in a store, however, the stores demo system was so "different" (I'm being generous/nice) from my home setup, it was next to impossible to differentiate certain sonic qualities. That demo lasted all of 10 minutes. To the stores credit, they did offer a Teac unit for home demo over a weekend, but I declined.
Yet I also remain curious. I'm starting to see more & more Teac's on the 2nd hand market and coming down in price/on sale, in my area.
Jim Treanor, I think he's owned a Teac 501 for some time now; should be familiar with the Teac "sound".
I also considered the Oppo, which are the best blu-ray players I've ever witnessed by a country mile. From a Blu-Ray perspective, they're beautiful units, head over heals better than ANY big name Blu Ray player I've seen/heard at any cost. With my 70'Sharp/stereo, the Oppo would certainly improve HT experience.
That said, I have a good Panasonic BRP, and other than some music based Blu Rays and DVDs, and a small collection of movies, I don't purchase much BR software now, less & less in the future. I much prefer a to integrate a computer based solution within my HT/stereo system, in which the Teac's - are much better suited.
I had done some reading around on these, and my impression was that they are "economy" versions of the Esoteric players... Would be a good idea to look up available reviews on this model or its siblings to try and get a sense for what they might sound like.
Seems the main issue is the disc tray's extension from the faceplate, Takes some care to ensure disc is centered in the tray before closing. I'll keep looking for more.
Thanks.
