Forty years ago Harry Weisfeld founded VPI Industries with a goal of improving how we hear and play records.  This zero cogging highly efficient turntable draws from the style of some of VPI’s and other historic turntable designs to deliver a future classic.

The combination of materials takes the best from the last 4 decades with precision machined aluminium, tactile real wood & 3D printing, there is even a clear hinged dust cover.

Harry Weisfeld's 2012 "Classic Direct" direct drive turntable was an outstanding technical achievement, earning Stereophile Magazine's Class A+ rating. This award-winning table was loosely based on the VPI Classic Series table technology and included a thick aluminum plinth and armboard and an inverted platter bearing riding on a PEEK thrust disc. Combined with a cutting-edge BLDC direct drive motor, the CLASSIC DIRECT was created. The Classic Direct provided a stable, solid foundation for the music, allowing the listener to hear deeply into the recorded grooves to the treasures buried with-in.

Designing a new turntable to celebrate VPI's 40th anniversary provided VPI an opportunity to update the direct drive motor technology to incorporate advances in motion control and materials technologies.
