Black Diamond Racing/VPI Vibration Control

Anyone have any experience with the Black Diamond Racing/VPI Vibration Control Kit available from the MusicDirect catalog for use with the VPI Aries? (This consists of four mini-pucks for the feet and a round shelf for the motor.) Also, any experience with the one piece dust cover available from the same catalog (as opposed to the standard two-piece VPI dust cover)? Any thoughts, pro or con, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your response.

The BDR stuff works great w/VPI - I have not experimented with that exact kit but in general I've had really good luck with BDR under the TNT and Aries tables.

I was interested in BDR stuff too till I heard and eventually purchased Symposium shelves and rollerblocks. I plan to purchase a Symposium shelf for my VPI tt as soon as possible. www.symposium.com

BDR round things (Pucks) under the cones of the Aries made one heck of a difference.Even better if you use the BDR cones with the pucks. Also the record clamp is well worth the purchase. Heads over heals better than the VPI clamp.

I purchased the Scout Cover while it was sold here on Audiogon. At that time only one model was available. Now two styles are offered by this same individual, but sold through MusicDirect. The craftmanship of these dust covers are very good! I prefer the newer (and unfortunately more expensive) model that is now offered. This newer model sits ON the turntable versus the first one that sits OVER the turntable. I'm sure its a matter of personal taste though.
