New turntable help

Not anywhere you can audition them? They are all well thought of tables with their own advantages and disadvantages. Having an idea of what is most important to you would help. As might an idea of what genres of music you most often listen to.

Those three turntables couldn't sound more different from one another, so it going to come down to your prefrences. They are all very nice, well thought out and heavily built. I sold my Scout and kept a Traveler so listen to this one also. I hope you can audition all of them, that will be important.
Do you have the Ebony V2 Maestro? That is one of the best sounding carts I ever heard. With that Boron cant and micro hd stylus (i think it's the same stylus as the $13k cartridge fron CA) That is a tremendous value catridge. Lucky man.

I found a local dealer that's a clearaudio and vpi dealer. So an audition is in order.

I listen to classical, rock, heavy metal, folk and some jazz and blues.

I don't own a maestro yet. But that's the cartridge i want to use with the new turntable.

Zenblaster.. Why did you use the traveler over the scout?

Any other turntables between 1- 2k price range? I wouldn't mind going over budget.

You really can't mess up with the scout. Its very well rounded and has many upgrade options. It should keep you happy for a very long time.

If you are hitting the $1-2k budget, you might want to try to hear a Well Tempered Simplex.
