Weakest Link? Your honest opinions.
Hit post a little too soon. The reason why I mention going solid state in the phono stage is that I had tubes also for that component and while the Pro-ject phono tube box II was good, the Jasmine was better, warmer (dare I say more tube like), re... 
Weakest Link? Your honest opinions.
I've jumped off the cable dance train by going to Mogami RCA (2549) and speaker wire (2921). I use the Neutrik Pro-Fi RCA connectors and Audioquest BFAs to terminate the speaker wire in a biwire config. I really like the transparent sound of these... 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
@Stevecham: What comparisons of VPI to other tables have you made? I'm asking because I am puzzled and curious to what I heard with the Traveler in the demo room vs what I hear in my system at home with my Xpression III. I also heard the same PRAT... 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
Pace Rhythm and Tempo. The Pro-ject and Rega tables are known for this and others... 
VPI traveller vs Project rm5.1 vs second hand VPI?
I really like my Tekton 6.5t monitors (sound best with rigid stands) from tekton for $600. That way you can put more money into your (integrated) amp (exposure, audio refinement - both used?) and also more money into a phono stage (love my Jasmine... 
AFFORDABLE HIGH VFM RACKS - Opinions Please...
Are the VTI racks any good? 
has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0
Did you try another phono stage? Might be good to have a backup. 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
Thanks Dayglow 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
The Traveler and the Linn gear was on what looked to be a very well made / rigid maple wood component rack. I wonder if this rack over dampened the Traveler and took its PRaT away? 
Pro-ject RPM 5 worthy cartridge/phonostage replace
I'm using an ortofon mc-3 turbo (HOMC under $300 new) and the Jasmine LP 2 mkll under $600. Really like the combo and had the Pro-ject phono tube box ll with upgraded tubes, which was quite good but the Jasmine is much better. Both beat out the Vi... 
Recommendation for analog set for $700
Offer $325 for the rega with the cart or $275 without? Either way, you might want to have an analog shop check out a 25+ year old table. 
Cartridge upgrade?
Ortofon MC-3 turbo 
Interconnect recommendations
Mogami 2549 with whatever connectors you want makes a great RCA cable. Go 2534 for balanced. You can have some 2549 made up at Pro Audio LA (not affiliated) for less than $50. 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
Does anyone suspect that there was something wrong with the Traveler setup? What do previous Rega and Pro-ject owners think that have switched to a Traveler? 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
So yesterday I got to listen to the Traveler with a 10x5 Dyna through a Linn system (pre with MM phono with separate power amp and 109 speakers). Probably as close to my system as I'm going to get without being able to take the Traveler home. I br...
