Best Transport under $2500

I am trying to upgrade my system again. I am now looking for advice on what you folks think is the best CD Transport for under $2500.

I have a nice Teac VRDS10 at this time and it is excellent. I intend on keeping it for a while. The only problem is that is has a laser in it that is not being made any longer.

What I would like to do is start my search for a replacement for either the laser assembly or the whole transport.

Thanks in advance to you all.

I agree with Reb1208 if that's the route you want to go.I have that unit as a transport and it works very well, it's not to bad as a player either. I was quite surprised to hear it sound quite clean and full for ss. Much better than a MF A308 cdp I had.

Good luck,
Bob

Chuck - Not a silly question. I love the Teac transport that I have now, but they do not manufacture the laser assembly for it any longer. I already had a transport quit on me once and it left me in a bind until I found the Teac. So, I am just doing my homework for a potential replacement, so I will not have to do it at the last moment.

I would also like to hear from anyone who might have a spare laser assembly that they would like to sell me.

Nob,

I called and spoke with someone that told me that my best money spent would be on Tri-phazers. When I asked him for a price on the upgrade, he said he didn't know because he hadn't purchased a laser assembly in quite a while.

I got a sales pitch on the tri-phazers and when I told him that I had a Valab non oversampling dac, he stopped and said if I had that dac, the tri-phasers would not be that effective.
