Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3


@jaymark and @charles1dad are owners of the Project PS2 Transport and loving it.  I am between the Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 and the Project.   However, did anyone compare the NEW 2019 Jay's Audio CD2 Mk3 rather than the prior model Mk2?  Steve Guttenberg reviewed them both and found significant improvement in the Mk3 version sonically.   How close are they now as the Jay's is $2500 and the Project with LTA power is closer to $4,000 (with taxes)?

I don’t blame you for your frustration given the excessive wait time. I ordered my Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2 transport in early November and it was delivered in 2 weeks. As I’ve posted before it is stunningly good sounding in my audio system.

People can go back and forth about which transport sounds better between it and the Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK III. Have at it, I just believe that music lovers will be exceptionally happy with either. If the latest Jay’s Audio transport is going to actually utilize the Stream Unlimited CD-Pro-8 drive mechanism, that’s a very wise decision.

That new technology drive/Blue Tiger servo mechanism plays a hugh role contributing to the superb sound quality of the Pro-Ject RS2T. Either CD transport would simply be an excellent choice. It's very difficult for me to bring listening sessions to an end, utterly enraging presentation.

Yes, I saw it in Alvin's email in my inbox this morning. Looks nice.
