About the Classic
The VPI Classic Turntable was introduced as a 30th anniversary model by VPI Industries, designed as a robust and high-performance analog turntable. It features a solid, non-resonating laminated one-piece MDF chassis with a black oak or walnut wood veneer finish. The chassis is bonded with a sandwich of aluminum and steel, making it extremely rigid and non-resonant. The platter is an 18-pound machined aluminum high inertia design with a precision inverted bearing and stainless steel damping plate, ensuring excellent speed stability and low noise. The turntable uses a solid mounted AC synchronous motor driving the platter via a rubber belt, achieving speed accuracy within 0.1% and wow and flutter less than 0.02%. It comes equipped with the JMW 10.5i Special Edition uni-pivot tonearm, known for its sonic clarity and stability. The Classic Turntable weighs approximately 45-60 pounds depending on configuration and includes features such as noise rejection allowing placement near subwoofers without feedback, and a screw-down record clamp made of Delrin. It has been praised for its fast, clean, and wide-open sound with deep, powerful bass and excellent resolution across the frequency spectrum. The turntable dimensions are approximately 20.75" W x 15.75" D x 10" H including the tonearm wire loop. Optional accessories include a lift-off dust cover, center weight, periphery ring clamp, and SDS power supply. The Classic Turntable is regarded as one of VPI's best-selling and most sonically impressive models in its price range, offering performance that rivals much more expensive turntables.
