CEC TL-1 - CD Transport, RARE and Spectacular Analog Sound

CEC is a Japanese precision bearing and audio component manufacturer trusted as a supplier by many of the highest end audio manufacturers.  When they designed the TL-1 it was from the ground up.  This monumental effort resulted in a 37lb mass of elegance that spins a silver disc as perfectly as possible.  

The transport is belt driven and was specifically designed for the TL-1.  That in itself is unique since most other manufactures use an off the shelf unit from Sony, etc.  Since this is simply a transport that delivers the digital stream to a DAC, its does it just about as good as is possible.  While running at 500 RPM, putting your hand on the unit you feel and hear nothing.  Everything right down to the bearings is precise and built to be the best.

Feed a modern DAC and prepare yourself to hear details and feel emotion unlike you've ever experienced from a CD.

The TL-1 is clean overall.  There are a few small scratches from use and some scuffs on the top left.  Our service department installed all new belts, performed an internal cleaning and thoroughly tested it.  Its ready for years of service.
