TMR AUDIO HAS A MINT CEC TL-5 ON WEB SITE.
CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
Hello,
I currently have a new LTA Aero Dac on order. I have a feeling that I will be soon be ordering a new CD Transport to go with the new Dac and am trying to narrow down the options.
I am strongly considering either the Jay's CDT2MK3/CDT3MK3; but would also like to hear more about the CEC TL5 and the CEC TL-2N belt drive transports.
I'm curious if anyone has had the opportunity to compare CEC with the Jay's?
I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences - whether they be good or bad before I decide to pull the trigger.
Thank you and best wishes to you all!

I have the CEC TL 5. It needed something shortly after I got it and Audio Union here in the States serviced and returned it to me in a week. The remote is a cheesy plastic job, but you can buy a heavy aluminum one that is more appropriate. Have not compared it to the Jay's--. I'm more of an LP guy who uses the CD transport as necessary. No complaints, solid unit in my estimation. |
@digital3 Thank you for letting me know that TMR has a nice one for sale. As nice as that does look, I think I will be buying new as I’d like a warranty. @audiotroy Thank you for your post. That is a good idea, and I may consider a very nice streamer at some point in the future; but at this moment I just want a very nice transport. @whart Thank you for your post!!! I was hoping to hear from actual users of the CEC transports. I too am a vinyl guy. I’m thinking digital will only comprise 80% of my listening as I truly love listening to my minty vinyl collection 😉 Did you have a chance to compare the CEC with any other transports? Which transport did you replace? Was there a significant improvement in sound? Thank you and best wishes to you all! Don |
