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. |
Many fine recommendations listed so far. I have a Cullen Crossover, Triode Wire Labs 8+ and a 10+ along with a Signal Cable magic PC and 3 Signal Cable Digital References. I wasn't a fan of the Signal magic however for my system and set up the Digital Reference is the most neutral PC of my group. The Triodes are very close but a little warmer presentation that I do not need emphasized. The Cullen I found to be slightly heavy in the bass region but hasn't been auditioned in my main rig for a long time. The Digital reference can be used anywhere. It is 12 gauge which is sufficient for everything with the possible exception of the most powerful amps. Pricing for this cable which recently was an absolute steal is still a great bargain. The one stinker about it is that it's difficult to work with being so darn stiff. These cables have been evaluated with my Tekton Double Impacts which if memory serves is the speaker you're trying to match up. Also a big "Thank You" to Charles for alerting me to the standby feature of the RS2T by utilizing the remote. Once I got the unit to power up, the standby has worked at least a dozen straight times. I can only assume it will continue as such until my replacement finally shows up. |
