Best used transport under $2000?

Help! I'm looking for the best used transport I can get to play CD's. I have a Theta TLC for re-clocking and a Cello/Apogee 8.1 DAC. Playback of Laser Disk is not desired (although DVD would be nice but not necessary). The balance of the system will include a Cello Etude (passive attenuator), Cello duet 350 or ML 333 (I'm leaning to the Cello), and Watt/Puppies 5.1. Since I can't A/B used equipment on my system, I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks! Ken

Why settle for used when you can get a brand new, class A for DVD and borderline class B for CD playback, California Audio Labs CL-20 for about $1495. If you are looking for straight CD playback California Audio Labs CL-15, borderline class A, for about $1695 and it also functions as a digital processor/preamplifier to boot. I don't own one yet but its my next purchase. Good hunting.

C.E.C. TL-2 The best for the money. The only one that has been better is my Theta DaViD

If you're lucky you can get a Mark Levinson No. 37 for less than $2000. If not, spend the extra $300 for it.

There's a CEC 5100 Belt Drive transport demo USD 850 at Audioadvisor.com I have one, this is really good transport. Also the better demo one at the same site CEC TL-1 or TL-2 around USD 1.500-1.600. Go with them
