TA-D88
TA-D88B
(march 1978 - 1981+)
Probably
the most successful audiophile electronic crossover - the D88 sold
very well, and in much larger quantities than any model from
Pioneer
or Accuphase.
Updated in early 1981 to become the ESPRIT
TA-D900 with, besides looks, minor layout and PCB differences.
The D88's lowest frequency module (Module
1) starts at 140Hz, a frequency pushed back byt the ESPRIT
D900 with the addition of Module 0
which allowed to start at 50Hz.
The
specifications between the TA-D88B
and the ESPRIT TA-D900 are however exactly identical but the D88
shows even less distortion ;-) The modules (tagged in blue for the
D88, in red for the D900) are also identically built.
In
Japan, a special module was made available before the D900 came
in: the S1. It allowed to start
the low crossover at 62,5Hz, 100Hz or 125Hz instead of the 140/225/280Hz
of the normal Module 1.
