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?

If you are paying $3000.00 you should not have to fix their screw-ups.

Very substandard and surprising for an Austrian company. I will keep my Bel Canto CD3T. 

    If you have access to a machine shop, get the specs from Project and have it drilled.  They should cover the cost, OR, they should overnight you a proper puck

I have been using Bel Canto transports for decades. Love the small footprint and they sound wonderful. Just my opinion.

Have had my BC CD3T for 6 years and nary a problem, knock on wood.

Next transport will be a Heed Audio.

@robshaw Hope you recover quickly. 

 

 Was coming from a Bel Canto CD3T, which had numerous issues.
