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!

Hi,

I just wanted to take a quick moment to update you, as well as the other forum members, who so nicely contributed their thoughts and experiences in an effort to help me decide which CD Transport I should consider for upgrading the digital side of my audio system.

I've been dealing with a lot of health issues as of late, which has been demanding much of my time, energy and attention.  However, I had taken a look at the USAudiomart classifieds this afternoon and came across Jay's Audio CDT2Mk3 in mint condition, which included the Headquarter Audio Qstab CD Clamp, in the black finish (which I wanted to match the rest of my equipment) that was just listed.  

I couldn't believe the timing of this ad being posted right when I happened to be looking at the site.  I sent the seller a quick email to confirm the condition, etc and hit the buy button!  I normally buy new, but the savings looked attractive to me, especially considering the amount of money that I've been paying for recent medical expenses.  It just seemed like it was meant to be!

I'm looking forward to receiving it and hearing what it can add to my system.

A big thank you to you all, for taking the time to share all of your thoughts and experiences with me.

Best wishes to you all!

Don

 congrats on your find! As an owner of the CD2MK3 I look forward to your thoughts once you have had time with yours.
