VPI Traveler Turntable and Dynavector 20x2H Cartridge Combo From Music Direct Sweepstakes

Register to win a VPI Traveler Turntable and Dynavector 20x2H Cartridge Combo From Music Direct (MSRP $2,150) we are giving away.

Analog Planet and Music Direct are proud to offer you a chance to win the brand-new turntable from VPI, The Traveler. This turntable is dedicated to the memory of VPI co-founder Sheila Weisfeld, and it’s an amazing American-made work-of-art. Combine this turntable with the great high-output moving-coil Dynavector 20x2H phono cartridge and you are in for such a treat. We dare to say that no digital front end can compete. But hey, we’re analog lovers!

Josh Bizar from Music Direct says they will also be including some analog set-up tools and some incredible newly-pressed vinyl so will instantly know how amazing this analog package sounds. As an added bonus, Michael Fremer will personally set up the cartridge with his USB scope.

I just need a turntable.

Well I thought my first post was here and I read it too but now I do not see it.  Here in Alaska nights are verrry long and cooooold!.  I wants my precious.

demondog's picture

I've lusted after my friend's Scoutmaster. If I won the VPI Traveler, I'd retire my modest vintage TT. I could afford some new records, but that's about as much as my budget allows these days.

I have a Classic, I want it to have a little brother.........

I never succumbed to the temptation to dispose of my record collection from the 70s and 80s.  I am still using my old Dual CS-606 semiautomatic direct-drive turntable with Ortofon ULM-55E cartridge.  It's time to upgrade and this rig looks like the perfect ticket.

I have been looking for a turntable I could travel with for a while.  I used to always borrow my friends, but I think it's time for me to get my own.  I've been spinning for about a year now.  I've gotten sick of always spinning the top 100 songs 2012 and am trying to branch out into something new...house sounds like my new fortay.

Great site and great idea for a giveaway! Would lovingly use this wonderful table!

Would like to see how this sounds compared to my homemade idler.

Vinyl LP playback, I heard it once at a place called Speaker Shop in Buffalo, NY.

It truly was the best sound I ever heard. I bought a Rega planar 3. Never sounded that great when I got it home.  I still have it, but havn't spun the petroleum by-product in decades. VPI? worth a try?

Love vinyl....need a more upscale rig!

I just hope that I get a chance to prove it one more time with this baby.

Made in US by a great company.

jpbach's picture

Awesome contest from an awesome site.  VPI has been making great turntables for so many years, and Dynavector has been making great cartridges for at least as long.  This ought to be a killer combo.  

plastico's picture

That combo would be fantastic in my living room!

thebullfrog's picture

Thank you for the opportunity to win a great table from renowned company.  Hope I win.  It's time for me to move into the future and out of the past.  My vintage equipment has served me well for many years.  It's time for something new!

I am the proud owner of two of the most informative and entertaining DVD's ever recorded. Maybe that will get me an edge on winning. I doubt it, but it's worth a mention. Mickey is the analog man! I hope I win this set up.

Great promotional ideas Mikey !

Hawkeye666's picture

Wow, great combo of table and cart. This would make such a significant upgrade from my Debut III with speedbox and acrylic platter. Please count me in for this sweepstake.

This would be a great way!

Jkanaan's picture

Analog playback is amazingly interesting. The connections we make as listeners to the music seem to be intensified with analog playback formats.  Maybe it's because we are more involved with the actual playback process - we need to flip the records, we need to clean the records, we generally always think of how to tweak out or turntable, etc, etc. For some it's a means of escape (I, at times, include myself in this category) from the harsh realities the "real-world" throws at us on a daily bases.  For others it is a way of life (again, I include myself in this category as well), those who dream of turntables and all the beautiful accessories which we can tweak out on. The reasons why we love analog playback are so numerous it’s wonderful.  And now we have a chance to win a turntable setup most of dream of...how cool is that?  In my book...it's pretty damn cool indeed.  For all who have entered, I wish you all the best...whoever get this setup...let us all know the beauty you hear. Let’s keep this website rockin' and rollin'...we need an online spot we can trust and call home for us analog junkies...

(Please note: I thought I had entered before, but couldn't find my posting, most likely user (my) error, but if it is there, please do not think I am trying to enter twice...)

Hello everyone!  Good luck to all.  What great fun to be in the running for this beauty. Neat idea to add Mr Fremer's set-up expertise.  Hoping to breathe new life into and get back more from a couple thousand vinyl friends of mine.smiley

Beautiful looking VPI turntable and Dynavector cartridge. Can't wait to hear it in my home!

ARCSP8MkII's picture

   It would be wonderful to win this VPI/Dynavector combination. My current turntable/catridge combination is 30 years old and I'm certain that my system could be bettered by adding such a fine set-up. My 1000+ LP's would sound even better, being played by a new cartridge on a new part of their surface. Ah, perchance to dream.

trahretxed's picture

Finally something that will do my Chipmunks collection justice.

upsetter801's picture

For this generous opportunity (and for your work on Tron!).

robert malinka's picture

A great turntable that would fit perfectly with my analog vinyl collection and I would greatly appreciate the equipment contribution to my audio system.

Sign me up - need a new rig, so I can hand down old one!

Good luck to me!

dotwacky's picture

Sounds great to me. Please count me in.

mikedenver's picture

Great site, and notalotta shmunda!!

Here's an even cheaper way to adjust azimuth: take a dual RCA male to RCA female phono Y cable (RadioShack 4202535), cut, reverse and solder one of the leads, then listen to a mono test track like Cardas side 2, and adjust the cartridge for minimal sound output. This works for me until that digital microscope comes along!

If I don't win I'll probably whine about it and then have some wine about it

and then I'll be fine about it.
