CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports

Hello,

I currently have a new LTA Aero Dac on order.  I have a feeling that I will be soon be ordering a new CD Transport to go with the new Dac and am trying to narrow down the options.

I am strongly considering either the Jay's CDT2MK3/CDT3MK3; but would also like to hear more about the CEC TL5 and the CEC TL-2N belt drive transports.

I'm curious if anyone has had the opportunity to compare CEC with the Jay's?

I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences - whether they be good or bad before I decide to pull the trigger.

Thank you and best wishes to you all!

@no_regrets

not trying to go off topic or to muddy the waters, but you may find other options useful:

  • 1.3 Yamaha CD-S1000
  • 2.0 Rotel CD6000T
  • 2.1 LUMIN U1 mini
  • 2.5 Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3
  • -2.7 Teac 701T
  • 3.2 Soundaware D300REF Transport
  • -3.2 Project CD Box RS2 T

I haven’t decided on adding a transport to my digital chain, so I compiled a list of positively reviewed transports. Prices not current.

I was debating between Jays and the Project CD Box RS2 T, and decided on the RS2….for now.

@kennyc Not sure if you’ve seen but the RS2 has had more than its share of reliability issues

@soix - thanks for the RS2 reliability update. - I have not been tracking

The TEAC VRDS-701T CD transport looks good, priced reasonable, and has a positive Stereophile review here
