Speed Box for turntable

My turntable is VPI Junior (upgraded versions) with alphason tonearm and Denon DL-103 cartridge. This set up is used for years. I would like anyone who are VPI fans and have the use of VPI Speed box or other brand's speed box to tell me what is the difference in sonic performance before and after the introduction of the said speed box.

Rushton, point taken and noted. My technical side always looks to find the answer or reasoning behind things, only to be proven wrong with a listening test. I can't tell you how many times I am just left scratching my head in disbelief when something really should not improve sonic quality, but it somehow does. I've learned this too many times before and sometimes I still wrestle in keeping an open mind. Walker 'table, you lucky dog!

Totally agree with you about being left scratching my head in disbelief on many of these issues, Dlwask. That is one of the never-ending mysteries for me of this hobby. :-)

Yes, the Walker Proscenium tt is a treat. If you're ever in the Philadelphia area I'd enjoy having you over here to share some music. Same to other Audiogoners.

I have an old VPI PLC (third one and I got it used) and it diffently makes a differernce. Not only that but they lower thje voltage automaticly which lowers motor vibrations and adds years to your motor. Only thing is a VPI SDS is $1000 and the Walker is $1600. Not exactly chump champ! I do plan to get the SDS someday....
