Have had my BC CD3T for 6 years and nary a problem, knock on wood.
Next transport will be a Heed Audio.
@robshaw Hope you recover quickly.
Was coming from a Bel Canto CD3T, which had numerous issues.
New Project RS2T transport
I have had one already and sent it back, did not work at all upon receipt. Dealing with the Music Room though is a pleasure. Will always do business with them. Had unit replaced with a new one, just arrived Yesterday, Sunday afternoon 7-25-22. Hooked it up and SAID WOW!!! I have a Meitner MA-1 DAC and the synergy is Fabulous. Right out of the box it sounded, GREAT. So very OPEN. I have been blessed when upgrading several pieces to be totally surprised by the improvements. VERY Audible!
I am somewhat concerned though as there have been a great deal of posts about quality control issues. (see first sentence) As I said unit sounds GREAT, very impressed. HOWEVER, if anyone can comment that owns one, I noticed when placing the little magnetic puck on the disc that it just sits atop the center spindle and does not contact disc. The magnetic puck has a female center on the underside that goes over a very small male metal protrusion. (SPINDLE) I would think that it should go over that spindle totally and meet the disc firmly. (no space between disc and puck??? When I place puck on top of CD, It appears that the machining on the underside of the hole should be a MM wider so it doesn't sit atop the spindle and drops down totally on the disc. Hope this makes sense. Thanks Robert TN Ps would like to thank Charles1 DAD for encouraging me to stick with transport. It is that GOOD!!! Just wondering if they all are designed to do what I am experiencing?

Thank you all for your thoughts. Today is a much better day for me,(usually a healthy ox) recovering quickly i hope. A very successful day with the RS2T. Turned it on and it acted as it should. Two hours of various Rock and Roll artists. Pink Floyd, Def Leopard, Led Zeppelin. Emerson lake and Palmer, Rush, Great White etc. all playing wonderfully!!!. My fingers hurt having crossed them continually. Out of such a small box, yielding such a great sound. I stream qobuz now and again, and when I play my Cd's with this Transport, I still can't believe that they can sound this GOOD!!! For the person that asked and others, if curious. System is as follows:: Tekton Double Impacts (upgraded) SVS SB 4000 SUB, Meitner DAC MA-1, Benchmark LA-4 Line AMP, ATI 6002 AMP and of Course the RS2T CD transport. No real Hi-End cables, just good upgrades over stock, Wire World Electra power cables. My acoustics in my shop area, that I have designated as a listening area are superb, why, I have no Idea, played as everyone does with there speaker placement, just luck I guess, IN THAT REGARD. System all Balanced. Hope I can come back shortly with a positive review continuing. Robert |
Yes Robert. One of my earliest realizations when I first put the RS2T in my home system. I thought, diminutive shoebox size component yielding (contributing to) a big, open and resolved soundscape. It's good to know that you are rapidly improving and feeling better. Charles |
@robshaw Glad to hear you are hearing the sound you wanted. Hopefully, you recovery is quick and complete. |
