Jays CD2- Mk3 CDT vrs CEC-TL5 CDT

should I choose the Project unit, can anyone recommend a compatible Linear power supply. Thanks, As always

Thanks so much  for the added advice. Yes, I have looked at the Project, and it is now after some research, a top contender. Thank you. Robert TN

Does it bother anyone else that the Project Transport CD Box RS2T, being around the 3K price point, comes with a $.50 Wall wart Power supply. Yes, you can buy an upgrade for better sound, but, not really the point, you shouldn't have to.  Comments

jriggy, Thanks very much for the response.  Is there a particular model of theirs or is that it. Tks   afraid to ask $   Robert TN

Thanks so much. Appreciated

In regards to the Audio Union comment. He is totally CORRECT, it was answered very promptly, and thoroughly. When I posted my comment it had to have been prior to receiving his post/answer. It wasn't meant to be a negative, Sorry if it appeared that way. Once answered, I should have responded with a,  thank you, if I did not I apologize. Hope this helps for people considering a CEC unit. Robert TN

lalitk, To answer your question, I bought the Project RS2T transport. I read many reviews and several posts from Charles one dad and others. I initially bought one and had to return it, didn't work. It also happened to me for a second unit. Quality control seemed very poor. The MUSIC ROOM treated me great. They bent over backwards to help out. After some coaxing from others on the forum, I decided , one last try. I suggested to the Music room, and they agreed to open my 3rd unit, and use to make sure there were no issues. I have had it for several months now and no issues to date. I have since mated it with a LTA  Linear power supply. and a wire-world OCC power cord. With a great DAC, it's the best CD transport I've ever heard. I can't say how much better it is than the CEC, or the new Vinshine unit from China,  haven't used them? All i can say it's eye opening better than my Audio lab 6000 transport which is very good in its own right. We are not talking 5 or10% better or your have to listen closely to notice a difference, it's like hearing your CD collection like you've never heard before.  Other than the 2 times the others went back, I guess the 3rd was the proverbial charm.  NO Regrets   Robert TN   Hope this helped!!

Merry Christmas also. Happy  Listening to all!!!! All the folks that have helped me in the decision making process, Thanks Robert
