Well said, Twl! My short pontification is that the better the speed control the better (more accurate) the pitch, therefore the better the music. I have the VPI SDS and am using it in conjunction with the VPI HW-19 Mk. III table. My music IS better using this unit. To me, well worth the price of admission.
Speed regulation - how important will it be?
I own the Basis 2001 TT with the Grahmm 2.2 and Ruby2 Cartridge. I recently purchased the Kobe Strobe kit to test the speed at 33 1/3. The instructions state that if you see the number move less than 10 times in a minute than the speed is fine. Mine moved 2 times. I assume this means that the speed is fairly close to perfection. If I purchased the VPI-SDS speed control, will I hear any real benefits?
P.S. I also tested the speed pluging my TT into the PS Audio P300. There was no difference. I was a little suprised.
