Esoteric P-05 CD / SACD Transport - Silver

VRDS-NEO “VMK-5” mechanism – a completely new development by Esoteric, incorporating high reliability and exceptionally quiet turntable rotation. In combination with the P-03 series shaft mounted pickup system, the “VMK-5” ensures the ultimate in disc-pit traceability!
The VRDS-NEO mechanism in the P-05 is a high performance CD/SACD transport solution.
The P-05 builds upon the success of Esoteric’s model P-70. This newly developed VRDS-NEO model VMK-5, (New-Vibration free Rigid Disc clamping System), combines two Esoteric proprietary technologies; the turntable disc clamping system and the unique VOSP (Vertically aligned Optical Stability Platform). The turntable securely clamps the disc and effectively reduces unwanted swing or vibration of the disc. This new turntable is precisely machined from solid aluminium helping to minimize rotational inertia. This extra light turntable design also ensures optimal performance as required for high speed disc rotation. In combination with this turntable system, the VOSP mechanism provides extremely accurate data retrieval by positioning the laser optical axis at the very centre of the data track.
This design eliminates off axis tracking and off axis error correction. Word clock input is included for synchronization with the matching D-05, D/A audio converter or with any of Esoteric’s stand-alone master clock generators. Optical tracking and data retrieval is processed by the same pick-up assembly as in the Esoteric model P-03 audio transport. The P-05 transport works with CD and SACD software.
