and innovation. Whether you’re a seasoned DJ, a dedicated collector, or just someone who loves the warmth of vinyl on the move, these portable turntables offer a fresh way to experience your music—anytime, anywhere.
