Sony CDP-XA7ES vs CEC TL-1 transport

Need to say that with the new laser my CEC has no problems with discs now! Cheap and very easy to replace) Interesting that the new laser mechanism has a metal body while the old one is made of plastic...

Btw what grease should I use for laser's rails and for plastic gears?

That is good news Alex and I hope you have many happy years with your CECT transport. 
Charles,

@alex_bolotnikov Alex, do you still own CEC or moved somewhere?
Looking at TL1 or Esoteric P0: lots of thought. On one hand, we have completely analogue sound, while countless reliability issues, on the other hand, a deep, transparent and sharp sound of the finest and most reliable transport on the market ever made. Just sold my TL3 3.0... looking for other options.
