sds powered on constantly???

I have just received a vpi sds and wondered if it is better to leave it powered on all the time as I do with the rest of my system or just power it up when I want to use it. When powered up I use the tt motor to switch the platter on or off..........

Absolutely correct. I left my SDS power up for 7 years without any issues.

Did you guys notice an improvment in sound quality with SDS?

Would one of you guys give me the exact dimensions of the sds?

Jsman-

*Mine is 16"W x 3.75"H x 9"D

*Definitely a sonic improvement with my VPI Aries2 ext. w/ 12.5 arm. Immediately apparent with the first record played.

*I suppose you can keep it running All The Time, but I doubt there's a sonic reason to do so, and one advantage to using the SDS as the motor on/off switch is that the SDS can also be used as a reference to how much time is on your cart-as long as you're consistent about turning it off after every listening session.
