For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work?


I was wondering if anyone has used the VPI SDS power conditioner/speed regulator for their Basis turntable? The Basis Synchro thing is very expensive!

thanks for any input.

Samhar- Thanks for checking on it. My guess is that all Vectors that use the hard-wired proprietary cable use PSST silver.
Fjn04,
I e-mailed A.J. his reply:

"On the Vector it is a model 1 or model 2. What color are the wires that form the wire loop? If they are white/blue/red/green the arm is a Model 1 and the cable is Discovery. If they are purpleish in color it is a model 2. Those would be our own design cable."

The wires in my tone arm are white/blue/red/green so I have a Vector 1 with Discovery Cable.

I'm very happy with this as I wanted all Copper cable and purchased this TT because of that (didn't want any silver)!!

Sam,

Thanks. I prefer copper cabling as well. This is going
to be tough to address for two reasons. A.J.'s PSST is
silver, so he will likely be insulted if I ask him to
change it to another brand. The second reason of course is
just having to send the arm in for the rewire.
Fjn04,

Dre has it correct, this is what A.J. said about the PSST being a copper cable with silver coating and the Discovery Cable.

'No, this is copper wire, and sounds much, much better than the Discovery, which is very veiled in comparison.'

I'll be the one sending the arm in for rewiring........ eventually.
