| New Project RS2T transport @bernardo Having been down the rabbit hole with a defective unit I would lean towards a new unit. How much are you saving by buying the year-old unit? I will make a guess at 25%. The additional expense is not only an insurance policy but also a... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? As an audiophile who has focused on value this past decade, I feel I've acquired several examples. What stands above the rest in competitive sound quality I believe is my Hornshoppe Truth line stage. | |
| Which preamps use 6922/6DJ8 tubes? If you really want to turn back the clock look for the SA-5 series from Counterpoint. They used a quad set of them. | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? You should consider getting Magnaplanars. Back in the day when I had them on multiple occasions people asked where the speakers were. Can't damage them if they can't find em. | |
| Symptoms of UN-CLEAN power Got my Entech yesterday and it seems to me that this device can only be helpful in communicating your overall home line noise. I was happy when first testing a non-audio circuit that resulted in minimal noise. That convinced me that previous effo... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @charles1dad Yes, I did. I was a little surprised how much Israel was promoting the mono's which gave me pause for concern. Mono's due to some set-up complications is something I had decided against. I've been following a couple of recent amp... | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. Many good options given here. Another to ponder is the Duelund DCA 12. It seems to check off all of your requests. I'm completely satisfied with it in my pretty nice set up having beat out Western Electric vintage, Anti-Cable level 2, and Kimber ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport Very simple repair of the puck. I used very fine steel wool to smooth out any slight burrs. | |
| A Word Of Thanks Sorry to hear now that you had a serious scare, but extremely happy that it appears everything will work out well for you! LP | |
| New Project RS2T transport Interesting timing with the reactivation of this thread. Those following it know I also had a defective RS2-T. After a couple of months of frustration, I received a replacement tested unit in August. Until last Friday when I lost power for 45 min... | |

| Compare Bob Carver Black Magic 25 and Rogue Stereo 100? OP, are you based in the U.S.? TMR has a few used Rogue Stereo 100 amps available today with a money back guarantee, and Carver also offers 30 day trials. Trying at home yourself would yield the best results if possible. | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO I also would prefer mono block in the right situation; however, my existing set up makes that conversion possibly more challenging than I feel like undertaking. With three new pieces recently added that stepped in the right direction, I feel I'm... | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO I'm curious about this amp and if it would be suitable for my 4-ohm Tektons. I will give Israel a call to find out some specifics, but any experience or thoughts here would be appreciated as well. In looking at the website now the price is exclud... | |
| New transport or repair CD player If best sound quality is your goal; one of the dedicated transports mentioned above probably is the way to go. If budget is the priority, then find another competent repair shop. $500 seems very expensive if it truly is a laser assembly swap out.... |
