Tangent CD II CD Player,Black

Product Information

There are, of course, other very good compact speakers around, and certainly some quite highly regarded candidates by Proac and Harbeth that would challenge the little Spektors. But on a price versus performance basis there is really no contest. Invoking those brands in my comparisons should let the reader know that I take these baby DALIs seriously. You even get colour choices. Owners of the previous CD6006 UK Edition needn't rush to change their player but the Award-winning CD6007 is most definitely the right choice for first time buyers at this end of the market. The unified remote also controls the CD II player (yes, if you buy the Ampster and CD II, you’ll have two identical remotes) and all the standard buttons are there, including the eject button which pushes the CD out for removal. Fortunately the compact disc will not emerge until the eject button is pressed. This is unlike automobile CD players that often eject the CD after it has played and maybe not at an opportune moment.

Embrace the fusion of Danish ingenuity and audio engineering with Tangent's Hi-Fi II system. Since 1996, Tangent has been synonymous with both high sound quality and visually appealing design. Don't let your cherished CD collection gather dust; instead, relish the albums you love in style. Tangent's commitment to minimalistic, modern design ensures that your audio system not only sounds fantastic but also enhances your living space. Say goodbye to clunky, outdated CD systems and welcome a sleek, contemporary audio solution. Featuring an optical digital output, the Tuner II is ideal for use with an upgraded DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) or digital amp. Six presets are easily accessible via the remote control and give direct access to your favourite radio stations. DALI Spektor 1: Two way, Bass reflex, Rear ported, 59 to 26,000 Hz frequency range, 83 db sensitivity, 6 ohm impedence, cross-over frequency is 2100 Hz, Size is 237 X 140 X 195 mm, Weight 2.6 Kg., Recommended amplifier power 40-100 watts.

Conclusion

Like a number of such devices we’ve looked at though, the Tangent has the scope to do rather more than simply collate your analogue sources. With decoding and Bluetooth on board, this little device has the potential to be quite content to work on its own, so long as you have a mobile phone and a streaming services account. What’s more, the Ampster - as we shall come to - is offered at a very tempting price for this sort of thing. With DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) you get a whole new world of stations. Featuring popular digital only stations such as BBC 6 Music and 4 Extra, there’s a much wider choice of stations to listen to. Analogue FM is also standard and ideal for local stations or parts of the country where DAB reception is less easily accessible. RDS gives FM radio some of the features of DAB, including station naming and radio text.

Overall operation of the CD II player was smooth and consistent, and through both the optical output and the RCA outs the sound was a joy to hear. You really cannot ask for much more at this price level. Remote Control: Navigate your music library with ease and adjust settings from anywhere in the room with the included remote control, adding convenience to your listening experience. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) What should you consider before purchasing a CD player? It's worth taking into account factors like DAC functionality, ease of use, controls and of course audio performance when making your choice. Finally, as a test of flexibility, I dismantled the system and set it up again in my TV room where I ran the optical out from the TV into the Ampster. The results were as expected. The DALI/Tangent combo did a fine job as a 2.0 TV set up, and I could see lots of people integrating it into a modest media room installation, and adding a small powered subwoofer too.High-Quality Sound: The Tangent CD Player II is meticulously crafted with premium components and advanced digital technology, ensuring an unparalleled sound experience. From crystal-clear highs to deep, rich bass, it elevates your music to new heights.
