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!

I wouldn't trade my CEC TL-2 for anything...well, maybe a CEC TL-Zero!

I've had my TL-2 for 7-8 years and have never had to replace the belts.  I did buy a spare set, just in case, and they were less than $10 each.

If repair is needed, I recommend Stephen Sank from Talking Dog Transducers.  He is really, really good!

@no_regrets...IMHO, Stephen is, if not the best, one of the best techs in the country!  I have recommended him numerous times and have always had great responses to his work.

VERY talented and experienced.

One of my highest recommendations!!!
