pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3

@dafox I don't owned ether of these transports.  However, I am currently in the market for a dedicated CD Transport and as a result, I have been doing a lot of reading on the Jay's, the Project and the CEC's.

From my readings, if I remember correctly, if people have been able to get a Project that is not defective, they have really loved the sound they get from using it.  But, it sounds like there may have been a lot of faulty Project units, to the point that they had stopped selling them until they could find a reliable fix for the faults that were occurring.  I am not aware that they have yet started selling the Project again.

If anyone knows differently, please correct me if I am wrong, as I think the Project could have a lot to offer for a reasonable price no less.

Best wishes,

Don

@dafox By the way... how have you been enjoying your CDT2MK3?

How long have you had it?

What other transports have you compared with it?

Which transport did it replace?

Thank you,

Don

For those of you who own or have owned the Project transport, I’m just wondering how it is in use?  

For instance, it appears that it only weighs a few pounds. Do you find that it slides around as you are raising or lowering the lid while loading or unloading your cd’s?

When using the LTA LPS power supply, how far away do you need to keep it away from the transport? 

Is the player quit or can you hear it spinning?

Is there anything that you don’t like about it???

Thanks much!

Don

@lak Hello and thank you for your reply!

It's good to know that the transport does not move around at all while operating it's lid.

So are you saying that you are using Project's own upgraded LPS?  

Do you have the LPS siting right beside the transport or is it best to keep them far apart?

Would you be willing to share with me what other transports you have used and how the Project differs in sound qualities from the others?

I have just recently bought the LTA Aero Dac and am in the market for a new transport and am considering the Project, Jay's Audio and CEC.

I am concerned with all of the Q.C issues the Project seems to be having.  I'm not even sure if I can find one in stock at the moment.

Thank you and best wishes to you,

@lak Thank you for your reply!  It's good to know that you can have the LPS next to the transport and not hear any interferences.  I, like you, am running out of shelf space too and was thinking that with the Project being so diminutive in size, it might make sense to have both pieces side by side.

Thank you for your help!
