VPI TNT Super Platter

Interesting, I was told by Mike at VPI that the Super Platter is indeed no longer available from them since they are now deploying the new aluminum platter.

Mike also mentioned that since my VPI Scoutmaster is configured with the SSM carbon-infused "black" acrylic platter (instead of the "white" acrylic platter) and that I always use the VPI Periphery Ring and VPI Center Weight, there would be very little benefit to upgrading my platter to their newer aluminum platter.

The 25lb SuperPlatter has been discontinued. The 30lb SuperPlatter is still available. However, the 30lb SuperPlatter comes with the larger bearing and will consequently require drilling a larger hole in the plinth to accommodate the increased diameter. I bought the last 25lb SuperPlatter at discount from Elusive Disc. As it was their last one, they apparently decided to "let it go" as it was no longer going to be an inventoried piece.

I mounted the 25lb SuperPlatter on my fully upgraded Aries 2 Extended. It made little difference, but it looks really cool. To read and see the specifics of my fully upgraded Aries 2 Extended please see Seadog (my VA pen name) at Vinyl Asylum “Life Is A Beach Stereo” in the members profile section.

was told by vpi that the super platter is discontinued and repl by the aluminum one and has been removed from the accessory list on their website,,
