When changing records on my VPI Scoutmaster is it better to stop the turntable platter by using the turntable motor on/off button or the SDS on/off button? Thanks
The biggest difference is that if you use the button on the SDS you take advantage of a voltage ramp while the record gets up to speed-a little bit easier on the SAMA.
I think you would be better off using the motor switch. The SDS will start the motor off at full voltage then ramp down to the preselected running voltage after a few seconds. You don't need to switch the SDS off and on to get this feature. Switching the SDS off and on will cause more stress on the SDS circuitry compared to leaving it on continuously.
