Jays CD2- Mk3 CDT vrs CEC-TL5 CDT


I have narrowed it down to these two units. I haven't heard back from Tom, at Audio Union, in Springfield, MO. yet.( Good company and good service or not ?) Apparently they handle the CEC units in the states. I believe they also service them in MO. Also, Not sure,  as he hasn't answered my e-mail yet. Also the CEC's are belt driven. Not sure if that's good or bad, or makes little difference? They are also more expensive than the JAYS. Jays warranty is one year, and unknown at this time about CEC's? They both appear to be outstanding units. They will be matched up with my Meitner MA 1-V2 DAC. If anyone can shed a little light on this topic, it would be great. Thanks Robert TN

Great call with Project RS2T cd transport. If I ever venture into a CD player, the RS2T would be one of my top contenders. If one is seeking top performance from CD’s, a transport like RS2T is the way to go with a flexibility of an external DAC. I don’t spin CD’s nowadays since founding a very elegant solution to enjoy my CD’s without the need to fork money for a top end player. 

Enjoy your favorite tunes and happy holidays!
