The disc stabilization mechanism developed for the P1 became the engineering blueprint for the eventual emergence of the VRDS (Vibration Free, Rigid Disc Clamping System) transport. While Nakamichi had its Dragon cassette deck, Teac was the only other company offering the equally seminal ZD-7000, and when Sony had its CDP-R1 CD transport and DAS-R1 DAC separates in the late 80’s, Teac introduced its P1 CD transport and D1 DAC under the new Esoteric brand. Many audiophiles are still fondly reminiscent of Teac’s foray into high-end audio in the 80’s, with the introduction of many milestone products.

Founded in 1953, Teac (Tokyo Electro Acoustic Company) Corporation stands among the other consumer electronics giants of Japan nowadays as a distinctly specialized entity in storage medium technologies.
