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?

Also a big "Thank You" to Charles for alerting me to the standby feature of the RS2T by utilizing the remote.

You are welcome. I’m just happy to know that you and Robert are able to enjoy the terrific sound quality of the RS2T. Admittedly I post often about this CD transport. I’ve been so thoroughly pleased with its performance I feel compelled to let other music lovers aware of it.

I was using an old (20 years) Marigo Lab Audio power cable to the Fidelizer Nikola II LPS. I very recently replaced it with a Lavricables “Master “ pure silver power cable. My goodness what an improvement. The RS2T-Fidelizer-Lavricables combination just sings!

Charles1DAD, and ipretiring:  As soon as I get a invoice from Cullen, My wife and I decided on the Cullen Crossover 2 cables 10awg.  We both choose them

independent of one another, maybe a good sign.  I'm sure the others are great also. May choose one for the LPS later to compliment the Rs2T. Providing it lasts through the 60 day trial window? For a different treat after cutting grass for 2 hrs, I listened to my IEM's which I haven't done in a long time. I forgot how good they are when you just want a quick listen, Hour or so. Hear is a taste if interested. I have an I-phone 6s coupled with an I phone camera adapter cable, attached to that is an IFI BTR5 ( if I remember correctly) headphone amp and DAC which then connects to my IEM's. (FIIO FH5 ) If you keep them WIRED rather than Bluetooth, and subscribe to Qobuz for example or Amazon HD, ( I do both) you will get an absolute treat. If it's 192 for example you will get 192, Just amazing sound. Hard to believe from an IEM. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy  Have a great weekend all. Tks again for all your help  Ps Has to remain WIRED to get that sound, otherwise just Good..
