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?

Hey Rob, I used to have 3 WW PCs, one WW series 7 XLR, and series 7 speaker cables. A fellow ’phile told me about these (see link), bought one then quickly the second; one between wall and PLC the other on my power amp. Cheap enough to try and can be returned.

Prior to these, from another forum blog I went to, I spent hours on Ali-Express looking at cables (stupid cheap prices and free returns). I dipped my toe in the water and bought a Nordost Odin 2 Coax knock-off < $100 to replace a Pangea Coax Premier XL ($169) between my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 and it blew me away, this led to slowly replacing all my cables with Odin 2s knock-offs, including all but the one PC between wall and CorePower 1800 PLC, so I bought one (link below), then quickly a second one for my LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp

After break in I treated all connections with Mad Scientist Audio Graphene Contact Enhancer to amazing sonic benefits

Thanks so much for the INFO. I went to the Amazon site you listed, they look beautiful, but, you always wonder the old add-age,UGWUPF, easier to type. I think I may take the plunge and try 2 PC for my AMP as it requires 2 cords. Hope I downloaded your suggestion properly. Robert    $44.85 for a 10 gauge 5' cable Amazon   Hope that's right. TKS

Hi Robert,

I'm just checking in. I hope you're doing much better and that the RS2T continues to serve you well.

Charles 1 dad.  Nice to hear from you. The answer is YES. So far so good. I've listened for maybe about 10 hours thus far without an issue. Started listening to some CD's I haven't heard for years. Kind of opening the door that hasn't been opened in ages and discovering something new. I was afraid to say anything prematurely, lest,  something bad would happen. I am very pleased thus far. Glad I didn't throw in the towel completely. 

Before I look into the LPS I will most likely wait until the Music Room 60 day period expires. It is on my list.   Just wondering if I may pick your brain. I have an ATI 6002 model power amp,(quite robust)and am looking to replace the 2  stock power cords the unit has. Don't want to spend a lot of money in that direction,but, would like to upgrade. The only thing that makes real sense to me is a lower gauge wire cord. Most likely a 10 or 8 gauge. Any thoughts are very much appreciated. Thanks again for checking in. Robert TN  Would like to stay under 6 hundred for both, if possible?  Tks again
