| Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport Walter and Underwood are outstanding. Way back in 2002, he recommended I purchase a JoLida JD-100 hybrid CD player. One of the things he said is the CD player is so well designed you could still be playing it in 20 years. It's still going strong, ... | |
| Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport @ajays Sorry to hear about your CD Box problems. I had two. The first replaced under warranty because of CD recognition failure. The second because of the whooshing noise you described. A CD Box dealer I communicated with said Pro-Ject is in the... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @facten - That's good info. TY! I'm auditioning the 260DT at the end of the week. My DAC has AES/EBU capability. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @sealegs I am going to audition the Simaudio 260DT. The fit and finish looks fabulous. As mentioned previously, I am concerned about the transport mechanism failures that others have reported. David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @liquidsound Sounds like a winner. What DAC are you running? David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing I ordered the Schiit Urd transport. Schiit will let me return up to 15 days, so it’s a good place to start auditioning. If decide to keep it, the unit has up to a 5 year warranty (2 years on the drive mechanism). Like the Pro-Ject CD Box, the Urd... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @robshaw Wishing you best outcomes! Do let us know what's happening. TMR is a stand-up audio dealer, for sure. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing My comments about wanting another CD Box have elicited some strongly-opinionated responses! I know it sounds crazy, the sound I'm after is what the CD Box delivers. I go back and forth. With that said-I contacted Pro-Ject N.A. and they indicated ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @robshaw - Many people think Jay's MK2-III transport sounds fantastic. I've done quite a bit of research and have considered getting one. I think the thing that makes me hesitate is the no returns policy. Charles1dad has an Abbas 3.2 se DAC and i... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @facten @charles1dad Agreed with your quality issue assessments! I have to say as I'm doing research the CD Box still comes out on top wrt sound quality. I've actually wondered if I would be crazy trying to get another one. I've reached out to... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @robshaw 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") my neighbor once owned. When it was up and running it ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk - Thanks for the tip! Just purchased. That's a terrific site, BTW. Lots of "candy." David | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @charles1dad One of the great discoveries I made via streaming was this Dexter Gordon gem. Dexter Gordon Featuring Joe Newman. It’s not a particularly great recording, with some questionable editing of songs. But the musicianship is top rate. ... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing @lalitk Definitely is my experience on my audio equipment. You got me thinking with your response how CD remastering and reissues can make absolute statements like "always sound better of CD" anachronistic. For instance, how many "Kind of Blue" ... |
