I didn't say that you can't hear any different but for the £2000 transport and the cheaper one I just can't justify paying the extra. Transport now a day is a dvd rom base which will read disc without problem. The power supplies does, however, contributed to the signal. (that's why some of them is so heavy). The best transport for the money is Meridian 200 series cd player or Marantz cd 80, both can be had for around £200 ish, 2nd hand.
