New Project RS2T transport
Interesting timing with the reactivation of this thread. Those following it know I also had a defective RS2-T. After a couple of months of frustration, I received a replacement tested unit in August. Until last Friday when I lost power for 45 min...

Compare Bob Carver Black Magic 25 and Rogue Stereo 100?
OP, are you based in the U.S.?  TMR has a few used Rogue Stereo 100 amps available today with a money back guarantee, and Carver also offers 30 day trials. Trying at home yourself would yield the best results if possible.

Fixing Wall Shudder
I agree with a second drywall layer. Use construction adhesive generously between the 2 layers along with 2 1/2" drywall screws. That should firm up things nicely along with less difficulty.      LP  
New Project RS2T transport
Just checking in with you. How is your RS2T-Nikola II pairing going as you’ve gained additional burn-in use/hours? I guess if this was the race, I would be the tortoise. Next time that I listen will surpass the 60 hours of listening. Even to t...
