| Soundsmith cartridge, opinions appreciated The Ortofons and Benzs match up well. The black is very good. I am using the MC-3 turbo on my Xpression III and like it a lot. The Benz Ace is a great performer.I am thinking of upgrading to the Traveler and the Soundsmiths work great with the VPIs. | |
| Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging Linn Tukans and Katans do a great job. I upgraded from those to a set of Tekton 6.5t (cheaper than the Linns and I can get my choice of finishes). Great speaker! | |
| Small integrateds: red wine, bel canto or wyred? Exposure? | |
| VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III? Sigh, they are not going to let me take the Traveler home. At least they have a Linn system that they can hook the Traveler up to that with similar characteristics to my setup. I will be bringing in my LPs very soon.Any other feedback? | |
| VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III? Got a chance to hear the Traveler very briefly yesterday. It was at a local high end dealer that sells VPI, Audio Research, Linn, Wilson Audio, etc.What I don't understand is that they had the Traveler (with a Dynavector 10x5) hooked up to a major... | |
| Jasmine vs Musical Surroundings Nova Phono Pre-Amp I heard the Vincent pho-8 in my system before I bought the Jasmine. Here is my order of preference in the 3 phono preamps I've had:Jasimine LP2.0 mkII - keeper, very big soundstage, very true to tone with nice tube like qualities and tight bottom ... | |

| What turntable, $500 or less @B_limo, did you get a table? I posted my entire Pro-ject vinyl system for sale about a week ago here. Consists of a couple of Ortofon cartridges, Xpression III recently tuned up and a Pro-ject phono tube box II that is only 4 months old (2 months... | |
| Rega or ClearAudio Turntable Wanted to say the Traveler beat out the Rega RP6. | |
| Rega or ClearAudio Turntable VPI Traveler beat out the RP3 in some recent reviews. I hope to upgrade to a Traveler as soon as I can sell my Pro-ject analog front end (Xpression III, phono tube box II, speed box plus an Ortofon MC 25 FL). | |
| Entry Level MC Recommendations? I have an Ortofon MC 25 FL for sale - email me if you are interested. Only 5 hours of eval use. | |
| My Dynavector DV 20 x---High or Low? I also have a pro-ject phono tube box II with very low hours on the unit, the factory tubes and the upgraded electro-harmonix golds for sale. Unit was replaced under warranty when my other one died. Both the pro-ject and the jasmine have very larg... | |
| My Dynavector DV 20 x---High or Low? Jasmine lp2 mkll. Lot of performance for $500 | |
| What turntable, $500 or less B_limo, I sent you an email about my system that I am selling. | |
| Best Phono Cable for Ortofon MC Anna Second on the Mogami. I use 2549 for unbalanced RCA for all of my system. I've heard 2534 is very good for balanced. I use their speaker cables also. |
