About the Classic-Rosewood

The VPI Industries Classic Signature - Rosewood is a high-end American-made turntable designed for audiophile performance. It uses a 20-pound machined 6061 aluminum and stainless-steel platter with a precision inverted bearing for stable, low-noise rotation. The massive, laminated one-piece chassis is built from a 2.5" thick MDF block with a 3/4" aluminum/steel sandwich attached via silicone and long bolts, creating a non-resonant, 30-pound plinth that effectively suppresses vibration and resonance. A 300 RPM, 24-pole AC synchronous motor with a pulley accurate to plus/minus 0.0005" drives the platter, providing excellent speed stability and low noise. The design is noted for exceptional feedback rejection, allowing the turntable to operate near powerful subwoofers with virtually no acoustic feedback and superb low-level resolution. The complete unit weighs about 65 pounds, enhancing isolation from external vibrations. Classic Signature models are commonly supplied with advanced VPI tonearms such as the JMW 10-inch 3D-printed arm or the Fatboy 10-inch, offering broad cartridge compatibility and high adjustability, though the exact arm may vary by configuration.
