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 $?

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

THIS:

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

pbecker128...an off the cuff listen to most source equipment will not sound its best with a quick demo...The key to hearing what anything a piece of kit has to offer a listener would be a long term in-home demo! Anything other than that would be a short-sighted conclusion.

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.

@larseand

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

I have a CD3 MKIII but I haven't heard the CD2. I bought the CD3 because I'm in the process of upgrading my components to end-game status and I simply wanted the best I could get.

It sounds wonderful and I'm glad that I forked over the dough to get the CD3 so I don't have to twitterpate over getting the best model.
