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?

Hi Folks. I'm new to this forum having discovered it while researching issues with my RS2T transport.

I was interested to read lpretiring's post of 01-03-2023, having experienced an identical issue with my unit following a power cut. I was able to restore functionality in the same way by looping through several off/on cycles.

My unit also has an intermittent  'skipping' problem - it can work OK for weeks, then lose tracking to the extent that a CD loses playability and the transport has to be restored with one or two off/on cycles. Having read the posts on the forum, it is clear that the RS2T has issues, and that my thoughts that spikes in the mains power supply might be responsible are unlikely to be true.

Looks like the unit has to go back. I'll keep you posted.
