CEC - how are they these days?

Thanks, all of you.
I will think about Accuphase, too, Kelly. Since there is no mention on its HP about US distribution, I emailed its Japan rep, who in turn forwarded to Parasound. The President himself of Parasound very promptly returned email. I was very impressed. According to him, there is no stock in Japan or US, and new line production is running for come-back in May. I can't wait, while I don't know why CEC has kept low profile for sometime. Any ideas?
Question for owners: I remember from old days that belt drive TT required periodical replacement of belt. How are your CEC?
Next: My other equipment are, PT's P1/P3/Monolithic D2D/DAC combo, Sonus Faber Signum speakers, driven by Sonus Faber Musica integrated, via DH Labs cables all around the system. What do you think is the "matching" level of transport in this system? I am not saying that I am happy with my current Pioneer DV525 (mod) as transport, but I am looking for something better, like many of you. As you may guess from the line-up, my music is totally classic (especially strings). Simply put, what transport would you put in this system? Or do you see any other significantly weak link here? Please feel free to shoot honest opinions.
Thanks! Ken

Oops. I meant "I am not saying that I am UNhappy with my current Pioneer DV525 (mod) as transport". It sounds great (thanks, Dan), except for the occasionally annoying spinnig noise.

My recent short contact with the Parasound is that they have excellent service and prompt return for my 4 years old CEC. The belt in CEC is quite reliable. CEC and perhaps Burmester transport had certain musical quality that's quite different from others. The vocal just seem to sound "right." It does not have the thin sound that's typical in Japanese electronics. And it gives each musical note some weight that makes the presentation more palpable.

Audio Union is the US and Canada distributor for CEC products. The TL1 and the TL51 are no longer available, out of production. Present production of players and transports is CD5, TL5, TL2N, TL0 3

Buy the Pro-Ject audio transport  it is the best so far that I have heard.  Had them all at one point in time.
