I can only warn you about what I've experienced; what you do is up to you.

FYI, the Eagle would run the motor on your turntable just fine; after 20-30 mins, the output amp will reach ~60°C which is the upper limit of the safe operating range and something we're not comfortable with, that's why we don't recommend to do this.

I know the VPI manual says "Don't plug anything into the SDS greater than 30W". That doesn't mean it is rated at 30W. The fact is the SDS has an output transformer rated at 20W. The Eagle has a 25W transformer but you never want to run a device at full rated power for extended periods of time. If you doubt what I'm trying to warn you about, remove the top cover of the SDS and touch the the heatsinks with your hand after 30 mins of operation.

I just measured the SDS output when set for 84VAC into a 20W (resistive) load; it dropped to 72VAC. YMMV.
