CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
I have not heard either CEC transports but will state that I am very happy with my Jay's CD2MK3.   Well built, easy to use, and an across the board improvement to the Cambridge CXC transport.

Pass Labs XA-25.  Several other changes to the system so hard to compare. I will say I probably should have Kept the BEL. I did love that amp.

Check out the SS integrateds for sale here on ag.  Use the 'price low to high' function.

While I have had experience with the Audio Refinement Complete integrated amplifier  and thought it a wonderful unit, I believe the asking price on the one mentioned above is too high. This amp sold  new for ~$1000  about 20 years ago.  
2024 Audio System Wish List
Well, regarding the wish list I posted last December,  I did purchase the Jay's CD2MK3 this spring. It proved to be a well spent upgrade to the Cambridge CXC transport.  Likely not yet fully broken in.
