Transports under $1K

Hi Peter:
You know from our emails that I always was fortunate enough to have found my own TL2....so you have no competition here. I applaud your choice...it is a good one.
When I was searching and growing impatient, I reached the conclusion that the Paraound C/BD2000 was the logical choice for a substitute. No great mystery there. Sorry I didn't know you were looking....there was a screaming deal recently on a C/DP2000 at Echo Audio.
Good luck in your search. Gary

I've heard great things about the Audio Note CDT-2.

The vecteur transport is supposed to be quite good. I saw one a few weeks ago here for qbout $650.

I have no doubts my Parasound CBD-2000 will be MUCH better than a stock TL-2 once Dan Wright is done w/ the project.

See if you find a G&D Transforms UTP-1 as they really are remarkable and turn up used for $8-900 here. Not much to look at, but sing and will just need a new laser every five years or so to keep working fine.....Jeff Tonkin of Hovland, got tired of the looks and put it in a pretty box for the CES this year, but the same old G&D inside the pretty chassis......You can't do any better if you are looking for redbook playback.....
