VPI Industries Aries 2

The VPI Aries 2 Turntable with JMW-10.5 Tonearm is Analog Audio Excellence and this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of the best high-end turntable ever made. If you stopped to look at this post, you probably already know how great this turntable is and the reviews all say this is is one of the best ever. This beautiful VPI Aries II turntable is complete with a host of accessories (except cartridge), a very thick and heavy plinth and frosty white acrylic platter and heavy outboard motor. The Walker Black Diamond Aries pucks and motor platform set ($300+ value) are included. As far as the tonearm goes, JMW-10.5i with Uni-pivot is clean, fast, and powerful, as well as very easy to adjust, thereby allowing the user to achieve excellent results from any cartridge. JMW alignment jig, DBP-10 protractor, and SoundSmith anti-skating tools are included.
The VPI components are packed in 3 factory cartons with foam inserts, one extra for the external VPI Digital Synchronous Drive System ($1,000 value) with Silent Terminator interconnect and another for all accessories including the VPI speed Strobe. The interconnects to your system are the premium Nordost Quattro Fil Phono cables ($900 value). The VPI HRX center weight is included. View the photos for the upgrades, extra belts, and many of the original accessories. Stand-alone 300-RPM Motor in high quality aluminum casing with MapleShade Iso-blocks. Well kept, clean, and in great working condition. I have been downsizing my system, going digital, and hoping to place this awesome turntable in a good system for someone.
