Upgrade for Vpi aries table


I have the original Aries and they now offer a platter upgrade and a ring clamp. I was also considering the SDS speed control. If you could only pick one at this time what upgrade would give you the best results.

SDS first will give you the biggest bang for your upgrade dollar. The ring is great but having to replace the platter makes it a pricey upgrade.
Markd51 is right on. I've owned several VPI tables and not one was totally speed accurate. All running a bit fast. The SDS corrects this, isolates the table from the wall outlet and lowers the noise floor. This is why I consider the SDS the most significant first upgrade.
