RE: VPI SDS or This?

Posted by Bones13 on May 14, 2014 at 13:54:37:
I have been using the Phoenix Audio Falcon unit, with the Roadrunner tachometer for about a month now.

I have not used any other speed control device. So I cannot compare. I have been watching the K&K site for more than a year waiting for Kevin to put his out there, and finally gave up. I do love his Maxxed Phono Amp.

The Roadrunner is quiet, and with the ongoing tachometer control link, the speed is very stable. I was playing some organ for my father this past weekend, and really noticed the speed stability helping the low notes, with absolutely black silence when there was supposed to be. The needle drop was so quiet, he missed it and almost jumped when the organ started up.

I like the system. Well priced, great function. No mods to the VPI system at all. Importantly for me, I am no longer afraid of 45 speed records. Previously I had to reset the band and pulleys for 45, get the strobe out to fine tune it. Going back to 33 required the same.
