jnovak: I see that you had a problem with Esoteric after buying a used piece. They have a 3-year warranty on all equipment. And the cost of shipping can be avoided-- there are many cheaper options. What about PS Audio? They sold their Directstream Memory Players for $6,000 using a Oppo transport mechanism. Oppo gets out of the business-- and PS Audio owners are out of luck. Esoteric makes their own mechanism, which means that they can fix it. Did your Esoteric repair cost you $3,500-- or as you posted on another thread-- $350? Anyway-- you buy a Ferrari, you pay a lot for maintenance and repairs. Buy a cheap player, and you can just trash it when it stops working.
Looking for my "last" CD transport
Hello everyone,
as I am unhappy with my CD transport which is connected to my Linnenberg Satie DAC, I am looking for my "final" CD transport to replace it.
There is a limited market for new ones but I am also interested to get a vintage one if it makes sense.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks for your help,
BR

Speaking of Esoteric take a look at this vintage one at TMR and review. https://tmraudio.com/components/cd-sacd-players/esoteric-p-0-cd-transport-p0-remote-100v/ |
Hello, There are quite a few Transports available. Take a look at Audio Note(UK). State of the Art . They cover different price ranges. They stand behind the product and you will always have a transport to last. I have the CDT-4 right here. I will probably sell mine to move up in the range. CD playing is here to stay. |
I saw this, yesterday, and noticed the low price. It comes from Denmark and here's the link; https://tangent-audio.com/products/9-electronics/165-tangent-cd-ii/ All the best, Nonoise |
