Other Notes: "The TL0 is truly a cost-no-object high-end CD transport. Minimalist and striking, it is a beautiful ode to contemporary Japanese design and engineering. It's hard to describe this unit's physical presence, which goes beyond mere looks, build quality, or charisma (all of which the TL 0 possesses in massive quantities)...The TL 0 is priced commensurate with its performance and the true cost of its premium materials and painstaking workmanship. Each unit is hand-fabricated by an individual whose technical skills are complemented by his exquisite attention to detail. The most overwhelming sonic characteristic of the TL 0 was its ability to lift a perfectly immense amount of information from the disc and feed it to the processor in question. It was eloquently and enormously hyper-detailed to the limits of my ability to hear. No matter what the material, it seemed as though everything encoded in the pits was making it out. The C.E.C. TL 1 and the (original version) Forsell Air Bearing CD transports tended toward the soft, musical, and spacious; the TL 0 was all sharp resolution and absolute transparency--the foundations upon which its sound is formed."
