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?

Thanks for your kind words and vote of confidence.😊 It just is not possible to hear/audition every single component you are interested in prior to a purchase. Thank goodness for a forum like this where one can rely on experienced and trusted word of mouth recommendations. I hope that your Nikola II LPS arrives soon.

Gentlemen, Thank you so much for the response in regards to the LPS. Riding coattails is not a problem. Done it many a time. I have read many good things on The Fidelizer 2 thus far.   Charles one DAD, don't laugh too much. I asked my wife when I read your post, REF: your Avatar, what is that, she asked? I commented, I have no clue. As I approach 70 this December, I realize how computer illiterate I am at times. I will figure it out though. Just thought I'd give you a good laugh. Robert

No problem I understand. Click the square with my initial “C” in one of my posts. Just as yours is square with “R”

Never tried a RS2T but I have the Jay's cd2 mk3 since January and it sounds absolutely fantastic and has caused me zero issues. 

Charles 1 DAD, Thanks very easy to do.  All I can say is WOW!  Very Impressive! system. Thank you. Robert  

Also, to the above  (baylinor) I could have gone very easily to the Jay's and been very happy. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I Finally enjoy mine. Happy Listening
