"New" model VPI?


Anyone had an advanced listen  or have one of these?

Perhaps fans that live in driving distance to them have seen/heard it?

VPI's new turntable has a modular design for easy upgradeability | What Hi-Fi?

Plenty of competition in price point.

Arm?  Suspension? From just looking at pics-meh...not in a negative way. Just nothing groundbreaking or unique?

Thoughts on it for a "base" with an aftermarket arm?

Looks typical "VPI"  again, not in a bad way.

Satisfied longtime Classic user. Doubtful I'll stay with brand, come upgrade time unless something REALLY catches my attention.

The Classic will become my frankentweak when the time comes.

@chadsort: And it doesn't have any form of isolation, unlike their original HW-19 with it's spring suspension.

 

 

Right @mofimadness, the biggest difference being that the HW-19’s floating subchassis was isolated from the base and plinth with a 4-spring suspension. Also, the HW-19's top plate was a sheet of aluminum (stainless steel in the Mk.4 iteration) bonded to a 1/2" thick sheet of acrylic.
