- Uses the classic Philips CDM-2/10 CD Transport and Philips TDA1541 DAC - this was the last time B&O sourced these from Philips
- Fantastic top-loading mechanism with a pop-up disc holder
- The only model of this style that is remote-controlable through a 7-pin DIN datalink
BeoGram CD3300 Compact Disc Player
The Beosystem 3300 was the first range of models in this line to include a compact disc player as an integral part of the system. Unlike the Beosystem 3000, which could use the matching Beogram CD X through the TP2 connection, the Beosystem 3300 had a socket specifically for a CD player with Datalink, and because of this the CD player could be operated by remote control.
Beogram CD 3300 itself was a variant of Beogram CDX 2. The two models differ technically only in the control panel, and even then the two versions were so similar that the same printed circuit board was used for both, the components fitted determine the model. The most obvious difference of course was that Beogram CD 3300 was fitted with Datalink, and so as well as a different control panel the signal lead was fitted with a 7 pin DIN plug instead of two RCA connectors. Other than in these details and differences in colours and trims, Beogram CD 3300 and CDX 2 can be considered as identical.
Beogram CD 3300 was withdrawn along with the rest of the 3300 system. The replacement, the Beogram CD 3500, was a very different machine. It had a far more compact chassis, allowing the cabinet to be made the same size as that of the matching Beocord 3500 cassette recorder. Additionally, the new mechanical arrangements made it possible to hang Beogram CD 3500 vertically on a wall, along with the rest of the system. Finally, although similar Philips chips were used, Beogram CD 3500 was not made by Philips but by B&O themselves.

It's a fact that not all compact disc players are ideal for all types of music. Some of them seem to highlight certain parts of the frequency range. But you can be confident that Bang & Olufsen's CD players never discriminate between rock and roll and classical. They smooth over faults in the CD very cleverly too, because not all compact discs are perfect. So it's just as well that Bang & Olufsen CD players are!
Beogram CD 3300 was part of Beosystem 3300 although it could have been used as a stand-alone item.

Postage/Carriage
charges:
You may have noticed that these has risen lately. The most recent increase is because Ebay are taking 10% of sellers' postal fees for their own profit. Before this, both Royal Mail and Hermes increased their charges, particularly for smaller items. I'm sorry that these have to be passed onto you.

About Qualitronics!
I'm running this business part-time whilst I raise my first child. My daughter Issy is 3 years old, the apple of my eye, my teacher and the beneficiary of your purchases. (She says THANK YOU VERY MUCH!). I endeavour to source the HIGHEST quality electronics, mostly B&O HiFi and will have owned most of the models in question at some time in my life. This gives me a real experience of the merits to share with you. I'm a time-served Sound Engineer and use my trained ear to check each audio item. It's not just sonics though, look out for the weird and wonderful – as long as it's well made!
