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?

You have been as quiet as a church mouse lately. 😊

I take this to mean that all is well.

Nice of you to ask. Short of long,  storm related damage to large tree downed. Had to chain saw all and transport to burn pile and today, have to take the excavator out of shop to remove large stump and plant new tree, ALL DAY JOB!

On a brighter note. Received my newest piece, a Linear Tube Audio, LPS, on Thursday afternoon. I was impressed with its build quality!! Heavy.  Yesterday being Friday, was my first opportunity to fire it up. Listened for 2 hours solid at high Volume level, which is a Rock and Roll standard for me. Out of the box I really wasn't expecting a great deal, but, was pleasantly surprised. What I perceived initially was the following: Sound stage seemed larger, more open and dynamic and seemed clearer if that's possible? All subjective of course. Maybe that's what I wanted to hear, but, surprisingly the Wife agreed wholeheartedly to the aforementioned. Just curious as to  the sound image as burn in continues. We shall see. Note: Very Impressed with LTA company and their product. Order and delivery via UPS was just about 3 weeks.  Now toying with a new Power supply cable to compliment it.  I remember you adding a new cable to your Fedilizer and were quite impressed.  Quick question, if you don't mine, I remember someone on the site asking if a New Upgraded power cable to a Sub would compliment it? Don't remember the response. Thanks Charles as usual. Will keep all apprised. Robert

Hi @robshaw 

Congratulations on getting the LTA linear power supply. It has earned a wonderful reputation and I had no doubt you’d be quite pleased with this unit or the Fidelizer Nikola II. I do believe that you will benefit from using a good quality power cable with the linear power supply. Excellent move on your part to extract further sound quality from the terrific RS2T.

Your Steelers will have their hands full with Brady and the Buccaneers tomorrow.😊. I don’t know if you follow college football but Tennessee vs Alabama should be a good one today.

My brother is a big college game guy. We spoke this am. he said as you did, great game.  Have fingers crossed, hoping for the best.  Enjoy your football today!  Robert

Guys,

I modified my original QStab for my Jay's Audio CD Transport to fit into my Pro Ject RS2T and yes, it's a notable and welcomed difference in sound quality across the board.

The good news is, Mike at HQ Audio has come out with a newer version that sound even better and designed to fit our Pro Ject CD transport. I have one on the way...😁
