Spending $2500 on a new transport is a waste of money. Just add a reclocker like the Synchro-Mesh and this should be a significant upgrade. It will perform like a $10K or more transport.

Upgrading my Redbook after 18 years
My vinyl system is my primary source but have ventured into headphones as a second system with Redbook being the only source I use. Headphone listening is provided by a newly broken in Schitt Gumby thru a Cambridge CDX transport and I have started using the system more and more, am really impressed with the Gumby but would like to upgrade the transport and the Bell Canto CD3T has come to my attention with the bnc connection which as I understand would behoove the Gumby. I will also like to upgrade my 18 year old Wadia 8 transport and my Jadis D2 dac in my main system and was thinking maybe a single piece CD player in the range of $2,500.00 slightly used or demo. On my main system I like what I have better than the Oppo players so other suggestions will be considered. Please note SACD isn't needed and have no plans to download, stream of other sources just Redbook on both systems.

@erik_squires , have had my Schitt Gumby for about 4 months really like it and yes I am surprised at the level of performance I am getting from it. @audioengr ,I am looking at your products now and thanks. @twoleftears , you purchasing the Bryston is a good endorsement, if you would give it a month or so and reach out to me with your feelings on it I would thank you. |
