Stable Platter Transports

Hello all,

I'm a fan of the sound I get from my EAD T-1000 transport, which I've had in my system for 6 years or so.

I am putting together a higher end system for the listening room, and am thinking about the CD transport as the last item to complete the arrangement.

I am thinking about getting a used transport so I can get another that uses the Stable Platter mechanism. Any suggestions on high quality transports?

I know about the EAD Ultradisk 2000, which was their last CD only transport, and that is probably my frontrunner right now.

I would be interested in any other transport suggestions that will fall in the $1000 dolllar range. I guess Theta used the S.P. for some transports? Who else?

Associated Equipment:

EAD Theatermaster 8 Signature
Pass Labs X-150
Synergistic cables
Hales Concept 3 speakers

Thanks everyone, and have a great holiday season.

I used to have an EAD T-1000 transport, and it was quite
decent, especially at the price. However last year I sold
it and upgraded to a Levinson #37 transport. There is no
comparison. Bass is much deeper and tighter, highs have
less edge and steeliness, imaging is more expansive with
greater depth. You can occasionally find a 37 for around
$2000-2200. The new Levinson 390 transport/DAC combo is
supposed to be superb, but lots more money.
