VPI has discontinued the 'super platter' and replaced it with an all alumnium platter which includes the inverted bearing. Don't have full details. VPI needs to give some explanation of why the new platter, weighting less, will be better then the 'super'. I think two steps back has been taken. Oh, the price of the new platter is 800, before trade in of 200. Seems Harry has been listening to his customers with this new pricing.
VPI Scoutmaster Super Platter
I'm wondering if i upgrade to the Super platter for my VPI Scoutmaster will I hear much of an improvement? Will the improvement be small because I'm already using the steel periphery ring and steel spindle weight which adds roughly 13 lbs to the present acryllic platter? Thanks.
