Thoughts On Used CEC TL 2 X


Hi
I am presently using a Micromega Solo H as a CD transport to a PS Audio Direct Stream DAC.

There is a deal available on a used CEC TL 2 X. It seems to be in OK condition but is I guess long in the tooth being from the mid to late 90’s - so easily about 20 years old.

The Micromega is a musical transport but I would like a fuller and warmer sound which I surmise the CEC gives, at the expense of more woolly bass.
Would this be considered and upgrade or simply a lateral move?

Thanks

I have owned several CEC belt drive transports. The belt stretches over time. They are silly expensive and a PITA to replace
CD players are not likely to be warm sounding unless they have tubes.
Better option is to get a EL 34 tube amp
