@robshaw Glad that you got squared away , enjoy. I do have a curiosity question - aside from his initial where did you buy it response did Rathammer ever respond further to your quality control concern, and if so anything worthwhile to pass along?
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?

@robshaw Not sure how TMR is going to be able to answer your question, but good luck with it. In the interim , below is the Audiogon link to every Jay’s Audio thread where you should be able to get a read on their transports

+1 kingdeezie build quality seems like an afterthought , especially given its price. A shame given the apparent sound quality that it produces. I went from a Cambridge CXC to a Simaudio 260DT , built really well and a nice step up in SQ, added to by switching from its SPDIF to AES/EBU connection. No idea how it compares to the Project or the Jay's SQ wise, but if I make another move I will try the Jay's top model given the questionable build of the Project that continues to be reported |
