I don't think the Avatar is available anymore, and Jays also makes a CDT2 MkIII for $2500
Seeking a new CD Transport
Seeking a new CD Transport and have looked at the following:
The approximate retail cost is listed next to each transport. Looking for the best transport I can purchase with a maximum budget of $2500.00
- SMSL PL-200T $500.00
- Denafrips Avatar $2699.00
- Jays Audio CDT3 MkIII $5000.00
- Shanling ET-3 900.00
- Shanling Onix-Zenith Sacd$2400.00
- Audiolab 9000 CDT $1500.00
- Teac VRDS 701T $3000.00
We all know that just because a unit is priced higher does not mean it sound better or that it is the best value for the dollar. Any recommendations would be helpful. My system is as follows: JBL 4349 horn loudspeakers, Weiss Dac 204 with Modwright power supply, Lumin u2-mini with LHY power supply, Conrad Johnson ET-7 line stage, 2 svs subs, and a Bryson 4B3 cubed power amp.
