For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work?

I spoke to AJ Conti this morning about rebuilding my Basis 2500 motor to the Signature Series motor.
AJ felt the Signature model didn't "need" the SDS or Walker to sound better as there was very little electrical "noise"and cogging from the upgraded motor but he did say the speed controllers would help if I had fluctuations in power.
To get the benefit of a controller (his controller) the motor would have to be rewired for the reasons Larryi has stated!

Das and Samhar,

Regardless of whether you decide a power conditioner is worth the cost for a Basis table, you should consider getting a new belt from Basis. The newer, precision ground belt is a big improvement over an older belt and is not too costly. I don't really know how to quantify the difference, but two of my friends who heard a belt and Basis synchro upgrade thought the belt made more of a difference.

I was fortunate mine came with the upgraded belt, thanks for the thought!!

I know this is off the subject, but a question for Samhar and/or fellow Basis owners. I noticed in Samhars system page,he refers to his tonearm cable as Basis copper. I believe my PSST cable on my Vector mk.3 is silver.
Is there an option for a copper cable instead of the silver cable. I suppose a call to Mr. Conti would be in order.

I have the original Vector arm which is copper from Discovery Cable. I have always loved the Discovery cable for tonearm wires.
