VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
Thanks Dayglow 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
The Traveler and the Linn gear was on what looked to be a very well made / rigid maple wood component rack. I wonder if this rack over dampened the Traveler and took its PRaT away? 
Pro-ject RPM 5 worthy cartridge/phonostage replace
I'm using an ortofon mc-3 turbo (HOMC under $300 new) and the Jasmine LP 2 mkll under $600. Really like the combo and had the Pro-ject phono tube box ll with upgraded tubes, which was quite good but the Jasmine is much better. Both beat out the Vi...

Interconnect recommendations
Mogami 2549 with whatever connectors you want makes a great RCA cable. Go 2534 for balanced. You can have some 2549 made up at Pro Audio LA (not affiliated) for less than $50.

Removed the anti-skate pin and loop last night and moved my speed box off the wall turntable shelf. Sounding more open and involving. Also ordered the dot tonearm kit. Not sure if I am going to try the heavier footers because the Xpression lll fee...

A couple more things.I have the Xpression III with the acrylic platter and the better feet. They are not as heavy as the brass footers and hope brass ones really anchor the table. Has anyone else done these upgrades on their Xpression or other tab...

@Mattcecil, thanks for these recommended tweaks!I have already removed my anti-skate weight and plan on removing the string pin also. If I partially unscrew the armboard mount screw to undo the the anti-skate threat support, do I have to re-setup ...
