For the past 3 years, VPI has focused on new/entry level audiophiles and getting them to embrace vinyl for the first time. With the Prime, we wanted to get back to our roots and focus on the existing audience with a table that offers quality hi-end sound and takes advantage of our improvements in technology. We believe it is important to show the industry that we will still be making new turntable and designs whether Harry is in the factory or poolside! The Prime is Mat Weisfeld’s first solo design on a table, with Harry’s approval as well as input from the rest of the VPI staff. The shape of the Prime is meant to have a curvier and sexier look compared to the “classic” look of our tables over the past 10 years, while at same time having the footprint to accommodate the space needed for a 10 inch 3D arm.
