Being a dealer for both the Audiomeca and Audio Note,the Audio Note CDT2 wins hands down simply because of the best parts used,Philips pro laser mechanism and Black Gate caps throuhgout.I have haerd the Vecteur and for money ,is not a bad piece.
Audio Note, Vecteur, Audiomeca transports..HELP
I'm looking to by a used transport, (or in the case of Vecteur, new because of their ridiculously low prices). I've been researching for a couple weeks now and have my shortlist narrowed to:
Audiomeca Mephisto II
Audio Note CDT2
Vecteur L4
I was also considering CEC TL1 or TL2, but my research has shown that CEC transports sound a little slow, and perhaps thick. (I also have read that CEC transport mechanisms are well built, but the lasers and other internal parts arent the greatest quality......any comments?)
The Vecteur L4 is actually a CD player, but I've heard that as a transport it beats Vecteurs own dedicated transport, the D2 transport. Any thoughts? My dac is the Kora Hermes, latest edition before the new HermesII. I'm big on soundstaging, and fast transients.....one reason why I took the CEC off my shortlist....speed.
