I had a 701t for a trial and it easily bested the Oppo’s I had previously. Only returned it because not sure I was going to use it that much as my streaming set up is pretty solid. Nice unit though.
Music Direct will give you a 60 day trial or 10% off with no return.
comparison between Teac 701t transport vs esoteric p-70 model or alike?
Hi,
thinking of replacing my loved esoteric p-70 vu and renewing my line.
the P70vu is one of the best Redbook transport ever made, yet I don’t need most of its features and the kss-151a pick-up laser is an issue... it’s starting to show its age and no skilled technician here to service such a unique cd transport player, nor any technical backup ( zero in customer relations for esoteric Teac ) from the manufacturing company ,I am afraid.
relying on Teac’s know-how I thought of their latest affordable transport.
has anyone tried their transport vs older esoteric transport or more expensive current models?
C.E.C is an option also btw. Jay’s audio is a mystery for me- just
recently while looking I heard about that brand.

@benzman thanks, i live in Israel so music direct is no option for me.... I will probably buy the teac out of cost-effective consideration. also, as much as every part of the chain is important- from a certain level the differences in transports are becoming more subtle. I hope that the level of the new affordable teac will be not that much far behind the premium one i used to have, and with the option to add external clock i think it will narrow the gap even more. i hope that the shortcuts and savings were mainly in the heavy box and multiple connections- i realy need only one good coax output.... |
@sgordoxyz Yes, the Jay line of transports looks very impressive. Yet it’s the old Philips Pro2 mechanism that worries me. I am pretty conservative when it comes to changing gear—I have enjoyed all the VRDS transports I have had and used , so I guess I have sort of "blind" faith in Teac transports. If I had a chance to audit one of Jay’s transports here, I would have gladly do it. |
