CD Transport for the next 10 years.....


I'm in process of buying used transport which expected to be used for the next 10 years to come. My short list compose of Sonic Frontiers SFT-1, Wadia 20, and Krell KAV-250cd. Sonic Frontiers cost about 50% of Wadia and cost about 85% of Krell. Which one would you recommend ?

Associate gears are EAD Signature Pre/Proc, Jeff Rowland 5 amp, and B&W 802 S3 speaker. My music preference are Smooth Jazz and Acoustic Jazz especially acoustic guitar, piano, and saxophone.

Thanks in advance.

I'd have to say the #37. I have never owned a #31, but I'm sure it is built like a tank. There have been write-ups (stereophile) that prefered the sound of the #37 to the #31--but as we know it's very system dependent and listener preference certainly plays a role at that level. They are both excellent, and the one that is right for you probably has more to do with your budget--they'll both last 10 years easy. Also, I recently bought a Genesis digital lens. It improved the sound, but the odd thing is, that it doesn't measure any jitter from the #37. It did at first--but now that everything has been hooked up and on 24/7--no jitter.
