VPI Super Platter - where is it?

Harry is up to his old tricks again. The aluminum platter will in no way blow away the Aries I platter or the platter in the high end VPI players. The Super Platter never did. Guy's, it is all about the physics of 'mass'. Under normal conditions, aluminum will 'ring'. Putting these aluminum platters in the bottom of the line was made necessary by the bottom line motor's inability to move 'mass'. Doubt you will see aluminum in his premium product anytime soon.

New aluminum platter is $800 according to revised price list, haven't tried it yet.

I understand that the aluminum platter will be offered for the Superscoutmaster as well

Buconero117, is HW now using different motors throughout the product line? Both 600RPM and 300RPM Hurst motors that I'm familiar with are comfortable with 40+ lbs. platters.

I have had the Aries I (original platter), the Scoutmaster with the acrylic platter (then the Super Platter) not in theory, or at someone else's house, or at a dealer, and the Classic (which I now own) blows them away. No contest. Maybe the "ringing" from the aluminum platter adds to the experience, but the rig sounds better. It's faster, more balanced, easier to set up, with much greater range. It's a great table.

$2500, thank you very much. I'm done with turntable testing for a long, long time.
