What do folks think about the Traveler arm? I'm trying to decide on Classic 1 or this table. Sometimes a used Classic one for 2K is a no-brainer for me, but I live overseas so shipping an issue.
Saw this comment on Amazon:
"This has to be the worst designed tonearm I've ever seen in my life. The tonearm should never have been released to the public. It is simply not robust enough. The four small spikes holding it together are a joke. You can break the damn thing by carefully taking it out of the foam packing. I told the people at VPI that all you end up doing is accusing the customer of being too rough with the tonearm, when the real problem is the bad design."
