CLAMPING THE DISC

摘要

The launch of Teac's high-end Esoteric marque in 1987 - and its first P-1 /D-1 CD transport/DAC combo - was heralded by the introduction of its Vibration-free Rigid Disc clamping System [VRDS], a CD transport mechanism that supports the entire back surface of a spinning optical disc rather like an upside-down LP platter. This elaborately-engineered mechatronic marvel, designed to minimise vibration in spinning optical media, was aped in the early '90s by Pioneer with its Stable Platter Mechanism, built into affordable CD players.
