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!
You are very welcome. Thanks for the wonderful feedback! So sorry to hear for your health issues and hope things improve for you. I also found my Jay's CD2MK3 to make an improvement in my system. I haven't put many hours on it over summer since I purchased it in April, that will change over the winter months. Based on others experience I look forward to improvements with additional hours. Take care of yourself and let the music heal. Mike |
@mesch Thank you, Mike for your well wishes...much appreciated! I wanted to attach a pic of the Jay’s Audio transport and of my system in my above post, but I am so terribly technically challenged, that I failed, lol. However, I am not one to give up... so trying yet again Here is the Jay’s on the top shelf with the Mojo Mystique X-24AM Dac directly below it.
My Linn LP12 in custom Brazilian Rosewood Plinth, Naim Aro Tonearm, Benz Ruby Zebra Wood Bodied MC cartridge.
My custom EL84 amplifier with vintage iron from Pilot, utilizing NOS tubes from Mullard. My Single Ended 845 Triode power amplifier with NOS tubes to the right.
My Wavestream Kinetics Deluxe Reference Level 5.1 All Tube Phono Amp on the top shelf to the right. My First Sound Presence Audio dual mono tube line stage on bottom shelf middle.
My Dunlavy SC-IV Signature loudspeakers.
Thank you all for joining me in my home-audio journey! Best wishes to you all, Don |
@no_regrets That's a really tempting looking system you've got there. I'm just wondering...you were really complimentary of the LTA, so what does it lack that makes the more expensive MOJO the final choice? |
After decades of being an audiophile, I think that I have finally reached my goal for my in-home listening pleasure.
