cec tl-5 oem usa version

 

I believe the TL5 went to a single belt at some point.  I wonder if this has elevated its sound.  It has gotten some sterling reviews.  Wonder how it compares to the Jays audio version in its newer configuration.

Buy the C.E.C TL5 for $1100....same sound as the Jay's @ $2495.....crazy. Don't throw your $ out the window.

kully560,I have just recently been considering selling my CEC TL-1X. If you’re still looking let me know.

Hey @audio-Union: your website’s contact us feature does not work.

email

kully560 your attempt at contacting the North American distributor apparently did not make it to the distributor. What method did you use?

I just noticed this thread. Audio Union in Springfield Missouri is the US and Canada distributor for CEC products.

@kully560 - the CEC that you emailed on was my friends.  I did the conversion for the unit to the USA standard.  The distributor in Canada is no longer and the US distributor sells the US version at a much higher price.

I had a different experience between the Jays Audio transport - I have also posted my experience on a different thread.

The unit you referred two is in perfect shape and probably has 50 hours on it.  I know my friend will reply to your question or you can send me a message and I can answer any questions for you also.

Happy Listening.

I sent CEC an email yesterday for a dealer list in north America but they have not reply back . I really do not want to order from over seas due to all the flights being canceled . jays audio said approx. 7 days for player to be shipped and at least 4 weeks for delivery. the CEC players I see are sold in japan who know how long that shipping will take . it seems like both transports are not stock in north America .I really do not want to take a chance of not knowing when it will show up , it starting to look like it could take several months .

When I purchased my CEC CDT the North American distributor was in Canada.
I believe there is now a USA CEC distributor.

thanks I will . 

also is there any usa or Canada  dealers for the cec transports?

thank you for that info on the jumper settings . I emailed the seller for  the  cec tl-5 player but he has not got back to me yet if it is still for sale . there was some info I read that if you want the usa version it must bought from somebody in Canada . I see these units all over ebay for sale so if all you have to do is make a jump  switch it should be the same unit . why some reviews say there are gray units out there ?I found out where to buy the jays audio online which is better than buying on ebay, but they are twice the price of the cec tl-5 players . so is it twice as good, with  these days the home demo is not possible ? 

From the inside view of tl-5, voltage conversion can be done by jumper setting.

thanks for the response and help . is ebay the only place to buy the jays transport?

Hey kully560,

I have both transports in-house and the Jay's Audio is the better sounding of the two.  Has the warmth of the CEC, but much better clarity and soundstaging.  It also is built to a much higher standard then the CEC.  It more expensive but worth the up charge in price.

thanks I sent him an email it might be the 100v version with a upgraded power supply to 120v for usa
