What do you consider to be
The Jay's Audio MKII transport, if you mean a dedicated CD spinner.  Take a look on the threads on it, along with Six Moons website review.

Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear.
Hey mofojo,You tickle my funny bone with this question! I purchased both speakers after reviewing them and use them in my different systems. Which do you like better a Porsche or Ferrari sports car? Oh, I’m sure you believe I have an underhanded a... 
Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear.
