"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?

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.

Never heard the brand, but all the reviews suggest you get what you pay for. "It’s a modern day HW-19 with updated technology" mofimadness, that’s what came to mind. More detailed info https://www.techradar.com/audio/turntables/its-a-model-and-its-looking-good-vpis-model-one-turntable-is-simply-stunning 500 RPM motor- curious what the thinking is here? VPI was stuck on 300 RPM motors. Still no real time speed control like Phoenix RR(now SOTA)

I'll be looking forward to a Stereophile/AS review.
