Nutube technology for authentic vinyl warmth

At the heart of the handytraxx tube is Korg’s Nutube vacuum tube, which adds warm, harmonic-rich tones to your music. This innovative technology emulates the classic sound of traditional vacuum tubes, bringing depth and clarity to your records. The built-in phono equalizer further enhances this sound, ensuring every track retains the natural richness and detail of vinyl. You can fine-tune the tonal balance with the TUBE control, making it easy to adjust harmonics to your preference. This combination of next-generation vacuum tube performance and precise equalisation ensures that each record sounds full, vibrant, and immersive.

Enjoy vinyl anywhere with portable design

The handytraxx tube’s portable design makes it perfect for music lovers who like to take their vinyl collection on the move. Its lightweight construction, combined with the option to power it via six AA batteries or an AC adapter, ensures it’s ready to deliver music in any setting. Built-in stereo speakers eliminate the need for external equipment, offering a simple and convenient way to enjoy music without extra setup. A headphone jack is also included for private listening. The sturdy dust cover protects the turntable and keeps it ready to play, whether at home, at a gathering, or even outdoors.

Precise playback with premium components

The handytraxx tube prioritises high-quality playback, combining durable components with smart design. The aluminium die-cast platter ensures smooth, stable rotation, which is essential for accurate sound reproduction. A belt-drive system, paired with software that monitors pitch and speed, keeps playback consistent and precise. Adjustable counterweights allow compatibility with various cartridges, so you can experiment with sound profiles if desired. These features ensure a reliable and detailed listening experience, bringing the best out of every record.

Digitise your vinyl collection with ease

The USB connectivity on the handytraxx tube makes it simple to convert your vinyl records into digital files. By connecting the player to a computer and using audio recording software, such as Audacity, you can save your favourite albums as digital tracks. This functionality is particularly useful for preserving rare or fragile records and for making your collection accessible on modern devices like smartphones and portable music players. It bridges the gap between vintage formats and contemporary convenience, allowing you to enjoy the timeless sound of vinyl wherever you go.
