Jay's Audio transport

Hi again. Yesterday I started a thread regarding replacing my CEC TL2 transport. I received many helpful suggestions so far and thanks. However my question is directly related to the Jay's Audio product. Are they new to the market? If not how long have they been around? Not much info out there on them other than  one 6 moons review ,and here on Agon.
I spoke with Mike from Mike Powell audio yesterday when I discovered the Jay's Audio transport. He was helpful and raved about the product. Unlike the US rep for CEC he was like trying to extract a answer from a.potato.
I guess were I'm going with this thread is does anyone here have any more info regarding Jay's Audio? I guess I don't want to purchase a fly by night Chinese electronics builder that won't be around for support several years down the road.
Thanks Mark

nonoise,I just read that review. Unless there is another one that is longer than the one I just read on my phone. I saw were Sarjen made no mention and the ease of replacing the transport. If you have that can you put it on this thread so I can see it please? If that is the case then I may reconsider.
Thanks Mark

Here, hopefully, is the page (#6) of the review that states it:

markum01, according to Mike Powell (Jay’s Audio US distributor), the replacement laser is $150 complete while the entire CDM4 assembly with laser is $350 complete. The prices are for ordering non-warranty parts that didn’t fail during the warranty period (otherwise, the parts are free if they fail during the warranty period).

Celander thanks for your input I understand that I can still purchase another spare for that fateful day. Or wait for it to fail 10 years from now only to find that there are no more to be had.
Happy Listening
Mark

I ordered a CDT-2 mk2 last Friday and look forward to hearing it in my system. It will replace a CEC TL-5. I have high hopes for it. This will be my first foray into the Chinese audio market and by all reports its a very solid product, so I'm taking the plunge.
