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!
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) |
@mofimadness Thank you for sharing your recommendation of Stephen at Talking Dog Transducers. I just got off of the phone with him and had a really nice conversation with him. He is a true gentleman, very knowledgeable and very enjoyable to talk with! Best wishes, Don |

@no_regrets...IMHO, Stephen is, if not the best, one of the best techs in the country! I have recommended him numerous times and have always had great responses to his work. VERY talented and experienced. One of my highest recommendations!!! |
