Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve?

Thanks for the link

The owner of the HW-19 Jr. Will ship if I pay for shipping and professional packaging. Plus he wants me to take full responsibility for damaging shipping.

I am thinking the shipping was already going to be at my expense for me. I would have piece of mind knowing it was shipped well. As far as responsibility Insurance could take care of that especially if ups packed themselves.

The only reason I am considering it because it has a new 350 cart on it and it's the table I had my eye on. Well below budget but I don't know anything about the arm. I figure when all done about $800 dollar deal.

Any opinions on if this would end up being a good deal?

Wow I think this is the best response to any of my audiogon post. Thank You.

OK then if an upgrade will help improve the things I am most interested in seems like the right move. I really don't want to go the new arm for table route. Still to new to this to start drilling arm holes plus just don't want the hassel. I also may pay someone to install the cart.

Yes the VPI 19 looks exactly what I am looking for but the seller does not want to Ship. I Originally wanted this table but the used prices seem to be a lot higher now then a couple of years ago. That is why I was looking at the traveler. I like project but want either an upgrade path or better build quality or both like VPI provides. All the reasonable deals I see are local sale only.

Yes I love the exposure and listening to some other gear Audio Research, Rouge, and top of the line Maranz has taught me it will cost a small fortune to finding something that crushes my exposure IMO.

Thanks for the advice. I always wanted to learn how to set up a TT. I have watched Traveler setup videos on you tube. I guess I should jump in and do it myself.

I just need the right VPI table to come up. I Really want to spend 1300 on cart and table.
