Smart move for VPI, big company makes big orders using similar parts.  The risk for the TT success is on Harmon. 
other than the plinth is looks kinda like a Prime (or Scout for that matter). It would be interesting to compare the two. The prime is half the price so it better be significantly better for the $10K they are asking!
Perfect it will go well with the phono stage I build!!!

Thanks for posting.

Happy Listening.

and yet another company jumps in/back in to vinyl, too bad its ugly but I suppose that in the eye of the person looking at it. )
