New, Very Interesting CD Transport

@magnuman :You're absolutely right.  However, I believe that TEAC made the VRDS clamping transport for Esoteric - just messing with you. Cheers. 

tannoy56,

Teac owns Esoteric lol

tannoy56,

and they still do make it, esoteric still uses updated versions of the VRDS transport I've got the esoteric P10 from the '90s and it's still outperforms most of the transports out there to this day and it's built like a tank.

You may want to look into Jay's-Audio CDT transports.  Very well made and reasonably priced (in my opinion) for what you get.  Pretty flexible outputs and sound great.  They have 2 units available, and both got terrific reviews.!  

Just wondering how would this compare to alternatives out there in that price range. Say $1,000 (plus / minus $500). Audiolab (6000, 7000, 9000 CDTs), Cambridge.... what else ?
