Tangent CD II CD Player,Black

Product Information

It’s more straightforward in how it goes about its business – more clinical than musical – but it achieves a good degree of balance through the frequencies. The lush tones of Eden from Beale Street aren’t as emotive or grand as you’d like, but it’s still capable of sweeping you away with its detail. While it isn’t the heftiest of presentation, it never strikes me as being insubstantial either. You should buy the Tangent Ampster BT II if… Software developments have also created a more user-friendly operation particularly in multi-room environments or where commercial applications limit operation via the remote control. The Ampster BT II is a fairly easy piece of hi-fi to tame, with the choice of using the supplied remote or the volume/selector button on the unit itself. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 29th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) On its own it’s a receiver for your Bluetooth sources and can be hooked to any good-quality hi-fi speaker of your choice.

Digital Output: The Tangent CD Player II is equipped with a digital output, allowing effortless integration with other digital audio components for a seamless audio setup. Compact, stylish and sparkling-sounding, the Tangent CD II is the perfect CD player for enjoying your disc collection. 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.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.

Tangent’s CD II is a multi-format disc player that’s compatible with “all current CD formats” (including home made MP3 files) and with both digital optical and regular line-outputs. All three units are designed to enhance each other and can be controlled with one remote control. You might want to connect the system to Tangents X4 or X5 speakers and even an active Sub for an even bigger sound. Tangent Ampster BT II In the mid 1990s an array of mini-systems were still available in the shops. I lived in the UK for a couple of years during that period and if you went into a Dixon’s (something like Best Buy here), they were everywhere to be seen. the auto-play of cds as soon as you insert them means you can sit down without waiting for the disc to cue and then press the play button.

What is the Ampster BT II?

Since its launch in late 2018, the Ampster BT II has proven to be very popular. It’s a compact mini-stereo amplifier that can be used within a larger, modular hi-fi system if you include the CD II and Tuner II, both of which are available separately. The supplied remote control doesn’t just operate the CD player, it also controls a full tangent system, including amplifier and tuner – making the full Tangent system every bit as convenient as an all-in-one system. The second generation of Tangent’s Ampster BT amplifier offers streaming via Bluetooth or you can connect your device using an AUX cable. Digital and analogue line inputs, a sub-output and USB charging ports are also provided. Haven't set it up yet, but if all goes well my CXA60 and phono stage could be on the classifieds very soon! The only area where I'm thinking I will be disappointed is Spotify over Chromecast. On the CXA60 I was taking a optical connection to the amp and then using the cambridge dac instead of the basic dac within the chromecast. I presume the chromecast dac will be pants, but lets see how that goes.

I keep looking at them while shaking my head and saying ‘it cannot be’ as their dimensions are 5.5 X 7 X 9 inches – almost invisible. The first time I ever heard a Rogers LS3/5a, it was sitting on top of a Spendor BC3 (about a 50 liter cabinet). The sales guy doing the demo asked me which speaker was playing, and it was hard to know. I have the Spektor 1s sitting on top of my DALI Oberon 5s and it is hard to know which is playing. I am sitting two rooms away right now while I write this and they still sound pretty amazing. I also used a low-powered tube amp when I first set them up, my Unison Research ‘Simply Italy’, and it could drive them to ear splitting levels. From the first notes that issued forth I knew they were going to be amazing and I was frankly flabbergasted at how much good sound was issuing from these tiny boxes. Tangent’s CD player II is a multi-format digital CD player that’s compatible with all current CD formats. It has regular line-outputs plus digital optical outputs for connection to a higher quality or digital amp. It is also designed to produce lossless connectivity to any HI-FI system. Remote control The front panel is simple and uncluttered, with a row of LED indicators in the centre for Bluetooth, CD optical, tuner line-in and aux inputs. To the right of these is a dial for changing the volume or switching inputs.Unlike here in Canada, really small speakers are available in Europe from dozens of manufacturers, domestic and imported. If you drop in to any ‘Richer Sounds’ store in the UK you will find whole walls of them. Even their floor standers are compact by our standards. There is a surprising amount of headroom available from the 25W Class D output, but the performance starts to harden up a little at higher levels. The Bluetooth connection can also be momentarily upset by incoming phone notifications. The Ampster BT II is an amplifier with Bluetooth connectivity that delivers a powerful sound considering it’s small size. You can stream music from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 4.0 or connect it to wired devices via the digital and analogue line inputs. There is also a USB charging port for your smartphone/tablet. Due to the UK leaving the EU, some of our delivery partners have changed the way we ship to international and offshore destinations. This means that for the time being we are unable to ship items to these locations. The apollo is a fantastic player, noticeably better than the old blu ray that i was using temporally before this. Also fits perfectly inside my cabinet too.
