Does the Transport make a significant difference

Just bought a new CD transport for kicks, CEC TL3N. Just thought I'd check it out. My first belt drive top loader, very nice.

Rja -

I look forward to reading about your impressions on the CEC TL3N. This company has been building these outstanding transports for a long time.

Also, tell me about the rest of the gear, including cables/cords, in your system. Keep me posted & happy listening!

I've owned a number of different CEC Transports and a CDP over the years (although I don't currently own one) and I have always found a special sound do to the belt drive system.
Enjoy...

I use a 47 labs Flat Fish transport that is modified with Black Gate caps and an upgraded Super Clock. It is powered by a custom battery ps and sounds superb! I have pics of it in my gallery over on Audio Circle and You Tube, search rodge827 on both to get a good look at it. I can be contacted through both sites to get more pics if necessary.

I hate this hobby:)! I disconnected my Parasound JC2 and went from the PS Audio Directstream strait into the Parasound A21 amp via balanced cables and it sounds slightly better direct! I tried direct with the PS Audio Perfectwave DAC II and it was terrible... I wish I knew then, what I know now. I could have saved some money. Needless to say, the Parasound JC2 is going up for sale on audiogon!
