Teac (by Esoteric) AI-2000 Itegrated Amp / with phono input

TEAC introduces its new spectacular Distinction Series consisting of a newly designed range of separate HiFi components in classic full size. The Distinction Series perfectly closes a gap in the TEAC line-up of high fidelity audio components between the very popular, first rate Reference Series and TEACs high end, audio award winning ESOTERIC brand.

The new series consists of three sets of CD/SACD players and matching stereo integrated amplifiers each offering different performance levels.

All Distinction Series components are manufactured using individually selected electronic audio components placed in solid housings sporting elegant, timeless front panels made from 10 mm brushed aluminum and available in silver or black finish.
