More from VPI!

I must say things are going pretty well for VPI.  Not bad for a company that makes you pay extra for an anti-skate contraption.  This particular model's aesthetics are not my cup of tea.  Maybe for $10K it comes with platinum wire and a titanium chassis?  Gotta love this crazy hobby!

Chassis looks like a squared-up Prime Sig on rubber feet.  Didn't know VPI had a gimbal  arm that was in the same league as any of their unipivots. 

Well, the chassis incorporates the same concept as my Thorens TD850, which is a proprietary layer covering a MDF/steel sandwich. Mine was designed by Acoustic Signature, though, and has their unique bearing, spindle and platter construction. I'm also using an Audiomods arm, Origin Live Ultimate motor and carbon fiber mods to both the motor and tone arm boards.

Mine  cost way less than $10,000. Way less! But I sourced and pieced my together, as well as shop smart.

My local audio society will be visiting the VPI factory on January 15th.  We may get to see and hear this 'table and other new goodies!  I am very stoked for this!

Have you seen the Shinola TTs with parts sourced from VPI?
