Theta Data II good transport?


I have the opportunity to get a good deal on a theta data II, but I have never heard one. Is this a good transport and what are it's sonic characteristics? Is it known for anything in particular or is it a pretty neutral transport?
Thanks,

It has a great and detailed sound but to get it serviced is a pain and $$$. It takes a long time to find a first track on CD but if you're patient you won't pay attention to that.
It's heavy and operates with minimal errors(jitter) and doesn't need extra-tweaking. You might get dissapointed on the bad recorded CDs since they will sound worse.
Don't rush onto $$$digital components when you can get loads of music from Micromega stage... even if you get an integrated player instead of transport it will still make a sence to use it as a transport since transports in Micomegas are excellent.
You're right they don't have any new player but if there is a chance to get used one for a-little(range of $300) you won't regret.
...whoever has the luck whoever doesn't. I'm with Muse suggestion also but not realy shure if it outperforms Theta.
