I had CEC transports, the big issue was the belts stretch regularly (unless they’ve corrected the cause) and the company prices replacements as though they are made of gold.
I just checked the price of the Jays 3/3: GULP, but to use a line from an old Paul Simon song from One Trick Pony, if you want some quality, that’s that’s the price you got to meet, but $4995? Yikes.
You might try Pro-Jects DS3 CD player, which has a massive aluminum chassis provides the best basis for the CD drive and which incorporates the Blue Tiger CD-80 servo developed by Stream Unlimited from the RS 2T. I am curious to discover whether it is significantly better than my Audiolab CDT 6000, also a slot loader
