Reports[edit]
- Stereoplay 11/1993 comparison test: rank and name. Top Class I, Reference.
- Stereo 2/1994 Comparative test: Stereo recommendation. Excellent, 3 stars. "Quote: Above all, the CT-S 920 sounds so outrageously natural that you have to look closely to see whether it's switched to source or to tape."
- Audio 5/1994 Comparison test: profile. Very good, top class, 4 ears, sound 80 points.
- Stereo 7/1994 Comparison test with Pioneer CT-95: "Quote: We compared the CT-95 with the CT-920 and found that both units sound equally good - the differences are within the manufacturing tolerances.", names the 920 as an alternative for the price conscious, see link.
