About the Aries
The VPI Aries is a high-end turntable designed to deliver precise audio reproduction with its robust construction and advanced features. It features a massive platter composed of lead, aluminum, and acrylic, floating over a rounded plinth made from two-inch thick MDF with a ten-gauge steel plate for damping and stabilization. The bearing is machined to high tolerances with Rulon bushings, a stainless steel shaft, and a tungsten-carbide thrust plate. The motor assembly is decoupled from the plinth to prevent vibration transmission, using a rubber drive belt coated with talcum powder for consistent friction. The Aries is praised for its visual and industrial design, offering a combination of style and performance.
