Jay’s Audio CD Transport

The TEAC CG 10 Clock is a new one to me to ass to the list. The model has been seen for £800 as a used sale item. I will be looking into this model further.  

I have a PS Audio Perfect Wave Memory Player, which I was able to acquire for a very reasonable cost as a used sale item.

I was quite new to Digital as Source when this Transport was purchased, and can't say how it performs in comparison to other Transports of the reputation discussed in this Thread.

A HiFi Dealership is based approx' 20 miles from my home, who as part of their product line, offers Jay's Audio Transports. I have been tempted on a few occasions to pursue the experience of Jay's Transports but do not see myself as a buyer, so did not want to Tyre Kick. Maybe I should be more open minded and present myself as potential future customer, the impression made from the experience might just create such a mindset.

As for the PW Transport, there is plenty of guidance that is discoverable, that directs an individual to successfully exchange the Transports CD Drive as a DIY Task. Spare CD Drives can be bought for back up for reasonable monies. 

There is a Gon Forum Member who has the TEAC VRDS 701t.

In their system it was coupled to a off board Esoteric Clocking Device? The outcome being the pairing transformed the Transports capabilities for an improved end sound substantially.

Not all, will be able to use a Clock as the one mentioned, it is costly, but Clocking Devices are to be found, as well as models that are now with DIY Tweaks that can be added. I am keen to dip my toes into the Waters to learn what can be achieved using the add on Clocks. 

@no_regrets I myself have had my own thoughts on the addition of the expensive device used as the Clock.

Where I settled was that there are always going to be add on devices that will be very beneficial, and keeping an eye out for discussions being had that cover such devices that can be acquired for much more reasonable monies will hopefully prove good for the VFM factor.

I am at present picking up on the DIY element of tweaking devices outside of a Warranty Period.

The PS Audio Perfect Wave used with my Bespoke Built Valve DAC, has changed my thoughts about a Digital Source being used forever. I see the Clock side as a investigation worth investigating and maybe could get access to a loaner model at some time.

I know and know of individuals who are modding Mutech MC 3 Models, whose reports are claiming a lot has been achieved on betterment.

A Proprietor of a HiFi Dealership who I do not know, has compared modded Mutech MC 3's to very very expensive Digital Source devices and is certain the Mutech MC 3 modded, is a great VFM venture, and should not be overlooked.

I thoroughly encourage the use of the owned CDT's but as always in Audio Equipment Ownership, the 'What If Moment of Thought' very close to surfacing. There is no harm in learning cost effective ways to further investigate options on sound being produced.
