Has anybody seen a production version of the Classic 4?   Roy Gregory did a comparo review against a Clearaudio Master Reference, and there are differences between his description and the accompanying picture and the info on VPI's page.  For instance, Roy mentions the plinth is made of MDF, steel, and aliminum, where as VPI doesn't mention the Al (although it sure looks like Al in the picture.)  Also, Roy's picture and text mentions dual belts and shows a single diameter pulley - thereby requiring the use of the SDS for speed control (and implying that it is included in the text)  while the VPI picture shows the traditional dual pulley and single belt.

So does the production version use the standard classic dual pulley or not?

A user on Agon reported a significant upgrade from the other Classics.  Here's a picture of one w/2 arms.  It's about 3/4 of the way down the page.  Nice looking table - appears to have one belt.

Not yet.  I wanted to see if there was any real world experience first.
