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!

@mbmi "With the TL-5 , they have a 1 belt system and give you a spare belt at no charge...Mine is over 2 years old and shows NO sign of wear." That's great to know. It's nice to know that CEC seems to be making a great product with reliability to match! Best wishes, Don |
@mesch Thank you for your post! I love hearing that people are really enjoying the CDT2mk3. If I get the Jay's it will be that model. Thank you for sharing your experience with me! Best wishes, Don |
@jaudio1 Thank you for your post. I will admit, I am afraid to order the Project, simply due to the many reports of reliability issues with the product. I understand that if you happen to get one that works, that it performs at a very high level. However, I think I will be deciding between the Jays and CEC, as I am not hearing any negatives about reliability concerns and that their owners seem to be quite smitten the the sound quality too. I appreciate you sharing your recommendation with me though! Best wishes, Don |
@mofimadness Thank you for your post! It certainly seems as though CEC is providing some great longevity! I can handle $10 for new belts... but charging $100 I feel is insane. I have to wonder if that might have been a typo? I appreciate the recommendation for Stephen Sank from Talking Dog Transducers in case any repairs need to be made. Best wishes, Don |
