"I think the Classic version I ordered has the DC controlled motor you mentioned earlier, so I won't be able to use a Phoenix, though apparently VPI makes something called an ADS speed controller that will work"
Huh? Interesting. I took a quick peek at the specs. Your table has the 300 RPM motor. Does it still have a wall wart you plug into the motor? If it does, then I guess it does have an on board AC regen.
In any case, yes the deviation is subtle. Only when audio nervosa kicks in, we get obsessive about mechanical perfection. I suppose belt wear makes a difference.
I heard the Orto Black. It's a nice MM cart. When I went LOMC, I never looked back.
That ADS appears to just be the "new and improved" SDS. I'm sure it's great, but for the cost, the Phoenix just seems like a better buy.
