Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge)

Stevecham:
I believe my unit must be faulty, maybe not typical.

stereo5:
I checked the Music Room. no PS Audio transports.
Maybe I have the wrong site.

Itzhak:

Thanks for your recommendation.  This may be exactly what I’m looking for.

Just found a demo model of the Cyrus transport on Analog Seduction for only a couple hundred dollars more than the Cambridge.  Was just about to buy it new, when i happened to see the bargain section.
Am returning the Cambridge.

Twoleftears:

Since I’m still in the trial period, I’m seriously considering returning the Cambridge and going with the Cyrus.
The Cambridge does produce excellent results, but the flaws you mention are hard to live with on a longtime basis. 
I don’t know if I want to spend three times the price for the Cyrus, though. How much  better will it sound on my system? And, it still might caterwaul on pause, one of my main concerns.
The mistracking on the Cambridge is very aggravating, even though I can probably get a new, properly functioning unit.

Still pondering!

Itzhak:

Thanks for the recommendation. 
Audio Advisor wants $1599.00 for it.
Analogue Seduction a few hundred less, new.

I’m In the US.

I didn’t realize it was a “ slot machine” until a couple of days ago.
Probably  wouldn’t have influenced my decision to buy anyway. The deal was too good.
I’ve read some very good reviews of ithe Cyrus on British sites.
Hopefully it plays at least as good as the Cambridge, which has great sound, but too many drawbacks.e

Just got the Cyrus transport.
At first hearing, it’s more detailed than the Cambridge and has better bass.
It’s a pleasure to be able to program a selection instead of creeping up to it.
And, blessedly, there is  no noise in the pause position, and no mistracking.
So far, a happy result.

Thanks, Itzhak, for the tip!

Itzhak,

Thank you.  I’m very happy with it.

itzhak,

Good move! On your recommendation, I got the Cyrus and returned the CXC.
Too many problems with it.
