VPI Direct Drive Turntable

I suppose $30,000 is never going to be considered basement bargain price but if
it outperform its competitor at the same price point and competes at the same level as tables 3-4 times its cost, a bargain is not exactly misleading either. Somehow, I doubt this review will have any impact on VPI dissident. Personally I am looking forward to hear one for myself very soon! Positive Feedback review should be coming out soon as well and early words sound like it will be along the same line as Fremer's impression as well.

Here's another positive REVIEW.

Not that I can afford it but all the reviews sure make me want to hear it...maybe at one of the hifi shows.

Hiho

that is paid advertisment and a joke of a review. Tone audio AND vpi should be ashamed that it went to print.

How can any product get product of the year from an afternoons listening at the manufacturers factory.

please

VPI deserves a lot better as i am sure it is a good product, but certainly not from so called reviews like this..

It's more difficult to find an honest review than it is to find an honest politician. ;^)

The best review is using your own ears. I don't take reviews that seriously like most people so it didn't bother me. It's like porn. Do people take porn seriously? I don't even take the Oscar seriously. I guess if I'm about to spend $30k, I should not be swayed by just a review without listening. But I guess some people do get misguided by reviews. And they do! Maybe I shouldn't have included that link...

Positive reviews are at best just to pique an interest, no more no less, and for me should not be used as a consumer guide. You have to do your own homework.

Back to DD. I hope the buzz about this new table will get people to take motor technology more seriously so the next time they see an expensive shiny belt drive table they will start questioning its wimpy toy motor also being used in a certain Scottish sacred cow.
