The VPI Classic Signature Turntable is a beautiful, belt-drive beast with a price-to-performance profile that breaks new ground. The Classic Signature embodies the hallmarks of VPI turntables: stellar build quality, premium parts, sci-fi aesthetics, ultra-quiet operation, and most importantly, sonic performance that offers staggering clarity, superb detail, magnificent soundstages, and remarkable dynamics. After all, a key goal of owning a turntable is to draw you closer to your favorite music, and the Classic Signature fulfills that promise, with its steady reliability and stunning sound. The turntable's weight adds to its rock-solid stability, and the meticulous design incorporates dampening elements throughout. Custom feet ensure that the turntable's motor is isolated from any potential environmental vibration. The chassis is bonded to a ¾-inch thick sandwich of aluminum and steel attached to the top, making the chassis a hefty 30 pounds on its own. The Classic Signature also includes the JWM-10-3D-Gimbal Standard Wire.
