I had a super platter on my VPI Superscoutmaster.....the changing to the Classic platter was a significant step upward...you didn't need super-hearing to hear the difference. The soundstage opened up, looking back, highs sounded like they were non-existant with the Superplatter in comparison, the Superplatter was turgid, thick, and dead. The Classic platter's highs are not at all bright, just silky smoothe and fast. Get the Classic platter...I haven't heard the mag-lev platter, but I strongly suspect the difference between that and the Classic is not nearly as great as between the Super platter and Classic.
Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV?
I'm hoping some of you can answer these questions. I'm using the non-inverted bearing and a TNT II platter (acrylic/metal?, sandwich). Is the inverted bearing a significant upgrade and is the (new) Classic platter (aluminum/stainless) superior to the Superplatter? Is the inverted bearing a snug fit in the MkIV plinth? My bearing has a flange with 3 holes for small bolts to secure it to the plinth. The inverted bearing has one large nut on the bottom therefore it seems like it would need to fit snuggly in the cutout of the plinth.
