Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?

Well, I absolutely love my cdt 8. If it is as you imply, all I can say is that it works like a dream, it loads very fast, and upsampling works very well for me. 

I think the point attempting to be made here is the eventual breakdown/obsolescence of ALL transport/cd players. My Pioneer PD 65 lasted a solid 10 years, so, IMO it's all good 

So "IF" a CDT 8/9 lasts 10 years, seems like a reasonable cost. 

Hopefully, some company advances the lower tech laser sleds to keep spinners available for decades to come

In the last 6 months I had to replace front suspension wishbones,, radiator, turbo, tires, various water hoses... @ ~ $5K fto keep my 2014 Saab 9-5 running

There is NO new car I WOULD buy that brings me the joy of ownership that I could afford.. FYI, it's my 5th Saab

Word from my Jay’s Audio contacts is that the Philips CDM-4 transport/laser assembly mechanism for the CDT2, MK2 can be obtained for $350, including shipping. 

No word from Jason of NuPrime Audio about what Brand/Model transport/laser assembly mechanism is in the CDT-8 Pro. 

CDT2, MK2 can be obtained for $350

What about just the laser, as the mechs usually out last 3 x lasers 

No word from Jason of NuPrime Audio about what Brand/Model transport/laser assembly mechanism is in the CDT-8 Pro.

If there’s no word, they don’t want it reviled for some reason or another.

Cheers George

Anyone can pop the hood of their CDT-8 Pro and discover the brand/model of the laser transport mechanism. It isn’t like NuPrime can encapsulate it in a wax block like M&K did with their electronics back in the 1970’s.
