VPI Super Platter - where is it?


Anyone know why the VPI Super Platter is no longer listed as an upgrade item under the Accessories section of VPI's web site?

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.
The aluminum platters are here because the quality acrylic is gettig harder to find. This topic has been discussed here berfore.
