Just stumbled on this post after being off Agon for a while, and perfect timing as I’m researching a transport. Lots of good info and especially thanks for charles1dads informative (and persuasive) posts. Planning on picking up an RS2T this week. First time with a separate transport, pairing with a decent DAC. Considering an LPS as well, LTA, Teddy Pardo, anyone else US based? Thanks.
CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE
I CURRENTLY USE A CAMBRIDGE TRANSPORT WITH MY BERKELEY DAC 2 AND TOGETHER IT SOUNDS VERY, VERY GOOD - ALMOST GREAT : )
AMP, SPEAKERS AND CABLES ARE ALL EXCELLENT TOO.
WHAT CD TRANSPORT WILL MAKE A SIGNIFICANT, AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE?

What DAC will you be using? I feel confident that you’ll be impressed with the RS2T. Here’s a comprehensive linear power supply review you may find very helpful. https://audiobacon.net/2021/08/06/the-worlds-best-audiophile-linear-power-supplies/ |
I have an Auralic DAC but will be upgrading to the Holo May. The Auralic served well for many years but it’s time to move up. I’m familiar with the Audio Bacon site and LPS reviews, great stuff. That site seems to be sadly winding down, there hasn’t been much activity for a while. Your Nikola LPS seems to be a fine unit, so I'll check that out. Thanks. |
The Holo May is highly regarded and should pair well with the RS2T. I can’t think of a reason why this would not be the case. The Fidelizer Nikola II is overbuilt in my opinion. I’ve had mine on 24/7 since purchased in January 2022. Not even warm to the touch and it’s absolutely silent. So, an over spec’s power transformer and very good quality parts. I’m very happy with it.
