| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports Mine is the CEC TL3N model. Not sure if it's still available. | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports No experience with Jay's but have owned a CEC since the North American distributor was in Canada. I've used it off and on for years with no problems. Would describe it as "smooth" "relaxed". Too smooth? Would depend on your system. | |

| Wadia 521 Remote When I needed a replacement remote for a 27i and 270 transport, I put out a few wanted ads, found and purchased. | |
| Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube? I became aware of the Apos Ray tubes recently. Would definitely give them a shot. Please keep us in the loop on these. | |
| Who still does mods for CD players Had my Wadias modded by Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound back in the day. I think he's now at Boulder Audio last I heard. |
