Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing

I currently own a RS2T. I went through 2 prior units that were faulty. Charles 1 and I went back and forth with posts. He stated 3 strikes and your out. When the earlier units were working they were to die for, my audiolab 6000CDT is a great unit for the money. The RS2T is in a completely different league. It is SUPERB, with a good or great DAC (using now a Meitner MA-1 V2 DAC)  I bought a 3rd from the Music Room, (great to deal with) so far, almost a year, GREAT!!!!  NOTE: TMR told me due to issues the RS2T is on hold with them until further notice.

I am currently thinking about another transport also for another room, so this article is most interesting. Deciding to upgrade a 6000cdt or a benchmark DAC 3b,(which I really LIKE)  in that other room??? Thanks to all that participated.  Now the homework. Thank you

Wharfy/David: Thanks for the return post. I am so lucky (so far) with my 3rd (hopefully a winner) RS2T.  I also invested through LT Audio a LPS and the DAC combo sounds GREAT.

In my secondary system, I use a DAC 3B Benchmark, and an Audio lab 6000CDT. Just added a ANTI CABLE Level 3 power cable to the DAC, big improvement, I was very surprised as I wasn't expecting much. I really like my DAC 3B, but was wondering what a step up the ladder might offer. Similar experiment in main room with Meitner and RS2T reveled quite a step forward. If I was to consider (which i AM) another Transport it may be the Jays audio CDT2 ( not sure the proper designation) but the unit that sells US for about 2.5k. Maybe even consider buying an extra laser unit??  On the DAC side looking at an upgrade (hopefully) maybe a used Merison DAC1 or T+A 200 DAC, Abbas 3.2 se DAC? Just tossing these thoughts around, looking for others inputs. Currently waiting for delivery (much anticipated) another couple of months a NEW pair of Tekton MOAB"S with BE tweeter for main listening area.  Money very tight after recent purchase, more research than anything else, unless a GREAT deal jumped out. Thanks again, Robert TN

Just to offer my 2 cnts. There are 2 reasons I took a flyer for a third RS2T. As it has already been stated the first 2 were not workable. I sent them back to TMR, with a through explanation. They were great to deal with. If it were not for TMR, and their customer service, return policy,  I would not made  a third purchase. Charles and I had posted back and forth several times, and  agreed the sound of the unit just cannot be beat. Once heard you will always remember its sonic attributes.

I asked TMR if they would open and thoroughly test the new unit before shipping, they had it for almost a week. Maybe I'm as lucky as Charles with this unit now, I HOPE!   Having TMR as a dealer was very reassuring. Hopes this helps someone. Robert
