T+A PDT 3100 HV Reference CD/SACD Transport

Description

PDT 3100 HV

The T+A PDT 3100 HV has been developed uniquely and exclusively for the uncompromising task of reading SACD and CD, and is fitted with a new decoder / drive mechanism which has been developed from the ground up. This mechanism reads and decodes CD and SACD without error and to the very highest standards of quality.

The mechanism is integrated into a heavy drive unit, manufactured to reach rigidly high standards, designed to shield and isolate it completely. The entire T+A PDT 3100 HV mechanical system is extremely refined.

The core of the T+A PDT 3100 HV is the new, modern decoder / disc mechanism, which has been developed specifically for audio applications. It features the latest processors, lasers, high-performance motors and other components, all designed to provide the optimum conditions for perfect, error-free disc reading characteristics.

This unit is fully shielded, and housed in a very substantial case machined from solid aluminium, designed to prevent any form of interaction between the moving parts of the mechanism and the remainder of the player.

This entire disc mechanism block is mounted on just two close-tolerance linear bearings, which in turn are suspended from a thick carrier plate; the latter is fixed to the central case plate at only three points. This design ensures that the whole mechanism is completely isolated from the heavy external housing.
