matthewpiano:I believe they are still in production and that they share some factory space and design with the cheaper Thorens decks. I certainly remember reading a review of a brand new CS505 model in another hi-fi mag 3 or 4 years ago and think that, at the same price as a Rega P3-24, they were taking the mickey.Over here the brand has been used on all sorts of bottom-end electronics in Asda as a result of a licence deal of some description.Not quite, MP. Dual are going strong in the Back Forest. The lower priced Thorens are re-badged Duals - they don't share factory space to my knowledge, it's Dual or the way.
