JAYS Audio transport upgrade?


I have a JAYS Audio CD Transport mk2...An upgrade is available for about $1,000. There is no way I'll ever get to listen and compare a mk2 vs. mk3. Any experience with these transports, is it worth the $?

So a few months back I visited Vinshine audio (the distributors for Jays). They have a listening room which had both the 2 and the 3. We went back and forth. I tried to convince myself that the 3 sounded better but to be honest they sounded exactly the same. The Vinshine employee who was listening with me agreed. Maybe there’s a difference but for sure it’s subtle.

You’re asking about upgrading cdt2mkll to cdt2mklll, right?

Ask Todd at TEK Audio. He is a straight shooter. 

 

Yes, cdt2 mk2 to cdt 2mk3...Thanks, I sent an email, they don't have a phone? LOL

Excellent advice but not all gear is available from sellers who offer trial periods/return policies. I normally don’t buy anything I can’t demo at home and return if necessary but sometimes this just isn’t possible. I bought my Jay’s CDT2MKIII without a return option and have been very pleased with it.

FWIW, I’ve found Todd very responsive to emails.
