Cadillac of Turntables?


While watching the new FOX show 'Grandfathered' I noticed a Cadillac commercial that showed a VPI turntable with a 3D printed tonearm! I backed up the DVR, paused at the clip, then wondered, "Huh...does that make VPI the Cadillac of turntables?"

Interesting how I see more and more turntables on TV these days. And now, high-end models. Love it!

I'm sure that Cadillac of turntables isn't what you really expect. It's supposed it to be fully automatic. I guess BMW-3 would be better match having in mind that it's also 3-letter abbreviation.
I recently serviced Pioneer PL-9 super rare deck that I would consider as Cadillac. It has very sophisticated arm settings with return and memory. It's also very heavy.
Taters, Cadillac is extremely complicated to repair.
Those Mitsubishi vertical and linear tracking turntables are probably Cadillacs or Ferraries
