Further Information:

I should note that VPI has reintroduced this Classic Signature in their inventory. Seems people like the traditional rectangular style - always has been my preference.

Including the lid for a Sydney pick up only, I will not ship the lid.

RRP $11,500.00

Purchased by me, new from Krispy Audio 24/08/2021 as B stock, although you wouldn't know it - the only component that is B stock is the plinth and motor. The platter, latest speckled black 3D unipivot arm, platter weight are all new. The tonearm, for clarification, is the 10.5 inch 3D unipivot which, along with being state of the art, is also a work of art.

Looking at this turntable, you would say it's mint but for full disclosure there is a very slight mark on the top plate at the front. Apart from that it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

The table came with the HW-40 feet which, IMO, are too compliant and sag a bit on the heaviest side of the table which means it's difficult to balance the deck. I had a spare set of HRX mini feet and not only are they a doddle to level, they look so much better on the deck. I no longer have the HW-40 feet.

This is my fifth VPI and while I love it to bits, I'd really like to try something different. If it goes to plan, it will be more of a side grade but willing to give it a go.

These really are as rare as hens teeth with possibly only a few in the country.

No cartridge or phono cable - auditioning may be possible if you've been a member for some time and you are genuinely interested.

It comes in two boxes - a separate smaller box for the platter. Preference is given to local buyers but wiling to arrange courier with insurance. Me thinks Pack and Send is best because they can put it on a pallet which would protect it.

All original boxes, internal packaging, instructions.

Re-loaded photos with some new ones to show the HRX feet.

Note - the centre weight in the photos is not the one that comes with the TT. The included weight is exactly the same except without the o-rings.
