How to Choose a CD Player for Your Home Audio System

Making a good investment when it comes to hi-fi systems is a huge concern for many people. When you get a home audio system, you probably want something that won't need replacing for many years to come. Technics is one of the brands that you should give a try when looking around for an audio system. Technics have great stereo sound systems starting from single CD players to multiple disc changers among other features.

What features should I consider?

• Speakers - Speakers will dictate the sound quality of your home theater system. When considering the speakers, you should start by looking at your needs. Do you like your music loud, moderate or at low volume? What is your sound preference, stereo or surround quality? You should also consider the room where you will place the speakers. Check if the speakers will blend in with the room decor. Large rooms will need more powerful speakers than smaller rooms.
• Radio tuner - Apart from playing your music collection, the system should allow you to listen to radio broadcasts from your favorite channels. An AM/FM tuner is a common feature on vintage and modern home theatre systems. Modern systems have a digital tuner for digital radio.
• CD player - A dedicated music system could include a player that can run all the different CD formats. Home theater systems should include a DVD player as well. Keeping Blu-ray discs in your library means that you should look for a system that plays the format.
• Bluetooth - With a Bluetooth connection, you can play music and videos from other compatible devices, such as your phone, tablet, or computer. Bluetooth comes in handy where you need to stream from the internet, while the home theatre does not offer such a connection.
• Wi-Fi - A Wi-Fi-enabled device offers wireless connection to the Internet service. You can link to a streaming service and play your favorite music, movies, and TV programs.
• USB and Micro-SD ports - When you store much of your music in USB flash drives and Micro-SD cards, consider going for an entertainment system that includes the connection ports.
• HDMI - Are you planning to connect the unit to your smart TV? An HDMI connection should form part of your checklist in such cases. HDMI uses one cable to carry audio and video signals. You will have to settle for the AV connection if you plan to choose a vintage player.

What are my buying options?

• All-in-one systems - A complete unit is a great idea when you do not want to potter about with finding suitable speakers, amplifiers, and other components. An all-in-one Technics home theater or hi-fi system offers an easy setup and great quality sound.
• Separate systems - Buying separate units can help you meet different goals in your stereo system. You might choose your own set up of speakers, subwoofer, and amplifier for your Technics mini hi-fi system. Technics has different classes of speakers that you can buy as separate units.
