A new cd transport


I presently own a Musical Fidelity A3 24 DAC using a Marantz CD6000 OSE LE as a transport. I am now thinking of upgrading the transport to a CEC TL51. Any comments on this combination in terms of sound quality?

CEC transports are very very close to analog. Smooth, detailed, can listen for hours sound. (non digital, no congestion etc...)some say too slow, but only when compared to a digitally harsh system. I had a CEC TL2X and miss it, I have a new player coming in and will be very intersted in how it compares.

So far, I have heard nothing that compares.
I don't think you will have to worry about the belt as a potential for servicing. If you kept the transport for 10 years, then you may want to replace the belt. But even so you may not need to then. I don't think this should be an issue on a CEC or other belt drive transports, although even if it needed replacing, you could easily do it yourself.
