To the advent of the era of CD receiver? Meridian has emerged since the Arcam Solo Linn Classik the normal level of the new was to increase quality. Marantz also joined in here. M-CR502 features a simple, but these days the music tailored to the 3 to put the appropriate specifications of the finished product is a CD receiver.

Original design

Once the design is from the original. YAMAHA existing products or a classic Denon mini or micro
This product is a component, while the appearance is similar to Apple's Apple TV offers. The identity of processed edges ringing Marantz comes to mind, but the overall design of the Apple TV. However, the tops of the black hole before the deadline for articles Los easy.

Given the source and the apparent lack of star rating, this could be a review from the Korean edition of the magazine.

Not in the office at the mo and don't have a November issue to hand, but will ask someone to check.

As Andrew says, this appears to be a review from one of our foreign language editions, not the UK magazine. It won't therefore have a star rating, and I don't think it's a model we've tested in the UK, but I will check.

Out of interest, and in case I decide to take up Korean night classes, why don't the foreign editions carry ratings ?

 

[Andrew Everard]

They do on products we've tested, but not on locally-available products they've tested themselves.

Thank you guys, looking forward to hear from you.

Andrew Everard:They do on products we've tested, but not on locally-available products they've tested themselves.

Does that mean you don't trust them?

Or do they operate like a franchise rather than an exact, foreign-language, edition of the magazine?

Neither of the above.

They choose which reviews to publish, based on local market conditions and with strong guidance from our Technical Editor, who makes Gordon Brown look apathetic when it comes to control-freakery.

If they want to review locally-available equipment they can, after a training program typically involving visits by us to them and them to our listening rooms here in Teddington.

But we don't let them put star ratings on them as it'd be quite possible for some dealers/distributors elsewhere in the world to put the local star rating on a product and carry it around the world - and our brand and star ratings are things we'd rather have control over, thank you.
