Definitely worth $0.02

Thanks for your comments. You may have saved me a lot of money because the Jay's, either the MK2 or MK3, was tempting. I feel like you, however. Is a $2k transport really needed? Obviously not if the sound isn't incredibly better than units for far less than half the price.

The Audiolab transports do have the slot loading and that's a deal breaker for me. Even the 7000 has it according to pictures.

I'm going to see what's available on the used market. As you know, waiting for the right unit can take some time.

Thanks again.

Pretty sure the 7000 Audiolab has a drawer loader mechanism.

Copied from their website:

"The low-friction loading tray, sturdy aluminium base and chassis of the 7000CDT work to tackle vibrations"

  You're right. I'm used to a larger face on the CD drawer. A slot would simply be black, not matching the silver color of the unit.
