Charles1DAD, Thank you for checking in. Have about 12 hours or so invested. So far so good. My fingers are tired after crossing them so much. I played a CD that I hadn't listened to in a while, The best of the EAGLES. Wow, couldn't get over the sound. Just awaking. Hoping all continues well. Thank you for your power cable suggestions, and others also. I decided to go with the 10 gauge Cullen Crossover 2 cables. My AMP ATI 6002 requires 2 cables, so it was somewhat expensive. Looking forward to receiving them and seeing what they are capable of doing? I assume a few weeks,but, who can tell anymore. I will let all know the outcome. Also starting to look at some LPS. I know you have the Fidelizer Nikola 2 and seem to really like it. That is one of my considerations, another that interests me is the LTA LPS, if that is correct? I believe roughly the same cost? There are others too. Just tipping my foot in the water at this point. Thanks again for checking in, I'll keep you posted. Robert TN
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?

Robert, That is good news to hear from you. As with power cables, there are numerous good choices available with LPS. The LTA has proven to be very good according to RS2T owner feedback. I can certainly vouch that the Fidelizer Nikola II is a splendid high quality choice. Robert I’d just caution not to try to go too cheap when choosing the LPS. Definitely go for the quality. The RS2T is a first rate CD transport and in my opinion deserves an appropriately paired quality LPS. The Nikola II is a bit more expensive than the LTA, but no regrets whatsoever from me. Charles |
Purchased a Nikola II on July 6th. My last update inquiry was on Aug. 16th. Fidelizer has respond timely to requests for information. The following day I was informed my unit was to be built that weekend and should be shipped to me this past week. No shipping information as of this moment. I'm not sure if going forward there will continue to be component supply issues which was paramount in causing most of the delay it appears in building me an RS2T LPS. I would recommend a conversation to this point for future potential customers.

@robshaw Glad that you got squared away , enjoy. I do have a curiosity question - aside from his initial where did you buy it response did Rathammer ever respond further to your quality control concern, and if so anything worthwhile to pass along? |
