VPI Traveler v1 vs v2 comparison
@zennblaster: yes, platter startup assist helps extend belt life. Even doing this, i could not eliminate the startup chatter on the V2. 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?

VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
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. :)

Rega RP3 or Pro-ject Expression III?
So has anyone tried the Music Hall Cruise Control 2.0 with the RP3 instead of Rega's TTPSU? A poster here tried the Cruise Control 2.0 with a Rega 3-24 and really liked it. The 3-24 and the RP3 have the same motor, correct? TIA 
Feelings on the Music Hall MMF 7.1
@Tketcham, does the 7.1 have the Pro-ject 9cc tonearm or a specific music hall one similar to the Pro-ject arms. 
How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge
If I had a chance to buy an inexpensive music hall 7 with intentions to upgrade the arm, which drop-in arm (if any) would you go with? Any wiring upgrades? I would use the mmf 7 with a music hall cruise control on a wall bracket shelf and a jasmin...
