I know you prefer new, but at your budget I’d definitely go for this used Jay’s Audio CDT2 Mk3 as it’s at a higher level than the others. Seems to be in excellent condition and from a reputable seller who allows for returns if for some reason it doesn’t work out. This one’s a no brainer to me, and best of luck. https://tmraudio.com/components/cd-sacd-players/jays-audio-cdt2-mk3-cd-transport-1/ |
@jetter makes a good point. I actually assumed the CDT2 was discontinued when the CDT3 was introduced but that was incorrect — thanks jetter. The only reputable place I found that sells it new is this one that’s linked through Jay’s website. https://www.beatechnik.com/product-page/cdt2-mk3 Although saving upwards of $500 isn’t insignificant, I tend to agree with jetter that in this case buying new might be money well spent. Frankly, and although $2k does seem to be the going market value for a used CDT2, I’d think around $1500 is much more reasonable and has sold for that amount in the recent past. Not sure why the discount for a used unit is so little these days. Anyway… |
