The CD-3000 is the flagship player in a range of two-channel components intended to allow TEAC to compete at price points lower than those of its Esoteric models. There is more than a whiff of Esoteric about the styling of the CD-3000 too, with smoothed-off leading edges on the front panel and general construction that looks bomb-proof. The partnering IR remote is well laid out and easy to use (although arguably still not as nice as the Pioneer's) and the fitment of buttons and connections is very good too.
