zero in customer relations for esoteric Teac ...
Your dealer should be able to help you resolve any issue with your Esoteric.
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.

@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. |
If it were me, I would get the Teac CD player with the DAC. Teac/Esoteric’s new DAC technology is exceptional and the VRDS 701 can serve as an excellent digital frontend. Under the hood, the Teac is almost identical to the Esoteric N-05XD Streamer/DAC which will be the same in the VRDS. The build quality is extremely high for the price point. |
When it comes to source i rather split " powers". Also i realy like my dac's sound signature. Over the years i felt more attached to the built quality of the jappanese companies rather than their taste in how music shpuld sound.. As a fact the P70 stood the test of time more than its D70 D/A converter sibling . But thats my personal belief and taste ofcourse. I do belive that Teac will deliver above average performance in the d/a zone. |
