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?

Very close to making  a decision on the LPS. On the game last night, Two GREAT QB's, Herbert provided that pick 6, tore the sole out after being so close. Mahomes just seems to be a magician.  That is without Hill too.

My team is the Steelers. They play NE this Sunday 1PM, I believe. Then a quick turn around on Thursday night football against the Browns. I hope we don't miss TJ Watt too much.    The reason I asked the DC power plugs diameter, I believe in the ordering page , they asked that question? Not positive, I'll have to check.  Also fighting not buying made in the USA.  Decisions, Decisions  ???? Still have the Plixer Elite BDC in the back of my mind, except I don't believe they make or meet the exact electrical requirements, it's either 2 or 4 amps and either 19V or 24 volts. I haven't had a chance to ask Project yet if those numbers above are aceptable, don't want to take any chances. Have a great day, thanks for all your help. Robert

LP  thanks for the info. I may do the same thing. Almost there decision wise. Hope your unit continues to improve as burn in is continued. Let me know, please.  Thanks, Robert

Robert, I believe that your Steelers have a chance to start the season 3-0 despite the loss of Watt. N.E. and the Browns are beatable. Regarding the LPS I'd stick with the 20v/3 amp unless Pro-Ject says there's absolutely no problem doing otherwise.

I hope your right on the Steelers issue. We will see.  I haven't had a chance to directly contact Project for the answer to that question. If not I will hold true to your recommendation, which I believe is the best advice.  Thanks Have a great weekend.  Ps  listened for 2 hours yesterday, with Project shining.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.  I got word that my September delivery has been pushed back again.  I'm guessing Pro-ject is dealing with QC issues and they haven't been resolved.  I'm starting to look at other options and now I have a Fidelizer PS I'll be forced to sell if I do.
