Hi Jesús and others.
TEAC (Tokyo Electro-Acoustic Company)
Is asfar as I know, the same as TASCAM and for what I've been told, TEAC did not take Wadia over. Wadia uses TEAC Transports just because they are one of the best!

to X or not to X!
Hi Blitz,
Unfortunately, I don't know.
I never had a 25 on the bench, so I can not tell!
I know that my 25X is allmost as good as the P-70 😉 I know them both!
Regards,
Audiofanatic 😉
P.S. I think that the 25 has no digital servo in the transport motor, but don't know that for shure.

Copland cd 288
Hi
I bought 2nd hand a Copland 288 and it has the teac drive in it.
I already changed the cheapish internal clock for a an XO3 clock with much less jitter and the sound became more solid, quiet and transparent (more space)
But if I understand you all well, the teac needs more mods to truly shine?
Can you elaborate more on this?
what exactly can i do?
thanx
Kyrill

If you want your 288 to really shine, swap a couple og 0.47uf caps in the analog section to mcap supreme silver/oil.
I have made a post on this, the pictures speaks for themselves. The language is in Norwegian.
http://www.hififorum.nu/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24235
BTW. What is the price of a used TEAC p-700 drive?
And what VRDS mechanism is in it?
I can get one for 160$
Best Regards

TEAC P-700 Transport
Hi Bambadoo,
If you have the chance to buy the P-700, don't hessitate!
BUY THE TRANSPORT!
it's better than the Copland unit. the Copland uses a KSS-240A ?
And the P-700 uses a KSS-151A this laserunit is much better and the transport of the P-700 is much better than the Copland.
You must modify the unit in order to get the most out of it.
I have one and I have the Kwak Clock installed in it, PSU is new and all caps are Oscons and BG's. Silver wired!
It's better than the WADIA 21 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best regards,
Audiofanatic 😉
P.S. don't use a SP/DIF output transformer make a Kwak one. Ask Elso about this.

Thanks for the information. I have a modified audionote dac that I like really much, and it's a shame to use the copland only as a transport.
Do you know when the unit (p-700) was produced? And what the price was?
It's a bit difficult to find information of it.

Re: Servo mods!
I am very anxious to hear from you. I am still waiting for one more repair part so my T1 can spin again (might be in the mail today). In the meantime I have covered the insides with bituminous damping material. I really would like to mod it some more!

Nope!
Hi Bambadoo,
Check the inside of the unit, look at the pcb and find (somwhere) a prod. date, and one or two years to that date.
If you don't want the P-700 transport, I know somone who might want the Transport. Be carefull not to buy one with a weak Laser unit!!!
BTW. the pics of the copland shows that the transport inside looks like a T1/VRDS 7 transport, the VRDS10,25,25X etc has a better transport.
Best regards,
Audiofanatic 😉
P.S. August,
mods done on my P-700 and my VRDS 25X are really simple.
PSU, SERVO, CABLES/CONNECTORS, NEW CASE ALA WADIA, BG's
AND OsCON's Where possible.

Hi
Can't you say a little bit more like which mods you have done so I learn from you and August and probably many others who love this forum?

Here is a picture of the unit.
He said it wasn't used much.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Ik zal m'n best doen!
Hi,
I sure will tell you guys what I did. But some guys on the forum, Dutch guys, will kill me if I tell what I did to the servo.
So for the standard mods, I'll get back to you within a few days. For the Servo mods, I'm sorry, I can not tell you guys, cause the mods to the servo is done by a friend and he will not tell about it, I don't know a thing about Digital, Analogue is my thing. Why don't you ask the Digital wonders on the forum, for mods on the digital part.
Best regards,

Age!
Age don't say anything!
Mine was also 10x used but the laserunit was not good!
Don't buy if you are not sure or are not willing to buy and install a new laserunit KSS-151A it's expensive!
