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?

Charles, thank you for the response and kind thought. When we were texting awhile ago ref: to the RS2T unit, I had always appreciated your suggestions and kind thoughts. Your quite knowledgeable on these topics, to that point, I wish I was!  From my readings on this site, you have always tried to help and never critical, more people should emulate you. Thank for all your help and suggestions in the past. Robert TN

IPRETIRING: The Encores have been in place now for approximately 4 months. Maybe 150 hrs on them. They were everything ERIC, from Tekton  said they would be. The upgrades were the reason I chose the Encore. He knew from my previous purchase, 4years earlier (Double Impacts, not SE but, upgraded caps, etc.) that I enjoyed exclusively Rock and Roll. These speakers are crossed at 50hz on dual SVS SB4000 subs.   TO answer your question earlier. I have 2 of them, One in each system, I like them that much/////// Benchmark LA-4 preamps, System is all balanced, even the subs!  I'm a big guy, good shape and older and setting those speakers up, I can still feel  the after effects on my BACK!!!  Have a great day.
