Which is the best VPI Platter?

Second Brf's list.

"As good or better than any table available at any price". As a current TNT6/5 platter owner who has owned four other VPI models, I can unequivocally say: No way! Good, but there are much better out there.

If you value black backgrounds, tonally dense images and superior pitch stability, the heavier mixed material platters are better than the acrylic.

The newest one that Harry is selling. Long ago Harry adopted the Detroit business model, a new platter every year. Think about it, Harry has been at this for over 40 years, if he can't figure it out by now he is admitting that it is the 'change' business model. I am always surprised Harry does not have an 'arm of the year'. I do have a VPI TT and I am very happy with it. VPI makes could products.

Opinions will vary, but based on my personal experience the best performing VPI platters are:

1) TNT Mk5 – 1/2 Delrin and 1/2 Sainless Steel
2) TNT Super Platter – 1/3 Delrin, 1/3 Stainless Steel, 1/3 Delrin
3) TNT Mk4 – 2/3 Delrin and 1/3 Stainless Steel
4) New Classic Aluminum platter
5) TNT Early Lead and Cork combinations
6) Frosted Acrylic

Tojo - you need to move this to the analog forum. Contact service. Cheers

I have had quite a few and from my experence and that of some of my friends I think that the SuperPlatter was probably the best but since I never heard all the ones I had on the same table it is hard to say for sure. I personally liked the acrylic better than the aluminum ones but others don't.
