| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing BTW-Art Blakey and his classic Jazz Messengers, with Lee Morgan and Sonny Rollins sounds fantastic through the CD6SE. Oh boy, I bet that it does. Of all the tremendous trumpeters who had stints with the Jazz Messengers, Lee Morgan may be my fav... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Hi David, Thank you very much for taking the time to present your listening impressions. I was very curious about what your outcome would be. Your results did not surprise me. I had a strong suspicion that the ARC CD6 SE would fit beaut... | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson I’m really pleased about this. In an era of superb all-digital, all-solid-state 4K HDR video, tube amps continue to make new friends because they sound so good, on all types of music. Agreed!!! I believe that class D GaN amplif... | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson Thanks for the exceptionally educational and interesting posts. ! Very much appreciated. Your summation of the simplicity of the DHT tubes really explains their longevity, continued desirability and enduring superb sound quality. Tal... | |
| Aric Audio @scottya118 It is good to read that you are very happy with your new Aric Audio amplifier. You already have an excellent amplifier reference point via the Pass XA 30.8. What does the el84 single ended amplifier do that you consider an improvemen... | |

| Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport My RS2T is “dead silent “ since purchased in 2021. Pro-Ject is according to word of mouth reports in the midst of sorting out and correcting their operational flaws. Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Have you heard Jackie McLean, Nature Boy? Cedar Walton on piano. Billy Higgins on drums I have a fair amount of his recordings but not that one in particular. I will seek it out. Thanks as always for the tip. Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy Given that your DAC is optimized for USB then it seems the Schitt URD could be just the ticket. It will be very interesting to learn what you think of it sonically. You have an established reference point per the RS2T. Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @facten Thanks! Charles | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy I had a terrific conversation with an audio dealer who carries Pro-Ject. They said the failure rate of the CD Boxes since 2022 was 70%. Wow!! That does qualify as a wow!! I received my RS2T in November 2021 and as I have said previo... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy David, The 3rd time was the charm for Rob as he mentioned earlier. I’d only consider it if there’s a clear snd definitive return policy. It would be wonderful if you can finally enjoy the RS2T trouble free as other very happy owners are... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @facten I have no skin in this, but based upon reading posts over the last year or so the QC issue(s) has been a known for some time . It would seem that Project would have long since addressed its production and overall QC especially given i... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @wharfy I go back and forth about purchasing another RS2T. I love everything about the sound. And at the price, it's a bargain. The CD Box reminds me of a Fiat ("Fixing it always trouble") I understand your hesitation. To my understanding ... | |
