Wadia 23 Cd player or Teac P2 Transport ?

Hi All,

I just purchased a Wadia 23 CD Player yesterday and today I have been offered a TEAC P2 CD Transport for a good price.

I purchased the Wadia largely as a transport as I already have a Musical Fidelity Trivista 21 DAC. Would the transport in the Teac be superior to the Wadia 23's transport? From what I understand this model of the Wadia uses the Pioneer Stable platter mechanism, where the Teac P2 uses a Teac VRDS mechanism.

Help please, what would you choose? I am tempted to get both and experiement but this has a very low WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). Also any comments on both these units reliabilty ?

Thanks in Advance

I looked at both transports when getting mine.
While I ended up with a Parsound (CEC) belt drive I came very close to buying the teac.

The P2 was teac's best mechanism at the time and is very good. Even thought it is older I would guess it sounds as good and maybe better than the 23. I would contact Steve at Great Northern Sound. He is very helpful and could easily answer this question for you.

He specializes in servicing and upgrading Wadia equipment.

Cheers,
Nick

Nick is right. I think the Wadia 2000 used a modified version of the Teac(I'm not sure about later models).
