Initially, there were two grades available, and the range-topping Black was a firm favorite at What Hi-Fi? It was excellent; delivering a combination of detail and dynamics most rivals could not transcend.
Thirty years later there is the new Corus2. There is practically no DNA between the old and the new. The new one is based on Audio Technica technology and features that company’s VM dual magnet design (one per channel) rather than having a single magnet as used in most rivals.
