| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @dafox By the way... how have you been enjoying your CDT2MK3? How long have you had it? What other transports have you compared with it? Which transport did it replace? Thank you, Don | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @dafox I don't owned ether of these transports. However, I am currently in the market for a dedicated CD Transport and as a result, I have been doing a lot of reading on the Jay's, the Project and the CEC's. From my readings, if I remember corre... | |
| Jays Audio cdt2 mk3 burn in and user experiences Hello, I'm currently in the market for dedicated cd transport and the Jay's Audio is one that is currently on my short list. However, when I consistently read that it takes 500+ hours and months of play time for this transport to "burn-in"; it i... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @chayro Oh, I understand now. Thank you for the clarification. I'm using a high purity oxygen free copper cable with WBT connectors by Mark Grant from the Naim CDS into my line stage. All other cables throughout my system are by Acoustic Zen Ab... | |

| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @bigkidz Hello and thank you for your post. When I did my search prior to creating this thread, I only came across one thread (back in June of 2022) and it quickly turned into a discussion about the Project transport and LTA linear power supplies... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @chayro Hi, I'm using the "Super Burndy" which connects the CDSII to the XPS. Is that what you are asking me? I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding. Best wishes, Don | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @mbmi I love your excitement you have regarding the CEC/Laiv! I'm curious, what other cd transports have you compared with the CEC? How did they compare or differ in sound? Thank you for your post! Best wishes, Don | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @whart I appreciate your recent post! It seems as though you and I may be somewhat similar. I do a lot of research, auditioning in home when possible, etc before buying a piece of gear. I too have been lucky in that I've been very happy with th... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @alexberger Hello and thank you for your post! I will try and investigate the SHANLING ET3 or SMSL PL200 that you have mentioned. Best wishes, Don | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @chayro I have to believe that the TL5 with an Audio Note Dac 2.1 Signature is an amazing sounding digital rig! I think overall the Naim does a pretty good job. It's dynamic, full sounding with great soundstagning. But it still sounds digital t... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @oddiofyl Thank you for sharing your comments! The Teac is a great machine by many accounts and I hope it gives you many years of great and reliable service. I think I am personally leaning more towards a top loading machine myself. Best wishes... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @chayro Thank you for your reply! Yes, the CDT3 is a heavy beast at 50lbs. However, the CDT2 only comes in at 33 lbs, still heavy, but more manageable. I'm happy to hear that you've been enjoying your CEC! Which dac are you using with it? Doe... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @rsf507 @larsman @oddiofyl Thank you to all of you for your posts! I agree with you. I have read from many that as good as streaming can sound, even with a very expensive streamer, a top notch cd transport and dac will outperform the strea... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @whart Thank you for your reply! I've been a vinyl guy for 50 years and love my analog rig and all my minty lp's. However, I am noticing there is some great music that I am missing out on that I can't get on vinyl, hence the reason I am trying t... |
