Best value $1500 TT and cartridge.

wino, have there been any upgrades/changes to the concept in the last
4 years? Does the "S" series offer that much over the "E" series to war-rant the 75% increase in cost?

I have a Traveler2 with an Ortofon 2m Blue for less than $1500 and it sounds fantastc.

 Markj941-  I am not aware of any changes to the Concept,  though I see they have released a version in black. I cant tell you about the differences between the 2 carts. because I am only familiar with the one I have. I purchased the SL because that was the one I found so much positive feedback about. If you want to save some $ the E model also has gotten good reviews. Good luck!

"Both these moving coil cartridges bring genuine advantages to any listening session at a low, low price. Terrific value for money."
