Does VPI ADS work with Basis Gold Debut?

Anybody out there have experience with adding a speed control to a Basis Gold Debut?   Will an ADS (VPI) work with this turntable?   I would like not to have to change the pulley for 45rpm., plus take advantage of more stable speed.  Basis own speed control is beyond what I'm willing to spend, and of course Basis will not answer whether the ADS will operate with their turntable.

Isn’t the amplifier unit of the SOTA eclipse system equivalent to the Eagle amplifier in the Phoenix system? The Eagle makes 25 W, and that is why I use it to drive my Lenco motor. Why not just adapt the SOTA eclipse system? If it’s not 25 W, I am pretty sure it makes more than 5 W and would work better than your present power source.

Test pilot. Mea culpa. Thanks for correcting me. I use the Eagle/Roadrunner to control the Lenco motor.

The ADS is old technology so far as even VPI is concerned.  I think it predates the SDS, which is in turn superseded by other superior devices.  However, if you perceive it to be beneficial, there is no harm in using it (that I know of, anyway).  For max benefit, I would use the Basis speed controller made by Basis for Basis TTs.
