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
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?

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. |
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 hth

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 |
