This ad is for our demo  

VPI Classic Signature (previously Classic 3) with

JMW10-3D tonearm and Ortofon MC Quintet Red cartridge

This is our demo unit, and has been carefully handled within the store. It’s complete with all original packaging. 

Turntable Features:

The platter is machined 6061 aluminum and stainless steel weighing 20 pounds with a precision inverted bearing. Run-out +/- .001” on 39” circumference!!!

Platter bearing using Thompson Engineering precision shafting with 60 Rockwell hardened and polished ball running on a PEEK thrust disc.  The side thrust is taken by graphite lubricated composite bronze bushings.

The belt runs around the platter through the center of the bearing assembly for no teeter totter effects and no noise.

Speed stability on par with a master tape: Due to the rigid mounting of motor - platter - tonearm there isn't any random motion to cause speed instabilities.

Feedback rejection that lets the Classic Turntable sit near four 15" subwoofers and having virtually no feedback

300 RPM precision low noise high torque 24 pole AC synchronous motor drives the platter with a pulley accurate to +/- .0005”

Lack of random motion between the motor, platter, and tonearm giving the ultimate in low level resolution. Not only does this rigidity improve speed stability, it also allows the retrieval of low level information on par with the world's great turntables and very close to master tapes.

Absolutely solid, non-resonating laminated one-piece chassis: This is not a wooden frame; it is a solid laminated 2.5" thick MDF block with a¾” sandwich of aluminum and steel attached to the top with silicone and long bolts through all the layers. The chassis weighs 30 pounds and is totally non-resonant.
