@Dodgealum, I posted a thread very similar to your words above wondering how we really can compare analog setups (tables and cartridges) when it is hard enough to locally hear what we think is in our budget. I have an Xpression III with speed box I and hope to upgrade to a VPI Traveler at the end of this month. I cannot even find a Traveler to listen to in the Seattle area. I also wanted to hear an Amadeus to see what all the hype is about but I cannot find one of those local either.
The first part of my analog source upgrade is done going from a Pro-ject phono tube box II to a Jasmine 2.0LP mkII. I hope to be selling all of my Pro-ject gear locally if the Traveler works out (will be demoing the Traveler in house).
