CD Transport

Just for the curious, here's some shots of the innards of the Teac 701T

I thought it would look like other CDTs out there with lots of empty real estate but boy, was I wrong. This looks like the real deal.

That’s the Teac transport or the player???

The Jays is a beautiful product but it’s huge and weighs almost 50 pounds. I couldn’t swing that. It’s definitely an issue for some. The CD2 weighs about 33 pounds which is no lightweight either. The TL5 is 18 pounds and the TL2N at about 26 pounds.  

I went back to double check and the only thing in English on those shots read: 701/701T so it must be the CDP and not the CDT. My bad.

I read on another site that the CDT uses two transformers and not three, like in the CDP. 

All the best,

No problem and appreciate the effort. TEAC has the engineering chops and experience. To get the CD tray mechanism/assembly right does involve a degree of complexity that alternative top loaders don’t require. Simplicity is  an advantage with regard to audio more often than not.
