VPI Ceramic Platter
I can not tell you if the ceramic platter does or does not damp vibrations...all I know is what I hear. They guy next door hears an improvement, my wife does, and I do.....I don't care HOW it works, only that it does. The bad mouthing of VPI/Harry... 
Speaker cables: $3000 or $380. What do you get??
When I first got all my Ayre equipment, I naturally wired everything with Ayre cable (which is made and for all practicality Cardas cables). One day a friend came over to listen to my new system and brought a pair of Audioquest Sky cables which RE... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
Sytax..What I meant was that the setup perameters have to be reset...VTF, Azimuth, leveling the turntable proper, etc. The Superplatter is WAY different in sound...stodgy, muffled, and (because I have the rim drive) makes the tonearm sway in sync ...

Pmotz.... I understand I got one of the first of the production...Harry was trying to iron out some manufacturing glitches he said. Although its not yet on the website, if you call or write to VPI, they will accommodate your request. I have a Supe... 
Any rock fans out there?
I come from the Fleetwood Mac era 
VPI Ceramic Platter
Hiendmuse....nope...inverted spindle, however, I couldn't use the one from the Classic ...something was different. I'm uncomfortable to publish a price...if you contact VPI, they'll tell you. 
VPI Classic 4, any one have it?
I just posted my take on the ceramic platter, but it hasn't been published yet. My very strong advice is to get the Ceramic platter...it is very clearly better than the Classic...and not by a little. 
after TT upgrade, digital sounds like crap- help
Radambe...No, you just have to upgrade your digital gear. I have both a CD player and vinyl, and find pleasure in them both. The real bottom line is how the performance was recorded....playback will only give you what was recorded..good, or bad. 
VPI Classic 4, any one have it?
I understand the ceramic platter was developed for the upcoming direct drive table. So far I hear more clarity with less "tizzies" on the high frequencies...but I still have to listen further....just got it a few hours ago. 
Dynaudio C1 and voices
Xti16....its not a good idea to have your back up against a wall. You are getting resonance and the reverse wave back. I know sometimes the furniture and the wife demands it.....try a rug mounted on the back wall 
VPI Classic 4, any one have it?
I just got the new ceramic platter... With the first listen, it sounds better than the classic platter. CSNG1....make sure your new 4 has the ceramic platter instead of the aluminum one. 
A New Use for VPI Flattening Ring
I believe that Elizabeth got it right. I tried rocks, sand, can of tomatoes, a metal tray, etc.....they all changed the sound somewhat, however, the ring sounds the best. 
Jeff Rowland Capri S2
Why don't you call Rowland and ask?? There are a very few companies that I would completely trust.....Rowland, Ayre, VPI, Vandersteen....I think that's it. 
Power cord suggestions?
...or save money and get high performance and build it yourself. I am using Acrolink cable with Furutech or Oyeida plugs. Very happy 
Should I purchase Anticable Level 2, or 3?
...and I find that Anti's are the best for MY system. All cables are system dependent...you really should listen to both to make your decision. They both have a money back guarantee. I've had nearly all permutations of the Anti-Cable series, and t...
