What direction is VPI headed?

Inna is basing this on the astonishing rise in the popularity of Vinyl and the associated gear used to play this stuff…makes perfect sense.

Also, 3 local-ish audio "salons" I've visited over the last several months carry a Pro-Ject "The Classic" TT I've wondered about since it came out to pretty good reviews last year. The shop in New Hampshire said the only table that suited me is a new VPI Scout though the amoeba style base looked too weird  (I own a great sounding Linn Basik/Akito that I'm afraid will die before I replace it…but I'm not in a hurry), another was certain a Rega/Feikert/Hana rig was the one for me, and a third shop has had a "Classic" for months and nobody has listened to it. Lame…the Pro-ject is around a grand, the ones suggested to me are all around 2 grand, and they wonder why people shop online.

Consumers are a fickle bunch that can quickly turn , made in the USA or not. Creating exclusivity such as is alluded to above in a shrinking market , and the constant reworking and naming of virtually the same product, in an already tighter consumer spending era could possibly finally bite them in the arse.
Not a knock on the product itself, many like them and the made in the USA mantra , but IMHO, not having other real competition in the same market nationally has made the innovation and design of their tables lazy and marketing over pushed ahead of the previous.
I get that people want to buy something from a company they feel will be around longer, but, it still doesn't change the reality a lack of competition and the fear the Old business supporters portray of any other outside the country options. Doesn't make either products bad or better, it just has a tendency to repackage the same old over and over .  I'm not a fan of VPI personally, but that's a choice made based on the playback, I prefer, not the product so much itself. Any entity  that continues to build and promote products for the use of vinyl is good in my book.  
Someone predicted the demise, which if anything will kill it, its pricing has become idiotic for both new and the absurd prices people put on tired out of shape tables of yesteryear. Some of which certainly are a measure of respectable , but in reality are far from  worth the original price let alone 5 to 10 times it some 40 years onward . 

These days the situation with digital is totally different than it was 20 years ago. Computer music is going to take over almost everything. There probably will be some companies left doing custom orders, very much like you can get new tape heads made for your Studer.
There is no vinyl resurgence in a true sense, in my opinion, it is a temporary fashion phenomenon and it looks more like an agony than anything else. Most people in their twenties have never even seen a turntable. It's almost over. Sorry, guys.

If I listen to Inna, this is what I am to believe,  VPI is headed to HELL , but will have a lot of company because all the others are already there, digital is totally different than it was 20 years ago, there is not a vinyl resurgence it is actually a fashion statement and most of our youth do not know what a record is anyway. Wow did I have it wrong.

If I listen to Inna

Don't make the mistake of listening to inna.
