To Fellow VPI enthusiasts,
I had the chance last week to trade plus cash my VPI TNT MK 2.5 + PLC to a VPI TNT MK 4 w/ TNT MK6 upgrade + SDS(platter, bearing,airball suspension and 2 motor single flywheel assembly same as HRX) What was absent was the Peripheral ring Clamp. I installed my tonearm and cartridge that came from my old TNT and was astounded by the sound of my new turntable.I cant imagine what improvement I will get if in tthe future I install the optional rim drive.

Did you get the Classic Al platter or the combo Super platter?
Rim will get you better solidity and harmonic timing. But Al platter really nails it. Less of that polite sound, bass like one hears on tape, greater transparency and resolution.
