RE: VPI analog drive system (ADS)

I came across this post the other day:
http://vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13319
He has installed it on a VPI HW-19 with photos.
The interesting bit is this:
"I found that many regard the SDS as superior to the ADS, but I viewed this as typical internet banter. What I did know is that either would set me back in the four figure range. I continued to explore TT speed control devices, including the Walker, Rega and Music Hall units, and came across Phoenix Engineering. His design and utility appealed to me and I was disappointed to find he was out of business. I used HIFI shark to look for his devices used (also around $1000), along with the ADS or SDS, but was unable to acquire any, which was ultimately a blessing. I was delighted to find Phoenix had risen from the ashes, was now aligned with SOTA turntables and was offering the Total Eclipse package, which included a speed controller with separate tachometer and a new and far more quiet, powerful and sophisticated motor. All this for about the same price as the other options."
