The Shanling CD-T2000 CD player is one of the best we have heard at its price point. Unbelievable value for money, excellent performance and fabulous aesthetics that make for an eyecatching piece of art in any room.

The predecessor (the legendary CD-T100) of this latest model had great reviews and the valves gave it an utterly exceptional midband presence with uncanny transparency. The new model retains this quality but has improved the bass to the point where the tonal balance is faultless. Music flows effortlessly and with a sense of naturalness and speed not found on solid state models (which have an electronic graininess when compared).

Reviews

"This is an unusually good player – one that sounds as good as it looks. It delivers a smooth, natural, well-balanced sound that lets you hear the music as it was originally recorded. Considering our enthusiasm for the SACD player, the prospect of a player that could make CDs sound almost as good as SACDs might still prove too much to resist. And anyway, the thought of going back to something ‘inferior’ once the review period was over was just too depressing to contemplate. Hearty recommendation, as I think you’d agree."
