VPI - VPI Classic 2 Turntable with VTA Base & JMW-Classic 2 Tonearm

The VPI Classic 2 turntable comes standard with everything on the Classic 1 plus the addition of the micrometer adjusting "VTA on the fly" base. This is the ideal turntable for music lovers who want to really dial in the proper Stylus Rake Angle for different thickness records and even different cutting stylus angles in the same companies series of records. There is no doubt, and especially after long listening tests, the records made in the late 50's and the 70's were cut differently, with different thicknesses of vinyl. For those who want to extract every last drop of information from those amazing grooves and to get the noise level as low as possible correct SRA is required.

With the Classic 2 you can adjust the SRA/VTA while you are listening, reference the numbers on the record jacket, and the next time you play that favorite record you can dial in your setting exactly. This is serious stuff and really makes for amazing retrieval of low level information.

For the died in the wool cartridge swapper you can use multiple arm tubes with the cartridges completely setup (VTF, Azimuth, alignment) change cartridges in 30 seconds and dial in the correct height. Think about it, a dedicated mono cartridge, a cartridge for vocals, a classical cartridge, a jazz cartridge, all completely setup and ready to play in 30 seconds.

The sound of the “Classic Turntable” is fast, clean, wide open, with deep powerful bass, and unequaled in speed stability.  The “Classic Turntable” gives any turntable made regardless of price a serious "run for the money."

This completely new design has produced the simplest and one of the best sounding VPI tables to date.
