Taga Harmony TCD-70T – affordable tube CD player
Polish company Taga Harmony presented the Taga Harmony TCD-70T CD player, the output stage of which is implemented on two 6N2 tubes. Together with the reference chip of the ESS Technology SABRE ES9018 converter and a large-sized power supply based on a 100 W toroidal transformer, the model promises luxurious sound quality.
The Taga Harmony TCD-70T player is equipped with a Sunplus SPHE8104G IC optical disc drive, equipped with intelligent correction technology to improve the accuracy and stability of reading data from CDs. To ensure more stable playback, a buffer memory is used, and the Bessel filter ensures the preservation of phase linearity and the reduction of distortion in the entire frequency spectrum.
Taga Harmony TCD-70T offers a full set of connections, including RCA and XLR balanced analog output, optical and coaxial digital outputs, as well as a headphone jack (the output has an impedance of 32 Ohms and output power 30 mW) with the ability to adjust the volume.
The new product is offered in black and silver finishes at a suggested retail price of $700.
