is VPI's new "Super Platter" a worthwhile upgrade?


VPI just began shipping their new 25-pound "Super Platter" for ALL models of VPI turntables except the HR-X. At $1200, it ain't cheap. I'm wondering how much of an upgrade it would be from the rather massive all-black platter that came with my Super Scout Master about 2 years ago. All ideas most welcome.

I kid you not, the new Super Platter is a smash success. I have heard so many people criticize Harry for the cost of the upgrade. I for one am grateful that he came up with the new platter. It smokes the original.

Many highend companies improve their products. Why is VPI getting so much flak? My HRX sounds incredible with the new Super Platter. I highly recommend it.
The price is a bit cost prohibitive, I'll give you that. When you measure that against the performance improvement, you will soon forget about the cost.

I was fortunate enough to find one steeply discounted, here on Audiogon
