I've had the RS2-T for about 2 weeks. To my ears it is an excellent sounding transport and value based on sound performance. However, at this point Pro-ject it appears to me has a quality control issue.
When I unpacked my unit the bottom of the door (being when the door lid is fully opened) has a small flat piece held by 3 teeny screws. Two of them were not secured and when I opened the lid the last screw gave way. That now free piece is very tinker toyish. Regardless of that fact the unit itself does have a solid feel to it with overall the lid movement being fluid and smooth.
I purchased from Underwood Wally who by the way is being fantastic with his customer service. He had 4 units and according to Wally 3 of them had this exact problem. Wally has units on order and upon arrival is swapping out the cosmetic issued units for brand new for all three customers. Huge kudos to him for making the customer #1!
I listened that first night loving the performance of the RS2-T. The next night when I went to listen the blue led lit up but the display stayed dark.
Long story shorter my unit sometimes will not function. If I wait 10 minutes and try powering up again, then so far it will power up properly and continue to work for as long as my listening sessions have been.
To my knowledge my unit was the only one with the double whammy.
I might be too forgiving but I believe these are minor hiccups and when I receive my replacement unit that I will have many years of trouble free service.
Pro-ject just needs to get someone to pay attention in QC.
