PS Audio P500 vs VPI SDS

Will plugging your TT's motor into the P500 yield the same benefit as plugging it into the VPI SDS? The P500 has a "Multi Wave" feature that generates pure 60HZ AC.

It needs 60hz sine wave. Keep in mind the p500 has several settings in multiwave. I have a p600 and have my VPI TNT JR pluged into it at 60 hz sine wave and it does not sound fast as I know the SDS will run at 57 hz, the SDS is more accurate. I would recomend the SDS over just plugging it in the p500 but on the used market thats 650 bucks than you allready have assuming you have a p500. David

I was on PS Audios site thinking of upgradeing my p600 from mutiwave I to multiwave II. Noticing that the p500 has the multiwave II and tubewave. With multiwave II in sine wave 50hz to 120hz it can be adjusted in 1 hz increments, giving you more control in a AC motor. Multiwave I is in 5 hz increments in sine wave 50hz to 120hz. There you go , keep in mind every thing else pluged into will be at the same setting. David
