In Reply to: This kit is the ultimate upgrade for anyone using a turntable powered by an AC synchronous motor. posted by B.K. on January 10, 2008 at 15:12:36:
I was very interested in the Synchrotron AC-1 when Mark first announced the product. But after looking at the price of an assembled unit the I have decided to look for a used VPI SDS. A used SDS usually sells for around $700 on audiogon. (about $50 dollars more than a new assembled Synchrotron AC-1 when you include shipping.
The VPI SDS offers adjustment of both the voltage and frequency fed to the turntable motor and has been appreciated by a lot of inmates who run VPI's.
For a small difference in cost, I would much rather have a product that's UL tested for safety (no small concern if you have ever had a house fire as I have), is made by a company with a good track record for service and longevity, doesn't have to be shipped to Australia for repair, and has proven resell value should I ever decide to sell it.
Please don't interprete this post as an attack on Mark's fine effort. I just think that the SDS (even new at about $900) is a better value.
