The Jay’s transport I purchased from GroovySauce a week ago has been up and running in my system for a couple of days now.  Moving from an Oppo UDP-205 (being used primarily as a transport) to the Jay’s has transformed the sound of my system in every way imaginable.  The Oppo sounded really good, but the Jay’s is so superior in its ability to reproduce music, that it makes the Oppo sound broken—seriously broken!  Whatever aspect of music reproduction you consider, the Jay’s is miles ahead of the Oppo.  The CD2T Mk3 is a spectacular performer, and I highly recommend it to those still playing CD’s on a regular basis.  

On top of its spectacular musicality, its looks and build exude quality.  It’s hard to comprehend how or why this thing is selling for $2500, because it looks and feels like something that would cost $10,000 or more.  This transport is truly impressive!  

I’m using a Wireworld Goldstar 7 coax cable, which is a high quality cable and seems to work quite well.  I wish I had a hdmi cable of the same caliber to do a comparison, but all I have is an entry level Pangea hdmi cable.  

For quite some time I had been toying around with the idea of buying an Audiolab or Cambridge transport, but the reality is, neither would have been quite up to par with the rest of my system.  Since the mid-70’s, when Linn was claiming that source components were the most important pieces in audio systems, I’ve bought into that theory.  So why have I been upgrading everything else besides the source?  I don’t know, but I sure am happy with this purchase.  Some day I will definitely get a Terminator to replace the Pontus, but I need to lay low for a time to allow my wife to recover from the sudden shock of another new piece of audio gear.

You guys are very convincing (or I'm highly suggestable lol) cuz I just ordered a CDT2 (and the upgraded clamp). Shipping in 3 to 4 weeks. This has been in my head for a while so you can't take all the credit but you've pushed me over the top. The Terminator 2 + Gaia has really taken digital to an amazing level for me, and I'm really looking forward to what the new transport will do for my CD collection, which is only continuing to grow.

Well, my CDT2 has been burning in for about 36 hours and I'm very impressed. It is every bit as much of an upgrade as the Terminator 2 + Gaia, which is exactly what I was hoping for. If you have a substantial CD collection that you plan on spinning well into the future it would be an investment that pays for itself many times over IMO.

And long live physical media!
