Jay’s Audio CDT-3 - Impressions of a Great CD Transport
There is now a MK2 version of the Jay's Audio CDT-3 and it has wonderfully built on the what was already a great transport. I love this transport and have bought two of them, one for my speaker system and one for my headphone system. I understand ... 
DENAFRIPS Terminator & Jay’s Audio CDT-3 MK2, A Review
Hi @anwar , I think that break-in is a little over rated. Yes, cartridges need say up to 50 hours and electronics maybe up to 50. I have not noticed in my experience equipment changing in sound past 100 hours. I do think though that equipment that... 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)

@lbelchev Excellent! There is nothing more that needs to be written than your post of quotations.  
Ayre C-5XE MP, Simaudio Moon Andromeda, or Esoteric K-01X
Something you may also want to consider is excellent separates. I have been using an Esoteric K-03x in both a speaker system and a headphones system. I decided to try a DENAFRIPS Terminator DAC and I found its SQ to exceed that of the DAC in the K... 
disc player upgrade bug: Esoteric vs EMM vs PS Audio
I had an EMM CDSD and replaced it with a Marantz sa-7s1 which I used as a transport and found superior.  I replaced the Marantz with an Esoteric K-03x again used as a transport. And this year I took a punt and bought a Jay's Audio CDT-3. This Chin... 
Arche headshell with London Reference cartridge - fantastic results
Thanks for the nice write-up howardalex. I use a FR-7f 6 digit with its integrated headshell in my FR64s, but if I ever need a headshell the Arche would be it. 
Best Record You Have Ever heard
It is impossible for me to pick one best record but I am going to go with one that I have enjoyed consistently for the longest period of time, both musically and sonically. I bought the disc new when it was released in 1979.Rickie Lee Jones' self-...
