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!

@no_regrets - maybe just get the Jays CD2 and be done. I don’t see how you can go wrong.

Mine is the CEC TL3N model. Not sure if it's still available.

I have looked at and considered an older CEC T-1 and a Jays Audio. Curious where the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T would land in the battle between these brands?

The CEC TL5 is the way to go... amazing sonic/built quality. You can buy one under $1000 shipped to your home (directly from Japan).

Jays Audio CDPs and CDTs are stupidly overpriced Chinese audio products. Don't buy.

(i love $1000 SMSL SUX and Gustard A26 DAC even though they're made in China. and i love quality audio/power cables mostly made in China and mostly under $100)
