maybe a better name is ’The Harlot’? :-)
who would want that thing in their room? hopefully there are choices for the accent color. or maybe VPI visits different customer rooms than i’ve ever seen. i can’t recall a room where that would look right.
i guess it’s possible that in person it has an elegance that pictures completely miss.
and i’m a guy with expensive red and gold anodized amps and preamp.......so i am open to the color red. but with an ’elegant’ sort of feel. my darTZeel’s are not universally loved for their look. but this one takes that over-the-top.
seriously; i’m sure it will be a strong performer as VPI is a competent company. do they have the musical vision to play in that league? maybe they do. i love my direct drive Wave Kinetics NVS sitting on an active platform......so a big direct drive on it’s own rack appeals to me. like my gone for 8 years now Rockport Sirius III. i hope it’s wonderful sounding as we can always use another top flight turntable. and most all the other ’over’ 6 figure tt’s are belt driven.
will the market ’buy' an ’uber’ tt with the VPI brand? it’s a question. it will have to be more than very good. i do give VPI lots of credit for being all-in on this tt thing we all like.
i hopefully will hear it at Axpona.
