Hey guys, I'm looking for an affordable cd transport to use in my bedroom, probably in conjunction with the upcoming Schiit Statement Dac and Amp as well as the LCD 2 rev 2s. My budget is around $500, since I already have a world class transport in my main setup. 
Please throw up some recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I'd look for an older Rega Planet. I have one of the original ones and it works great as a transport.

Also, the build quality is nice and the cast aluminum case looks terrific. You should be able to find one for well under $500.

Find yourself a Pioneer Elite PD-65.  Stable platter design -- still an absolutely terrific transport.

How about the Little Dot CDP_I CD Transport?

Where were you two months ago when I was selling my Pacific Valve Vanguard CDM 12?
 
Also, if you don't know about Audiogon take a look there for used gear.

Thanks for the advice guys, may go with the littledot, seems like there isnt really anything that suits me apart from that. After some research, most of the dedicated transports are all high end models like my moon.

I'd avoid anything second hand for CD transport.
