Ordered a VPI classic 1
I just ordered one in ash black with the dynavector dv 10x5. Good combo from what I read. Should beat my rega rp3! Pretty excited. Anybody have that combo?

Guys, my friend says that if it's got an AC motor and there is no outboard power supply (I guess there is an optional one for like 1500 bucks) that the classic won't be any better than my Rega in terms of speed accuracy. He says it's only as good as my wall socket, which is crap. How true is that statement? Does the motor have any kind of filtering or speed control built in? Their website doesn't say much other than "speed stability on par with master tape". That's pretty big a claim.

The speed of an AC motor like the one used in the classic is synced to the frequency of the supply current which is 60Hz here in the US. You can add a $2,000 audiophile hospital grade blessed by unicorns socket, the frequency is still going to be 60Hz.

I wouldn't have thought the mains frequency, whether 50hz or 60hz would be the motor drive frequency. I'd expect a built in crystal controlled circuit to determine the frequency ergo the motors stability.
Synchronous motors use mains frequency such as electric clocks, unfortunately are not particularly accurate (in the UK anyway) for timekeeping. |
