The VPI Classic Turntable

Mike Levy -- As birthday presents go, the VPI Classic Turntable is my favorite of all time. My wonderful wife, Maryann, not only gave me a surprise 60th birthday party, she also gave me the one turntable I was most interested in. VPI has been known as a manufacturer of fine turntables since before the height of the turntable in the early 80s and has continued to refine its product as it served a rabid group of vinyl lovers.

The VPI Aries Turntable

An ‘Audiophilia Classic’ review from 1999

Andrew Chasin —I have long admired the turntable designs of VPI’s Harry Weisfeld. From the entry-level HW-19, in its myriad incarnations, to the state-of-the-art TNT Mk.IV, each design embodies ingenuity, deceptive simplicity, and striking beauty. As a devotee of the analogue faith, I have also admired Weisfeld’s steadfast commitment to vinyl playback – a commitment which has withstood the best of times and the worst of times throughout the LP’s checkered past and present.
