In Reply to: CD transport needed - maybe posted by psgary on February 27, 2025 at 19:52:00:
The Tascam CD-200BT is the current model. Click the link at the bottom of this page. It uses the same Teac CD-5020A transport mechanism as found in the pricey Teac PD-505T. The transport is the main mechanical assembly found in a CD transport. Makes sense. Of course it also houses the motor, tray, and laser pickup. The Tascam is not marketed as an audiophile product so there's no audiophile tax associated with it. But it also lacks audiophile cred if that's important to you. For the price, I say it's low risk and worth a try at $420 USD.Teac CD-5020A Transport Assembly as found in the $1400 Teac PD-505T and the $420 Tascam CD-200BT. Hmm?
From the Tascam website: "All models in the CD-200 series accommodate the same highly-regarded and reliable TEAC
designed CD drive mechanism, the CD-5020A. By undertaking development ourselves and including our drives in the player,
we have achieved higher dependability, quality and reputation."The main difference between the Tascam CD-200 and CD-200BT is that the newer "BT" version has Bluetooth capability which you don't have to use. Just use it as a CD player (RCA outs) or as a transport using the Optical and Coaxial digital outputs. The remote control includes number keys for quick access to a specific track.
TASCAM CD-200BT. $420 at Crutchfield. Download the Tascam CD-200BT Manual PDF file.
P.S. TASCAM is owned by TEAC Corporation. TASCAM is the professional audio division of TEAC.
