Look down the page a few posts for the answer

Look at the post down the page for the answer (linked below). I only know of three products that use the Teac transport:

1) The new dCS stack that goes for around $70,000.

2) The new Spectral that is around $25,000 or $30,000. This is something of an anomaly. I am told that Spectral is not really a business in the sense that it makes money. My understanding is that the owner is independently wealthy and the company is more of a "vanity" business. Many (if not all) of the Spectral products are priced 20% or 30% less than what most other manufacturers would charge. So if you like the way the Spectral products sound, you can get something of a bargain. The disadvantages are that they only have a handful of dealers and the wait for the equipment is usually several months. Search the forums for more on this.

3) APL Labs sells a super-modified Esoteric X-01 for (I believe) $25,000. They replace all of the analog circuitry and make modifications (or possibly replace, I'm not sure) to the power supply and digital circuitry. The Esoteric chassis is retained.
