VPI new turntable- Prime 21

Looks like they just ditched the uni pivot for the gimbal arm. Based on the articles, it’s just the MK II version. Plinth improvements and other minor things.

Not exciting enough for me to upgrade from my ageing, Classic. If I could just find a HW40 DD for $5K.....yeah, I’m dreaming.

Just an updated Prime to be release in 2021, thus the “21”.

The Prime 21 is due out in October and the Prime 21+ in November, so really 2020 models, but close enough I guess to 2021 for the nomenclature.

Agree about the new arm. Never really liked the unipivot. Just a personal preference.

October and November releases? In the Auto works that makes them 21’s 

The Prime 21 has a limited release in the UK with a North American release 2021. 

The Mark Levinson tt was offered with a gimbaled tonearm. I had assumed that their target audience would be older and therefore be more satisfied with gimbaled.

Most of their tt's could be ordered with a gimbaled if requested from my understanding.
