First growth and Charles 1 Dad Thanks so much for your help. I hope others follow this blog, as the Project RS2T is that good. I think most people (myself being one) look at the price and the diminutive size and immediately dismiss the purchase. (not to mention the quality control issues discussed) If they read this and pay attention, they will be rewarded. The blog has assisted me greatly. Charles one, I will further explore your power cable suggestions. I was going to buy and still may the Cullen Crossover 2 cable, which happens to be 10mm gauge. My only concerns is that Patrick has stated in his e mail, 2 to 3 weeks. However, after doing a little exploring, 2 to 3 weeks may mean 2 to 3 months? His company or he himself may have merged with wyred4sound.com and the back log may be a long time????? Don't know Others that I have considered in Pangea AC 95 SE Mk11 1.5 meters and Shunyata Venom HC V2 also 10 gauge. I will look into your suggestions. Thank you! If anyone else reads this post and has any suggestions, please feel free to suggest anything. I have been very educated as a result of this posting, thank you all!!!! Robert TN
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?

Rob Patrick's father Rick Cullen works for W4S and has for quite some time after shutting down his own shop. Patrick has also worked there on occasion and done some contract for them. Not sure why he would merge with them as they are in the same town. I would also recommend Charles recommendation of the Audio Envy power cables. Give Cap a call and talk to him as he used to have a trial period. Another great internet direct cable is Triode Wire Labs. |
Yep! Triode Wire Lab is another very good option. Robert has some terrific choices to sort through. I’m a strong advocate of improving quality of all things related to AC electrical power. It does matter. Robert, at a further point down the road when you get around to it. When you obtain a high quality LPS (For your RS2T) be sure to use a good quality power cord at this site. All of this stuff really does make a difference in my humble opinion. Charles |
You guys have been great. I really appreciative all your power cord recommendations. Somewhat narrowed down to these four. Cullen crossover 2 5' About $750 for 2 cables (My AMP has 2 Cords) Audio Envy Ocean-Elite 3 P 5' Most reasonable Just under $400 2 cords Zavfino Majestic Mk2 5' 2 cables about $900 Triode Wire labs 700 plus American series 5' About $1100 2 cords I like one thing on the menu, Too many to choose from. I'm sure they are all excellent, if anyone has any thoughts, that would be great. I'm not sure why, but, Cullen seems to get my attention????? Thanks Robert TN |
@robshaw This will stay in budget and is a top recommendation. Likewise, Cullen is fine, though the company is in transition. Triode Wire Labs and Zavfino are both great, but might push your budget a bit. |
