- Come with me this time as I repair this beautiful, heavyweight TEAC VRDS-25 high-end CD player. This one is a real ripper, beautiful both inside and out and with the resurgence of interest in CDs and CD players these days, sit back, relax and enjoy this one!
I've been making CD and DAC-related content since before 2010. You'll find a ton of CD-related content here and on my website.
As always, please excuse the one-take or minimal editing, dodgy sound etc, it's the only way I can get videos out these days and even then, I struggle!

The gold against the black looks really good.
Awesome work as always Mike! Still not as nice as a Sony CDP-X7ESD but it’s a close second. I could never let go of my X7ESD.
Thanks David and yes, both beautiful CD players but I know how much you love the X7ESD. The TEAC sounds better than the Sony when run as an integrated player, but external DACs level that out of course. I still have my X7ESD but my Accuphase DP-90 is the ultimate, article coming soon hopefully!
Looking forward to the article!
@@CannedBeats agreed I have a 77 myself.
I'd kill to own one haha, majestic vid !
私が働いて最初の給料で買ったオーディオがこれでした。重くてびっくりしました。もう昔の話です。
Hi, is it possible to talk about belt material technology? We now have the benifit of hindsight to show exacty how these belts deteriorate over time. Is there new belt material available now which will not break down like the original belts or are you replacing like for like?
Surely there is a better belt material?
Also this has always been my dream CD player. Just beautiful and reasonably affordable.
the newer poly belts don't melt, but they all will still break down eventually and become too loose to do their job. it was the particular formulation of butyl rubber (synthetic rubber) that they used in the 90s that was particularly bad at melting and turning into goo
plain old rubber *can* last for a very long time if they are kept in climate controlled conditions and is generally fine for a current replacement option if you can't source a fancier material
Great question, you might ask the same question about car tyres for example. Natural rubber is still used in these roles for a number of reasons including high coefficient of friction, shock absorption, resistance to wear, etc. The key is the quality of rubber belt used, making sure oils don't impinge on them and routine maintenance.

Is the Dac section from Sony or inhouse ?
A completely custom TEAC board, it's a thing of beauty but all these VRDS machines are.
I have one , noisy draw .
Never seen, I don't think this made it to the States, maybe a good thing, this is more technical than I can imagine, that is a impressive DAC Board.
