RP6 so many ??
At least one for sale has a buyer asking for sales tax if the sale occurs in state. Sounds like a demo sale, which there seems to be a good amount of going on with the RP6 (I got mine at a great price as a "demo - sealed box". Times continue to be... 
Is a dimmer noisy when it's turned OFF?
I have DC hum in my preamp. I've had it in 3 preamps - all hummed (see this post preamp dc hum). I have a bunch of dimmers throughout the house and part of my trouble-shooting was to turn off every circuit at the main panel except my dedicated 20 ... 
VPI Traveler v1 vs v2 comparison
@smatty, and if powdering the belt did take care of you startup chatter (I hope it did), I wonder why VPI does not ship the belt pre-powdered with a recommendation to do it every month or so? The startup chatter made the v2 Traveler feel cheapish ... 
VPI Traveler v1 vs v2 comparison
@smatty, the v2 Traveler has a 48v DC motor. I got my new RP6 for less than what you paid for your v2 Traveler and I think both are excellent tables around the $1000 price range. I really like the finish of the RP6 and the on-the-fly anti-skate ad... 
What brand did you leave Rega for?
Is interesting to see most of the posters here went from a 1st or 2nd tier rega to a much higher end table (both cost and performance). I think in the $1000 to $1500 range the RP6 is a hard one to beat (I got a steal on mine). Looking forward to t... 
Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6?
I will probably go the PTG route. 
Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6?
2juki has received quite positive feedback on this forum plus eBay offers buyers protection along with my credit card company, so will probably go that route.

Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6?
I think I will try to order one of the AV33PTGII from 2juki from ebay as others in the forums have given him excellent marks on transactions.@mofi, how is the stylus guard connected / removed? Does it slide on / off or click on / off? 
Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6?
@mofi, thanks! I might order an AT33PTG/II directly from Japan.Anyone have good experiences with Japanese ebay sellers for this cart? 
VPI Traveler v1 vs v2 comparison
@zen, I sold the V2 and went with a RP6, which I love. Great tonearm and table finish. I wish they spent a little more money and made the subplatter all metal, but still sounds great. Also really like the ability to adjust the anti-skate on the fl... 
Audio Technica AT33EV different versions? On RP6?
@mofi, what table / arm did you put it on? What phono stage are you using and what are your music prefs?Again, TIA... 
VPI Traveler v1 vs v2 comparison
@smatty, did you listen to a rega RP6 before you bought the Traveler? You might be surprised. I am loving my RP6, no hum, no belt chatter, great toe tapping open sound stage. 
At what vol level do you get rumble / flutter?
Now that I got my new rega RP6, the woofer pumping issue is gone. :) 
Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl?
Now that I got my new rega RP6, the weird older / clasic jazz piano sound / issue is gone. :)
