| CD transports; do they really matter @havocman The P700 may not have been Esoteric’s very best effort but during that era it served me well and was better than most in that particular price range at that time. I’ve heard their more recent models at a not too distance dealer. Charles | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM In no way at all do I agree with your characterization of the sophias as the audi, the audio note as Ford. New tech vs old tech as if new tech must sound better. The audio note speakers in the right system and the right room will sound exceptiona... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @noske No problem.. If you go to the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2T website description page they lay out their product design and objectives. @havocman I had the Esoteric P700 which may have been the first generation of the VRDS disc clamp-drive unit.... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @acresverde No problem 👍 Charles | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 @chuckie Congratulations! I believe that you'll be very happy with your new transport. Enjoy! Charles | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @acresverde I took the time last night to post picture and info regarding the CDT3 which is a transport. It was their flagship CD transport as recent as 2019. They may have creased production as this unit relied on the Phillips CD PRO-2 drive m... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @mdrone I don't own the Jay's Audio CDT2 MK II/III. I'm sure the component dimensions are available on their website. Charles | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 For those desiring SACD the Pro-Ject RS2 transport wouldn't be for them. Pro-Ject has clearly stated their singular objective was to provide the best quality Redbook CD playback they could. I'm in that category of listener and they hit a homerun w... | |

| Tube Amp settings: Triode vs UL; 8 ohm vs. 4 ohm ? @atmasphere So I don't think you can say with any accuracy that one or the other is better in some sort of general way. You'll simply have to listen and see for yourself. But if you like what you hear with the triode setting, I would consider g... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @noske Well for me the number 1 objective of an audio component is "how does it sound?". So that's the first thing to address and get right. Pro-Ject specifically wanted a small footprint package (Their "Box" concept). Adding an internal LPS t... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter @noske At this price point I’m quite disappointed that Pro-Ject does not include an internal linear power supply With all due respect I believe that you are missing the value/performance ratio of the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2T. At this juncture the... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter CDT3-MK2 Flagship CDT "I was so taken with the Terminator driven by the Jay’s Audio CDT-3 MK2 that I have bought two sets of both, one for each system, and sold my previous digital gear which included an Esoteric K-03x. The Terminator bl... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter Yes @nonoise Terrific SB game! @stuartk I understand that you have to feel comfortable with a component. The smaller scale form factor was chosen as to require less shelf space. The irony for me is that the small physical size is yielding hug... | |
| CD transports; do they really matter Off topic I believe that the 2nd half of this super bowl is going to be classic! Charles |
