RE: REVIEW: VPI Industries Prime Turntables

I am on the road until the end of next week, but promise to report back on my Prime using the Phoenix tachometer (Roadrunner) with and without the Eagle and will even run the Prime with the Eagle and the Roadrunner both connected to each other versus not connected to each other. I refrained from including these items in my review of the Prime because I did not want to confuse the issue. Let me say a few things right now. I have a KAB SL1200 that can act as a frame of reference. My Prime runs a wee bit fast as reported in my review of it, after motor warmup 33.595-33.605 rpm according to the Roadrunner. My SL1200 runs 33.334 rock steady after warmup, but the motor in it is controlled direct drive. This information does verify that the Roadrunner is accurate. These numbers for both turntables are obtained without the Eagle in the loop, which can't be used with the SL1200 anyway. In my opinion, Harry's report that Prime turntables that he has checked in New Jersey are running at the correct speed is entirely credible. This is a function of the control being applied by the power companies and it is perhaps true that Florida Power & Light is delivering power that slightly higher frequency and higher voltage too as compared to the power in NJ. I will endeavor to report later on the influence any of this has on the sound of the Prime.
