Practical differences

Highlighted cells show a lower reference price, support for more listed speeds, or the presence of a convenience feature. They are not an overall score.

There's a real gap here: £49 separates them, with the Dual CS 429 the pricier of the two.

The mechanics differ too: the Dual CS 429 is belt-drive, the Reloop Turn 5 is direct-drive. The Reloop Turn 5 gets instant start-up, rock-steady speed under load, and enough torque to nudge or backspin the record — the reason DJs and scratch decks are built this way.

The Dual CS 429 is fully automatic — press start and the arm cues itself and lifts at the end of the side — where the Reloop Turn 5 needs you to cue the arm by hand.

Bottom line: £49 separates these reference prices. That difference is factual; this specification comparison does not assign an overall winner.
