Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?
I recently upgraded from the Cdt2MK3 to the Cdt3MK3 and I am not pleased. The CDT3MK3 skips on CDs that I’ve been playing on the CDT2 for two years without a problem. Anyone else with a similar experience?
Yes, that could be some of it. The CDT3 is 2500.00 more than the CDT2. I wouldn’t expect it to make three quarters of my CDs useless. I sold my CDT2 too quick I think. stereophile magazine had a review that stated the CDT3 did very well when testing for skipping and far exceeded the standards for acceptance. I think I have a problem with this one. |
I have both units - the CDT2 Mk3 is an emergency backup. Most of my CD's are recorded on Plexdisc CD-R's from downloaded Quobuz .wav files. If a given CD starts to pop here and there from wear, it is freshly recorded from my computer on a new disc using JRiver. You do have to keep the laser lens clean. Plexdisc CD-R's are allegedly thicker than most blank CD's, and I have fewer issues with these compared to any other blank CD-R's. Amazon stocks them. |
@bolong Since you have both units, please answer this question. When you are finished playing a CD on the CDT3 MK3, do you remove the CD and then place the stabilizer back on the platter? When I do that, I close the lid and I can hear the laser rubbing the stabilizer twice before it stops and the display reads "no disc". I would think it should not rub the stabilizer. |
