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?

I’m anxiously waiting to receive my unit (RS2T) this week, several of these forums convinced me this is the unit to purchase.

I was told a few weeks ago by Walter (Underwood HIFi) that they did not have and could not get any RS2 Transports.

I received my RS2T 1/5/23 but was not able to implement it into an audio setup in my Greatroom (at least that's what the builder called it LOL) until yesterday. So far so good, and it sounds very good along with my Remyo DAP-777 Dac.

I did notice the same issue that robshaw mentioned at the beginning of this forum;

"I noticed when placing the little magnetic puck on the disc that it just sits atop the center spindle and does not contact the disc". 

The transport still works and thus far I'm happy ;-)

 

I'm happy to report back and say I took @lpreting's recommendation and used very fine steel wool to smooth out any slight burrs in the disk, took about one minute, and the disk sits nice and flat on the cd now.

@charles1dad,

Everything is sounding exceedingly good, just received an REL T/7X to incorporate into this system in the Greatroom. Thanks for asking. Any word on the tube Dac?

I'm looking for assistance with a question regarding dimming the display on the RS2T. The directions that came with the new unit (which is very vague) says "use button "mode" on the remote control to change brightness - 10 steps and display scheme: black background + white font and vice versa".

I've tried pressing the mode button while the unit is turned on however nothing happens. Can anyone assist me with this issue?

@charles1dad, once again, thank you very much for your help. I tried using the mode button before, but it did not do a thing. Just got home from work and tried it again and it worked exactly the way you said it would. Once again, thank you everything‘s working superbly. ;-)
