Esoteric or CEC cd-transport


I'm looking for a cheap cd-transport (around 1000-1500 USD). Any ideas what models from Esoteric or CEC fit this price range? Preferably a used one.

The current system is made of Luxman components only - DAC DA-06, C-600F and M-600A amps.

Congrats on getting the CEC transport! They have a very engaging, smooth and effortless sound. Since they're a belt drive design they may require some service over the years, but are much better sounding in my opinion as a transport compared to the Esoteric models.
I haven't seen that mod before either, but it appears to be an external clock input via BNC connector along with a switch to allow the selection of either the internal or external connected clock.
If you don't have an external clock connected I would assume that the switch should be set to "int" for the internal clock to be used.
