VPI Traveler/Dynavector 20x2H Contest Now Includes Mikey Microscope Set-up

Michael Fremer  |  Jul 12, 2012

Before the lucky winner gets his or her VPI Traveler and Dynavector 20x2H combo, they will be shipped to the editor's home for expert set-up, including using a digital microscope to set SRA. When the winner gets it home, it should be a "plug and play" experience.

Note - to sign up for the sweeps, you need to go to the sweeps page.

Love the new website!  I have enjoyed reading your columns in Stereophile for years.  I even have a few copies of your old magazine THE TRACKING ANGLE around here somewhere.   Would love to win this combo as I am getting back into audio after being absent for way too many years.  Love the reviews, comments from others, and having a great time reading and learning.  Best wishes for a long and successful run!

It is nice to find Mr. Fremer writing here- I have enjoyed the arc of your career. Enter me for the turntable- it will be a step up from my Underground Sound modified AR with a sumiko arm and Shure V15 Type V microridge cartridge. I listen to more blueray and DVD Audio/SACD than vinyl these days....

Very nice offer, looking forward to this. Thanks Mike.

Hello Michael,

It's been a great pleasure and learning experience reading Analog Planet since its launch. My entry point into this world was your Analog Corner columns a few years back, and my wife and young son have taken lots of joy in the analog listening experience; it's become part of our daily life.

Thanks also to VPI/Dynavector for making this contest possible. This is a great community.

All the best, Matthew

This VPI is a NICE turntable...

The last turntable i owned was a Pioneer PL-L800 with a linear tracking arm...it came out after Pioneer bought Phase Linear, so it was basically their design with the Pioneer name stamped on. I loved the turntable, was in perfect shape, but left with my brother  in storage while i moved to Denver. He got pissed at me one day in the early '90s and threw it in the trash along with all my records (about 200). So, what a great way to re-enter the vinyl world by winning this beauty!
