What customers say
The Tangent CD II is overwhelmingly praised by budget audiophiles for its exceptional sound quality, delivering rich detail and surprising clarity that far exceeds expectations for its price point. Customers consistently celebrate its sonic performance as the defining feature. While the minimalist Danish design is appreciated, the primary trade-off involves the physical build. Some users note the unit feels lightweight, and the disc tray mechanism can occasionally seem slow or flimsy. Despite minor concerns regarding the tactile experience and occasional disc reading sensitivity, the core value proposition remains clear. This player successfully prioritizes high fidelity sound reproduction, making it a benchmark investment for listeners focused purely on audio enjoyment.
