No doubt it is.  That's also an HRX 2-motor pod.  Maybe it's the photo, but the aluminum part of the chassis looks a little thicker.  I don't know if this table was, or is going to be released.

It's out, available.  Magnetic levitation assisted platter.  $15K
Harry says it's almost as good as the Direct and half the money.

Sure is sexier than my Super Scoutmaster  :cry:  VPI has so many design iterations it makes one's head spin.  I wonder about the minimal plinth vs the extreme "mass damping" of the SSM. 

FWIW the SSM sounds so wonderfully engaging that when I listen, I have no thoughts of upgrading or changing anything.  It is only when I read the forums or the print magazines that the bug returns!
