@georgehifi I have also seen the Jay’s cdt2 mk2
Yeah it's nice, but to me expensive. And I did query the availability and price of the laser, and from suppliers like the ones usual on ebay, in case they go belly up next week/year.
To me there's nothing worse that a nice expensive product like a CDP or CDT that there's no laser for easily at a decent price, or worse unobtainium, then you have junk.
Like the magic Mark Levinson No.39 now junk if you can't find a new Sony-KSS-151A laser, try too find a new one of those (not used).
