Teac VRDS-T1 Transport

[Ninanina]

When I picked up my new speakers, the Living Voice Auditoriums, the chap also had a Teac VRDS-T1 transport sitting there so I asked the price and after knocking him down a bit I purchased it

Unfortunately the gear the chap had was of his later bother's collection which is such a shame

Neither the speakers or transport could be heard as they had no other equipment to go with it so I purchased both the speakers and the Teac unheard and untested which is something I would not normally do but the couple I purchased the speakers and transport from where just such lovely people, middle class with a lovely 6 bedroom victorian house, so I am pretty sure it will work ok. Certainly the speakers are working just perfectly

I have not even taken the Teac out of it's box yet but was wondering what people thought of it as a transport

I will probably try it out tomorrow evening with the AN Dac and see how it is

If its working, be prepared for a shock I think this will be the best you will have ever heard your music through that DAC.

Really Neil is it that good ?

Yes, nothing else you have will come close. You will hear exactly why transports matter and make a difference.

Thanks Neil

I can't wait to try it now

It seems quite heavy to me for a transport and looks well built and as it's 'Made in Japan' I expect it to be pretty good

This is it, sorry not great pic:

It is fitted with an early version of the finest Red Book transport ever made. The VRDS mechanisms are to be found in Wadia's and Esoteric's and other top flight high end CD players and Transports. As I say if this works, you are in for a real treat.

Teac no longer supply VRDS mechanisms to other companies, just to Esoteric - a spin off company.

I will do my best to put it in the system tomorrow evening and hopefully it will work ok, I know anything cd related are the riskiest purchases so hopefully it will be fine

I will be shocked if you don't hear what I think you should hear

I had one. Excellent transport, really does everything right.

I agree. You have one stompin' transport there, Bev.

I was amazed when I had one. It eventually needed a new laser but they are pretty cheap to buy which surprised me.

Moving up the chain, I don't think you will really need to bother with the intermediate TEAC transports until maybe the P30 which is a monster but also now quite expensive to keep running regarding lasers unfortunately.

So, well done... it's a keeper IMO.
