Earlier this week I was looking for reviews that described the resulting sound through the TL5, let alone compared to other transports, but could find none. I'm auditioning a VRDS 701T at the moment.

No, I have changed my mind on those due to reliability issues recently. Two clients of mine have traded for other units due to this.
Belcanto CD2, have procured three O.E. Philips pro 2 mechanism c/w servo drive boards, took some accquiring I can tell you.

Right, I'd missed the HIFI+ article but seen the HiFiPig and PartTime articles. The latter two didn't seem of much use to me to predict the various aspects of sound coming out or compare to others. What little they did say made me wonder if they would be rather soft on HF detail. In forums I could see some people had purchased and passed them on due to not getting on with the sound character, but no explanation what that actually was. Now, the HiFi+ seems to indicate it might not disappoint n HF detail, presence, and energy. |

Bruce, when we demo'ed a CEC, similar priced model, but can't be sure of the model number, it was the most 'analogue' sounding of the 3 we heard. Ended up with a Project RS Box, it was less than half the price and it was only as a back-up/2nd source. If it was to be the main source it would definitely have been purchased, the other one of the trio we heard was an Audio Note, costing £1k more than the CEC.

As Phil guessed, it was gone already this morning.
