Shanling ET3 or Project CD RS2-T CD transport comparison


I'm trying to decide what to purchase and i'm considering the well regarded Shanling ET3 but i'm super curious about the RS2-T transport from Project. These are in totally different price segments and i totally understand but more $$ is not always an indicator of better sound quality.. (But often is :) 

Has anyone actually heard both and would care to comment?

I can't audition before i purchase unfortuneatly

 

thanks!

Sir, My current transport is the RS2T. It is the best transport in my opinion, unless you want to spend Aqua la Diva money for their transport. RS2T uses A STREAM unlimited CD mechanism CD-PRO 8 and a blue tiger CD-84 servo system .  I own 2 audio lab 6000CDt's and they are extremely good for the money. However, in my main system the RS2T out performs it sound wise 3-1 (give or take) not a slight difference in sound, but, a major one!!!!!!

However, a little background. This is my 3rd one, I returned the other 2 back to the MUSIC ROOM as they were defective. The MUSIC ROOM was great to deal with!!!  The third was was hard to purchase based one aforementioned history. I just couldn't get over the sound quotient. I took a shot and they tested the third on before the sent it to me.(THE MUSIC ROOM) It has been wonderful!!!!!!!!! so far!!!  2 years later.  Dont know whether quality control has been bettered.  Ask anyone on this venue that owns one and they will back me up, incredible sound!!!! Just my 2cents. Robert TN     Need to know anymore text me.
