If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money

@ Teajay,

As far as you know are there any significant differences in quality/durability between the CDM4 mechanism (as implemented in the CDT2 MK2) and the CD PRO2 (as implemented in the CDT3 MK2)? BTW, Vinshine's website makes it rather easy to wrongly interpret that the PRO 2 is the basis for both units unless one reads both product descriptions thoroughly.

@garrard... Obviously, he is not and he will summarily ignore any and all inquiries made of him regarding the subject. Ask me how I know.

@jriggy   You nailed it. Emails to him at 6 Moons and inquiries by me in active threads where he has mentioned the transport have all gone unacknowledged. In each case the single question posed by me was where/when can I find the review of the Jay's transport.

@ nonoise   Thanks for posting that link. Unfortunately, that review is not authored by TJ and I had already seen it when it was originally put up. And I have no quibble with any of the conclusions reached. But that does not let TJ off the hook for repeatedly dodging the seemingly innocuous/harmless question of when/where can we expect to find HIS review of this product.

All the best.

@teajay     I thought long and hard about whether to respond to your recent post and, as I guess you can see, I decided to go for it in order to provide a little clarity.

In Aug. 2018 you started this thread to announce to the world your upcoming review of the (then misidentified but later corrected) Jay's CDT2 MK2. Less than three weeks later you posted to announce that your listening notes were complete (signalling to the average reader that a review was imminent) and then about 6 weeks later, in a response to a poster asking the whereabouts of the review, you stated that there were three reviews in the queue ahead of the Jays so it would still be a while and that was the last we heard of it. Okay...fine.

You had made some mention of the transport in other threads as well and it was in one of these that I inquired about the status of the review, on two different occasions, I believe, after more time had passed. At some point I sent either one or two emails to you at 6 Moons again asking about review status. You say you didn't get these and I accept that. And maybe you didn't see my posts inquiring as to the reviews either...I don't know. But obviously I wasn't the only one left hanging. In this very thread there are minimally two and I think it's actually three different posts spanning some six months by @garrard directly and unambiguously asking for the same exact information. Crickets! His last post on this subject was answered by me, as you know, and apparently it was in a manner which finally got you riled up enough to make an appearance. And based on what you said, we finally now can confirm what I have suspected for a while and relayed to @garrard. So, in the end, I think my "accusation" is warranted and sustainable and that you could have handled the situation a little bit more forthrightly. But having said all that, I don't want to make this mole hill into a mountain, it's not the end of the friggin' world and I, for one, am ready to move on. Hope that suits you too.

BTW, you mention a thread entitled "Jay's Audio CDT-3: Impressions of a great CD transport". I cannot recall seeing it and I would very much like to but when I enter that title verbatim and letter for letter in the search function, I get "0 results found". Should it read CDT-2 instead? Would you be so kind (or anyone else, for that matter) to link it so I can have a looksee.

Peace

@aolmrd1241     Thanks for taking the time to post the link, I guess I'm just snake bit with it, though, as I cannot seem to be able to click on it and open it in spite of the fact that I have no such problem with any other links up and down this thread. The fact that I am nowhere near computer savvy isn't helping any either.

@teajay This my absolute last time to drag this issue through the mud yet again. My apologies are to all the folks who have had to watch this little soap opera unfold.

As I explained earlier today I have made a total of four attempts to reach you to find out the when/where of your review. Two of them were by email, the other two via inquiries in existing threads where the CDT2 was a topic of conversation. You have stated that you didn’t get the emails. Again, fine. Did you not see my inquiries as well? You have never said one way or the other. Additionally, another poster, @garrard, has been asking you for months on this very same thread the exact same question I have and they are explicit posts comprised of one single sentence. You at no time spent a minute to communicate with him either so either ALL of these attempts have flown under your radar (possible) or you’re ignoring them. Only you know what the real scenario is. Looking at your history, it is obvious you stay connected with your active threads and seem to answer questions posed by others so I am baffled as to why this one particular inquiry as posed to you by multiple individuals cannot/has not been dealt with similarly. So I will decline your provided opportunity to present an apology to you. I hope you can understand.

And finally, I’m not an egomaniac with a fragile self righteous ego to protect. I want nothing from you as recompense. As I said above, I’m just baffled how something so straightforward and innocuous as asking a question/expecting a simple answer has gotten to this point.

@teajay To answer your question is yes. Unfortunately about five minutes ago was the very first time, though. I didn’t even remember that thread existing until you mentioned it earlier and I then asked someone to post the link so I could see what you were talking about, but the link won’t open, thus causing further delays. But to your credit, it does give a credible explanation for the whys and why nots of the ill fated review. Obviously, I wish I had seen it in a timely fashion and none of this subsequent discourse would have occurred.

So in light of this recent development I want to offer sincere apologies for casting negative aspersions your way. Taking into account that I did not have exposure to this information til just now, I hope you can understand why I felt my simple question was being ignored. But just as i am offering up mea culpas to you now, you might consider doing the same for @garrard. As pointed out previously, his two/three "where’s the review" inquiries were, indeed, not responded to and he cannot be held accountable for failing to stumble across the post in the other thread that gave the answers.

In terms of the dealings between us, you are exonerated and I hope this will finally put the matter to bed. It’s just audio, folks.

Repeace
