VPI Industries Prime

High-end audiophile turntable featuring a 10-inch 3D-printed unipivot tonearm, 20-pound aluminum platter, and advanced isolation for superior vinyl playback.

The VPI Industries Prime is a reference-level turntable designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional analog performance at a competitive price. It features a 10-inch 3D-printed JMW unipivot tonearm with adjustable vertical tracking angle (VTA), allowing for precise cartridge alignment and extensive manual calibration. The 20-pound aluminum platter, supported by an inverted bearing with a hardened stainless steel shaft and chrome-hardened ball, ensures smooth, vibration-free rotation. The chassis is constructed from vinyl-wrapped MDF with an 11-gauge steel plate bonded underneath for optimal resonance control. Custom isolation feet and a heavy-duty motor assembly further reduce unwanted vibrations. The Prime is praised for its solid build, upgrade potential, and ability to deliver detailed, dynamic, and engaging vinyl playback that rivals more expensive models.
