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?

Very lucky to get a replacement.  I ordered one 3 months ago that was supposed to have been here last week.  Now I'm being told September.

I have one on order so I emailed Pro-ject (Sumiko) and asked what is being done to correct these issues.  Depending on their response I may pivot to the Jays transport.  

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.  I got word that my September delivery has been pushed back again.  I'm guessing Pro-ject is dealing with QC issues and they haven't been resolved.  I'm starting to look at other options and now I have a Fidelizer PS I'll be forced to sell if I do.  

I have not pulled my deposit. I’m curious to see how they deal with this and how quickly.

Robert, 

Thanks for the post.  I'm still optimistic that they will get this figured out, their overseas business on this model is reliant upon it.  If they can't ship them successfully, why would anyone take a chance on buying one and getting stuck with it at some later date?  The reviews have been excellent when they work so I still want one.

The PS is the Fidelizer 2.  I'll keep you up on what I'm doing as I get news from Pro Ject.  Jeff
