BEST CD TRANSPORT

@charles1dad Thanks for the kind words.  Yes, I'm feeding the LTA and the Boulder with Takumi PCs, and using a Hijiri HDG Million AES/EDU between the Pro-Ject and the Boulder.  The Takumis, in particular, may be overkill, but I really do appreciate the results.

 No doubt that your results justify these power cables. The caliber of your components warrant their usage. The better the AC power quality, the better the sound. Good move by you.

I like Audio Note CDT FIve transport and AN CDT Six belt drive transport + AN Fifth Element DAC. 

Jay's Audio CDT3 Mk3, i.e their latest offering. I run it always with the 174 Hz toggle to "on" with which the Holo May syncs just fine. The 174 HZ is at another level of articulation and smoothness for Redbook CD's. The synergy between the Jay's and my Holo Audio May Kitsune Level 3 is beautiful. The CDT3 MK3 is a real tank, and the Philips Laser Mechanism (CDPRO2 LF) is very well built and damped.

This transport takes at least a hundred hours to break in - worth the wait.

Thank you!
