VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?

help with RP6 setup
The mc-3 turbo for $350 and a Jasmine LP 2.0 mkII phono stage for $499 plus shipping comes in under your $1000 limit and is a great combo with my RP6. The Jasmine is much better and more flexible than the Rouge stage.

The Rega RP6 beat the two others out, IMHO. My Rega has an Ortofon mc-3 turbo like my Xpression lll. It has the PRAT and the imaging I was looking for. :)

@djwilbourn, I'm having a RP6 setup this weekend and will be using a double sided suede leather mat instead of the thin sound factory wool one. Many say this is a great sounding combo.I was in possession of a V2 Traveler for 1 week. Didn't put a c...
