Reviews

• Device was the simplified successor of the Golden One. Technically and visually based on the CS 750, the only difference being the piano lacquer console and gold-plated metal parts. Overall, the design is simpler than that of the Golden One. The platter has no angled edge, the platter stabilizer is missing, the piano lacquer console has no recessed screw threads, the metal feet are also with vertical edge and no longer conical. The unit was only built in a relatively small number of pieces.
