About this deal

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.

Every person on our premises before during or after the sale shall be deemed to be there at their own risk and with notice of the condition of the premises and their contents. Such persons shall have no claim against us in respect of any injury sustained or any accident which may occur from any cause whatsoever save for injury or death caused by our negligence or otherwise where such liability cannot be excluded by law. Reserves and commissions given by telephone are accepted at the sender’s risk and must be confirmed in writing before the date of sale. Any estimates provided in respect of a Lot are also only an expression of our opinion of the range where we think the Hammer Price is likely to fall. It is not an estimate of value and should not be relied on as such or as a reliable prediction of the Hammer Price. Any estimate should be assumed to exclude any VAT or Buyer Premium. 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. Since then, compact systems have not found much favour here. Big systems rule the roost. However, in the UK and in Europe there has always been keen competition for small and compact systems that sound good. This may well be due to the size of their listening rooms (and bedrooms) which are often quite compact as compared to ours.

Conclusion

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. The CD II player is also a fine candidate for comment, whether through the optical cable or the RCA outs. It is a dead simple player. Instead of a drawer or tray it has a slot feed that grabs the CD and pulls it into the player and then registers it and begins play. I generally prefer slot loading devices to trays. Fjernbetjeningen til Tangent CD ll passer også til Ampster BT ll og Tuner ll. Så har du alle tre del-komponenter på hylden ender du faktisk med tre lige gode fjernbetjeninger til anlægget – dem kan du placere på strategiske steder i rummet, så du aldrig er lang fra en fjernbetjening.

Much as Tangent would like you to go CD, the true calling of that input is for two rather more modern roles. The first is that the Ampster is a fine partner to boost the sound of a flatscreen TV - and one that comes in at price more in keeping with the outrageous bargains that seem to crop up routinely in the world of soundbars. That inbuilt ability to work out of sight allows the Tangent to be hidden away so you can have a nice clean install of the TV and a pair of speakers and, potentially, very smart it will look too. The small matter of the Masterchef final was entrusted to the Tangent and the Polks and a very fine job they did too. Our sales are usually of second-hand goods sold at a public auction (since they include the opportunity to attend the sale) and therefore are excluded from the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (“the CRA”). However, should the CRA apply to any sale (for new products or an auction where you cannot attend the sale), and if you are a consumer (acting wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession), then we will give effect to your statutory rights. The Buyer shall be responsible for any loss of or damage to any item on our premises caused by the Buyer or by any agent or employee of the Buyer or any independent contractor engaged by the Buyer to inspect or transport any item to or from our premises, and the Buyer shall indemnify us for any loss or damage caused thereby. The Buyer or their agent or independent contractor shall comply with any directions we may give as to the safe removal of any Goods and to ensure that proper care is taken of the Premises and other Goods held thereon. 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. For the purposes of consumer rights, all persons who are Bidders for or Buyers of pallets of Goods are traders since pallets are not of use to consumers but are intended for resale or parts/scrap/materials/spares, making them a sale in the course of the business of the Buyer.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. Compact systems have not been wildly popular in North America, but times are changing. With more people now in downtown condos and other small living spaces (mom and dad’s basement) the need for compact systems may be rising. Indeed, some people are now downsizing their large systems and are quite happy to ditch the complexity. A good example of a simple decluttering strategy can be found in a DALI Oberon 5 based system we wrote about recently, here.
