Does VPI ADS work with Basis Gold Debut?

The ADS is old technology so far as even VPI is concerned.  I think it predates the SDS, which is in turn superseded by other superior devices.  However, if you perceive it to be beneficial, there is no harm in using it (that I know of, anyway).  For max benefit, I would use the Basis speed controller made by Basis for Basis TTs.

@lewm , the ADS is VPI’s latest motor controller.  It replaced the SDS.  

Rumour has it that SOTA will be reviving the old Phoenix Eagle / Roadrunner for a single phase AC synchronous motor.  SOTA’s current motor controller (Eclipse)  is for their 3-phase Condor motor. 

Test pilot. Mea culpa. Thanks for correcting me. I use the Eagle/Roadrunner to control the Lenco motor.

The Phoenix products are excellent. I have a Falcon that I was using with my Basis and the micro adjustments really let you lock the speed in. The only thing is, the Falcon has a 5v limit, which runs very hot with the Basis 5v motor and I was concerned about longevity, which is why a bought an ADS. I spoke to SOTA a couple years back and asked them if they were ever going to re-release the standard Phoenix models, but, at least back then they had no plans. If they released the Eagle, which has a significantly higher output than the Falcon, I would definitely buy it. 

Can't speak to the VPI, but a I use a Walker speed controller with my Basis Ovation for the same reason you cite about changing the pulley, it works very well.
