Jay’s Audio CD Transport

I’m just curious if anyone has been able to see the black version of either the Jay’s Audio CDT2 or CDT3 in the flesh?

I haven’t been able to see either in person as of yet, but all of the photos I see are usually of the silver version. 

Im wondering what you have thought of the finish quality of the black vs the silver version. 

I ask as my other components are black and I’m just trying to decide which color to go with. 
 

Thank you and best wishes to you all,

Don

Don....I have not heard the Jay’s Audio unit But I have owned a CEC TL-5 now for almost 3 years.The BELT drive is just like a turntable) I believe it is superior to a direct when it comes to motor noise and rumble. This is the quietest transport I’ve ever heard. Quiet Black backrounds are eerie in the way they present music. There is a magic there!....Just my opinion and I have never had to replace the belt yet. .. They give you an extra one)

Don.....I spent alot of $$ on a top of the line Marantz unit with a drawer. I've had it in for repair 3 times because the drawer won't open when a cd is in the unit or close ( I have to push the drawer in to close it.) The Top loader for me is the best. It also allows me to put a stabilizing disc on top of the cd and then the supplied "weight" goes on top of that. ( This is something you don't read about very often, but it changes the sound dramatically) ...If you love vinyl, the CEC will suit your taste very nicely. Good Luck to you.
