VPI SDS Whys and Hows?


Hi Folks, I have a HW-19Jr with Mk-IV Platter (Non SAMA), and VPI SDS.

I had noted upon acquiring this brand new SDS, that there was slight difficulty plugging the Stock wimpy Power Cord from the HW-19 to the SDS, as the Receptacle is recessed, and a tight squeeze getting the connector in. (Why the heck did Harry do this!?)

Over the months, I have thought of going the SAMA route, and of course, preferably the newer SAMA with IEC Connector, so that a better aftermarket Power Cord could be utilized. (perhaps a bargain priced Cord from Signal Cable?)

In this scenario, how would one then plug these Cords with their quite large Male Connectors into the SDS with this so tiny cutout in the Unit?

Advice would be deeply appeciated thanks, Mark

I have a new Superscoutmaster and the cord fits absolutely perfectly into that cutout provided on the SDS. Why would you want a new powercord? The SDS fixes electrical problems and feeds it to the motor(s) You might make the sound different, but I doubt you will make it better. Richard Vandersteen told me that very thing when I asked about better power cords to my 5A's
