CDT-777 CD transport
The JVC transport mechanism used in Reimyo’s CDP-777 is no longer available, so Kiuchi experimented with various other devices before settling on Philips’ highly regarded, top-loading CD-Pro M2 drive -- but only after three months of checking its reliability and sonic performance. He then designed a heavy-duty aluminum housing tuned with Harmonix resonance-conditioning technology. Kiuchi’s concern for resonance control extends to the CDT-777’s 15mm-thick chassis, 12mm-thick slide rail, and 8mm-thick front panel, all of which are treated with Harmonix conditioning to eliminate unwanted internal vibrations. And, as always, Kiuchi uses internal wiring and transformers custom-developed to suit the component.
