I would put my redoubtable CEC TL-1X (modded by RAM and updated by Nick Gowan at True Sounds)up against any current transport, without regard to price.

Improvement in CD player transports
Have transports improved over the years the way DACs have? I have a Cary Audio Xciter DAC and have an Acurus CD player and a Music Hall CD 25.2. Not sure which to use as the transport. The Acurus is built like a tank and has the air constrained dampening, but the Music Hall is a lot more current component. Opinions are welcome. Rest of my system is on Audiogon. Upgraded to MartinLogan Electromotions and the PrimaLuna Dialogue 2 since it was posted. Thank you.
