Only the cabinet changes: walnut veneer instead of black, a presence that blends far more discreetly into bright, wood-accented living rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear and get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically identical to the black version: clean cable sound via the 2M Red, everyday-friendly Bluetooth transmission with aptX HD for headphones or active speakers. Choosing the walnut look loses nothing — except the high-gloss appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the CS 529 BT Walnut suited for?

The classic RCA connection remains available alongside it, so you don't have to commit to one or the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I also connect the CS 529 BT the classic way, via cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Phono\/Line output via RCA works independently of Bluetooth, including the switchable phono preamp. Bluetooth is an additional option, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich cartridge does the CS 529 BT have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Ortofon 2M Red, factory-adjusted — the same one fitted in the CS 429. Bluetooth transmission inevitably compresses the signal somewhat; via cable, more fine detail is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho isn't the premium over the CS 429 worth it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wires everything permanently and would never use Bluetooth. Then you'll start out cheaper with the CS 429 for identical sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Dual CS 529 BT Walnut at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we show you how to sensibly combine Bluetooth and cable in the same system — streaming never has to be a must, your CD or vinyl collection keeps working independently of it.
