VPI Analogue Drive System

stringreen, Having compared the SDS to the ADS with a friends Classic 3 signature. One thing the ADA absolutely did was wipe out noise that I didn't really notice until we switched it in. It's an immediate  and noticeable improvement with his table. He purchased it on that alone, not sure what the sonic improvements are, I'll ask now that he has had more time to compare the two units.  

Thanks tom....  I just listened again to mine, and find it dead silent....I guess I have to get one to test out in my system

Tom:  eagerly awaiting your report re sonic improvements with ADS unit.  This was my original question.

I used an SDS for many years.  A bullet-proof device.  As for noise from it; there wasn't any at all.  I replaced it with an Eagle/Roadrunner,  Performance, as far as I can tell, is identical--but for issues that RR addresses.  Odd to hear about any noise issue with the SDS.  

A rare occasion where stringreen isn't a vocal proponent of a VPI product!

I can only assume the ADS is better based soley on the fact VPI has discounted their stock of SDSs and heavily promoted the ADS.

They sent me one after my complaints. I have still not inserted it w/ my Classic3 into my main system to listen.

The question remains..Why does a customer have to purchase a speed controller when they have just spent thousands on a TT?
