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!

TRICK:  you can buy a new CEC TL-5 for a Grand from Japanese companies.....it's 100 Volts....not 110 volts. Secret:  it works just fine.....I've had mine for 2 years now and I love the Top Loader because I can put weights and stabilizers on top of the cd's...Big Sound Improvement !   My Electrician friend said 100V. works fine into 110 outlet.

You won't get it until you do some actual research on what effects it has on all power all supplies- INCLUDING CD PLAYERS/TRANSPORTS

Hello and thank you for your post!  I truly appreciate you taking the time to share with me your experience of comparing the two Jay’s Audio transports.  

I also had a member from another forum who commented on his experience of comparing the two Jay’s Audio transports and he actually preferred the CDT2 more so than the CDT3. He thought the CDT2 sounded more analog and had a better flow to the music.  
 

I think that if I go with a Jays it will be the CDT2mk3.

Thank you again for sharing your experiences with me!

Best wishes,

Don

@mbmi Thank you for your tip on buying directly from Japan and the voltage difference, etc.  I’ll have to investigate that some more!

Id love to get the TL2N, but at US prices, it seems pretty steep. 
 

Thx again for your post!
