VPI Super Platter - where is it?

i heard it was discontinued in lieu of the new aluminum platter that comes with the classic, scout 2, and (soon to be released) scoutmaster 2. email vpi to confirm/deny. they reply quickly.

It's discontinued. I just got the Classic, and it replaced an Aries with the original platter (later called the Super Platter) and I can tell you this table blows that one away.

Try the new platter, it's cheaper I believe.

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
