If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money

I just got in-house the Jay's Audio CDT-2 MK3 transport to review for hometheaterreview.com.  The build quality and physical appearance make it hard to believe that it retails for around $2,400.  Right out of the crate not even broken in yet, it's out performing my CEC double belt transport in the reference system.  It retains all the liquidity and analog smoothness of the belt driven transport but offers more details, tighter bass frequencies, and a larger layered soundstage with more air between the players.

Alvin, of Vinshine Audio set this review up with me, so if you go to his website you can get a lot more details/pictures on this transport.  The reason I was motivated to review a CD transport was I received scores of requests from my readers asking what is a great sounding transport, for a reasonable amount of money.  So far, in spades the Jay's Audio CDT-2 MK3 fits the bill easily.

nonoise,
I think he was looking for teajay's review, your link is the review by Sarjan Ebaen in 2018

I'm guessing that teajay won't have a review on it as he is no longer reviewing for hometheaterreview  and Sarjan already reviewed it on 6Moons

@ nonoise   Thanks for posting that link. Unfortunately, that review is not authored by TJ and I had already seen it when it was originally put up. And I have no quibble with any of the conclusions reached. But that does not let TJ off the hook for repeatedly dodging the seemingly innocuous/harmless question of when/where can we expect to find HIS review of this product.

All the best.

Since teajay is now associated with 6Moons vs hometheaterreview do you think that 6Moons is going to publish 2 reviews on the same piece of gear? Likely not.

Hey acresverde,

Please stop accusing me of dodging your question.  I clearly wrote a detailed account on the thread entitled, "Jay's Audio CDT-3 : Impressions of a Great CD Transport" which explains why I did not write the review and how Srajan quotes me in his review about my experiences with the CDT-2.  I also, for what ever reason had not received any of your Emails that you sent to me through Six Moons, therefore I was not trying to be disrespectful to you at all.
