Reviews

In some ways, though, this rather misses the point. The CS 429 offers a reassurance that notionally more talented manual rivals cannot easily match. If automatic functionality is important to you, this is one of the best examples on the market and one that can hold its own against some precocious manual rivalsView Hi-FI Choice Review >>

… the CS 429 acquits itself pretty brilliantly. This is a turntable I wouldn’t mind having in my system. The automatic feature is welcome and works perfectly, and the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is a great match for the turntable… View SoundStage! Review
