Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.

Thought this great news deserved it's own thread. As it's long awaited.
I was sent this link from Alexander of Schiit. They are under staffed at the moment he said with illness.
Schitt’s design team Dave and Ivana talk about a transport somewhere here on a live stream video a couple of weeks ago. https://fb.watch/1w1NgZQhxn/

To show interest, kick them along a little if your waiting for it, send them an email info@schiit.com to ask "how’s it going".
If you get get some info please post it up here, as I’m also waiting with bated breath for one to be released

Cheers George

That Xj13 is a beauty. Thank goodness Jaguar had the presence of mind to resume building the rest of the D-types from the early fifties back in 2018: https://www.dezeen.com/2018/02/08/jaguar-resumes-production-iconic-d-type-racing-car-salon-retromobile/

And if you have any money left over from your audio purchases, you can always request one from their offices, stateside:https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1118322_jaguar-land-rover-building-classic-car-department-in-us

My dad used to work on cars as a side job and brought home a customers XK-120 for me to drive around the block. It was beautiful, but a clumsy car to drive. It could have been just the condition it was in.

All the best,

Well, that cheap CD sled in the TEAC PD-H600 made Product of the Year for Absolute Sound back with it's release. Philips laser sleds are rarer, harder to get and therefore more costly, so there's that. 

It's like Jaguar and their XK-E back in the days. Enzo Ferrari said it was the most beautiful car ever designed and they only fetch a fraction of what a used Ferrari would, due to so many being made compared to the relative scarcity of Ferraris. 

It's all a crap-shoot, really. Good luck.

All the best,

If it's just the CD sled you're worried about, you can find them online a lot easier and cheaper than any Philips unit. I saw some in England going for about $25.

All the best,

   I was going to recommend the TEAC PD-H600 but noticed it's going for over $900 used and when new, sold for $999.
   If you could source one of those from someone who doesn't know any better, you'll get a great, half width sized CDP that's built like a tank, with trickle down from Esoteric. 
 
All the best,
