  TESTED: HTR-1000CD, AZURE S-40 v.2, Blue-16
  VERY GOOD (HIGH CLASS) 
  
  

  WELL COMBINED

  Praxis
  "Unpacking and setting up is very simple, only the loudspeakers have to be wired; suitable speaker cables in a surprisingly good quality are already included in the package. The TAGA combo plays at a remarkably high level, thanks to small-sized Azure S-40, which deliver an amazingly homogeneous sound, resolving sound details in a scrupulous way and shine with convincing spatiality. The TAGA combo is able to perform quite dynamically with the help of a powerful CD-receiver and loudspeakers which are quite strong too – the small combo brings real fun!"

  Conclusion
  "If you listen to CDs as well as to radio, and sometimes use your smartphone as a music player, the Taga HTR-1000CD will serve very well. Together with small, strongly sounding Taga Azure S-40 bookshelf speakers, this duo is a true winning team and costs around 700 Euros in the package with a set of speaker cables - a real price hit!"

  

  I recommend it with pleasure and conviction.

  Listening impressions

  "…a listener receives sound lively and crisp, powerful in its dimension, cultural in perception, put together in the space. The sound is slightly sweet (thanks to the vacuum tubes in the preamplifier stage), and little heated to a temperature close to 37 degrees Celsius (which is a tad higher than the physiological human 36.6 deg. C.). However as the whole the sound is linear and juicy and is characterized by both high dynamics and energy. The trebles are smooth and silky, pleasantly sweetened, the mids are surprisingly dense and varied (as for the Taga Harmony price level), while the low frequencies are nicely extended and strong… 

  …The whole sound is revealed as effective, melodic and substantial, but you do not feel exaggeration or cheapness in it… 

  Conclusion

  If someone is looking for a small-sized budget receiver with huge capabilities and the fetching sound with its culture and melodiousness, it does not have to look far. Taga Harmony HTR-1000CD will provide all these with a vengeance. Because this baby does not only offer multi-functionality (CD player, vacuum tube preamplifier, Bluetooth receiver, analog and digital DAB+ tuner, USB input for external memory, two analog inputs ...) but also a full-sized and palpable sound with pure hi-fi chic…"
    

  

  

  “An efficient amp and two low-power double triodes in the preamp stage, provide a tube-like feeling. The dynamics and bass on a quite decent level with a good control... Easy to use and functional. The combination of end transistors with a tube preamp gave an interesting sonic effect.”
