The VPI super platter is a rehash of the TNT 3,4,and 5 platters which are superior to solid aluminum (that rings).
The old TNT (I like the TNT 3) platters were Aluminum, cork, lead, acrylic, sandwiches, balanced to aerospace standards, and cost fortune to manufacture. They were the best!
Harry has gotten lazy and cheap, and wants profit over quality, going to easier to manufacture, and cheaper, solid acrylic and aluminum. It shows in everything they now make!
The super platter was the last good platter by VPI!
VPI has gone to high profit, and "New is better BS" over basic good design quality, because that sells!
Everything VPI made before the "Scout" turntable was "real" quality!
