VPI Traveller

The Traveller will be a SMASH hit!

VPI is a great company and the basic turntables are very good without the optional upgrades.

Their upgrades are cheaper than buying a new turntable, if you need more.

I second Stringreen's cartridge suggestions..

I am not thinking about upgrading at this point. I am entry level enthusiast and I thought this might be way of getting into quality table and company. My other options would be something like Rega RP3 or say Sota Comet

In addition, the traveller can be purchased $1299 without cartridge, so what cartridge best for price and value.

Also "B" stock is $1399 without cartridge

Just trying to get quality table that will last me for a few years

I'll add one more to Stringreen's list of carts that work well with VPI- Lyra Helicon

Sorry "B" stock scout. So traveller vs B stock scout

What about Ortofon black?
