VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER!

Luckily @br3098, the Aries 1 motor collar is removable. And just about any 9 or 10" arm can be used in place of the JMW 10.

Br3098, The Vanquish is direct drive. Only the second such ever produced by VPI. On that level, it can honestly be said to be truly new and possibly improved compared to its single antecedent. You can decide for yourself if you are stunned by it. Or not.

The Vanquish is actually VPI's third DD turntable.

The table's projected price does not make sense when you break it down into its components.  As VPI has done in the past, sometimes they build a statement product just to see if it can be done and hope to take some of their findings and trickle it down into their "main" production run.  Similarly to what they did with their first $30K DD table which spawned a second $15K DD table.  Is VPI trying to be like Ford and challenging the Ferrari's of the TT world?  I wish any manufacture of niche audio products luck, we need them.

cleeds, Thanks for the correction, although I don't think it negates my original point, which I have forgotten now.  What VPI DD did I apparently completely miss out on?  Because even now I cannot recall their third of 3 efforts in that category. I'm willing to accept that you are correct, however, because I am not a VPI customer.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
