VPI Traveler

I noticed when I received my new Classic 1 this week that there is now an external power "block" as opposed to the older models that had the standard 3 prong power cable going straight into the back. I was curious why that change was made, but it could have something to do with what you mention here.

I'd be interested to know if the SDS would even give an improvement in sound now after that change.

Where did you come to find this information?

Is the circuit board an AC regenerator that also reduces the motor voltage after startup like the SDS?

I doubt that!

BS from VPI!

String.... I wonder if existing Classic tables can be upgraded to take the new circuit configuration?

I understand that the Traveler, andClassic series is now being configured with a built in SDS-like gizmo so there's no need for an SDS.
