Here’s a new feedback today from a client who ordered Nikola2 to power Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport. He heard good things about Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport + Nikola2 from his friend and decide to order one for his CD transport also.
Hi Keetakawee,
I just want to thank you in regard to the Nickola 2 LPS and its pairing with the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport. Simply put, an outstanding combo.
Improvement is noted across all sonic parameters. Most notably, tone/timbre/3 -dimensional space/and just a more natural sound quality and fluidity of musical flow and presentation. Bottom line is heightened emotional realism. This is an excellent linear power supply.
Sincerely,
Charles
I’m happy to hear that Nikola2 is working great with Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport as an outstanding combo and happy listening. 🙂

Here’s a new feedback today. He sent me his feedback after promising to share his feedback on Plus version upgrade as below.
Hi Keetakawee,
Back as promised. Your proggy works flawlessly. Smooth as can be. The free version is a good product in its own right, but this is well above it. I am a happy bunny. This was money well spent. And a great transaction experience to boot. Thanks mate, keep up the good work!
Eddie
I’m happy to hear that he finds Fidelizer Plus version making significant improvements over free version and happy listening. 🙂
