| Transport to replace my cd player @musichead I was using my Cambridge player as transport, probably very similar to the CXC. IMO the Jay's Mark 2 and 3 are a little better, much better if you put the Jay's on isoacoustic or AV room solutions footers. However, I don't know if it's ... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player Hi Musichead,Yes I got the Jay's CDT mark 2, I have no regrets. I just upgraded to the Mark 3 and going through the burn in process. I just added 3 isoacoustic footers and the improvement was significant. How are you doing?Joe | |

| Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse? I swapped the standard fuses (2) in my CD player with SR blue fuses. The improvement was very noticeable and immediate. I don't understand why it made a difference but it made a happy difference. | |
| Transport to replace my cd player The price I saw on the project was 2999 the jays was just under 2400. I just ordered the Jay’s. With any luck we should both be very happy. | |
| Transport to replace my cd player @nonoise I couldn't find much in terms of reviews on the Pro-ject and it's more $ compared to Jay's, so I'm leaning towards Jay's. @b_limo My digital rig sounds way better with the new DAC and the Cambridge as a transport. I'm excited about what a... | |
| A warm DAC? Consider the audio-gd7 HE 2020 version. If you have a good line conditioner you may not need the HE upgrade and it would fit into your budget. I'm still breaking mine in and after 150 hours in NOS mode, sounds alot like my analog rig. Highly recom... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player @georgehifi. Yes it does but wait time for the player is at least 3 months, if they were in stock, i would order one today. If only I was a patient man!@Soix I looked up Innuos and the Statement looks and is reviewed as amazing but cost way more t... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player I'm a fan of Moon equipment by Simaudio, I had their CD player a few years ago and found it enjoyable. However, I haven't heard the 260D and there are no dealers anywhere near me, I think the closest is in NC. Have you listened to it or are you ju... | |

| want a CD player upgrade Hi Soix,unfortunately they don’t (Hmdt) allow returns their site is clear regarding DACs, all sales are final. Have you heard the Primaluna TUBE DAC? | |
| want a CD player upgrade Hi gang,Your advice is much appreciated, The more I research the more confusing things get, at this point my budget of $2.5K appears to have gone bye bye.@soix I have become interested in the R2R DACs, primarily the Denafrips Terminator and the A... | |
| want a CD player upgrade Thanks for the education. I'm now added MHDT, Luxman, and Audio Mirrors Tubador 3SE to my list. However, I think (hope) I don't pull the trigger unless the dealer has a return policy because I'd hate to buy a piece that doesn't easily best what I ... | |
| Tube rolling McIntosh c2600 preamp? @goheelz Thanks,I wasn't using the TT for listening tests, it's just more difficult listening and playing the same cut on an album you like for fear of damaging the record. But to your point, I wouldn't bet alot on my TT setup being maxed out. I h... |
