@mksun I haven’t really had a chance to listen to it enough to tell. There is definitely more bass response. The new CDs I’ve listened to sounded very good, but I’m not ready to say it’s better.
Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?
I recently upgraded from the Cdt2MK3 to the Cdt3MK3 and I am not pleased. The CDT3MK3 skips on CDs that I’ve been playing on the CDT2 for two years without a problem. Anyone else with a similar experience?

@mksun I’m not saying it isn’t better yet. I only have a few hours listening and when I have listened, I’m not in the right mind because I’m anticipating a skip. I haven’t had a chance to relax and listen. I do believe there is more bass present and I’ve noticed a wider soundstage. |
Yes, that could be some of it. The CDT3 is 2500.00 more than the CDT2. I wouldn’t expect it to make three quarters of my CDs useless. I sold my CDT2 too quick I think. stereophile magazine had a review that stated the CDT3 did very well when testing for skipping and far exceeded the standards for acceptance. I think I have a problem with this one. |
@bolong Since you have both units, please answer this question. When you are finished playing a CD on the CDT3 MK3, do you remove the CD and then place the stabilizer back on the platter? When I do that, I close the lid and I can hear the laser rubbing the stabilizer twice before it stops and the display reads "no disc". I would think it should not rub the stabilizer. |
@stuartk I will let you know how it turns out. I have exchanged a few emails with Alvin and Todd. |
@stuartk The CDT2MKIII never gave me any problems. I hope the issue with the CDT3 MKIII is resolved and hope that I am not sorry I sold my CDT2.
I have reached out to Todd and Alvin. |
