Mazz, how has the RTP300 been for you in terms of sound quality compared to the RT31P2? Even though I had 2 RT31P2's, they always had line noise & interference in the background, even with just a single line-powered phone connected to the RT31 TA. The kicker is that I have a home recording/broadcast studio with some rather sensitive mic & turntable pre-amps, and don't run into any problems with them. (Last time I measured my noise floor, it was around -121dB) Even my AM radio tuner works well without interference from the computers & studio gear. Yet the RT31P2 didn't. The RTP300's very quiet, obviously not -120dB, but far superior to my Verizon land line.

The sound quality is much better with the RTP300. The 2 main reasons I upgraded were because the RT31P2 had a lot of background noise and because the RT31P2 was automatically rebooting a few times a week for no apparent reason.

On the RT31P2, I was using the suggestion on this forum to plug in an off-hook phone into port 2. This did decrease the line noise significantly but the RTP300 is still quieter without it.

OK is there an official word on 300's?

I called back tonight as requested and was told they are not shipping 300's and might not again.

So once again I have new 31's and same problems....! urgh!

My 31P2 just bit the dust and won't power on...One thing that was a pain with it was the fact that it had a 110v only power supply, instead of 110-240 which is nice since I travel to the EU regularly. They are shipping me a 300 and I'm curious if someone could take a peak at the unit and let me know if the power supply is multi-voltage or just 110 only again?

Cheers1

100-120vAC, sorry gang. On a positive note, it's a switching type power brick, so it doesn't weigh a ton (good for domestic travel). When abroad, just buy an adapter over there. As long as it puts out 12vDC and at least 1000mA, and has a positive center tip, you're in good shape. Far cheaper than buying one stateside.
