VPI to Debut New Classic Direct Direct-Drive Turntable

VPI will debut its new Classic Direct direct-drive turntable this weekend at The New York Audio Show. They will also debut a new tonearm fabricated by 3D printing. According to Mat Weisfeld:

“The material is basically epoxy, which forms a rigid, lightweight, structure with good insulation properties. Epoxy is non-crystalline with impedes the transfer of vibration, so it’s the perfect material for tone arms. The shape of the tone arm shaft also adds rigidity to the structure and further prevents the transmission of surface vibrations. The result is a low resonance lightweight tone arm.”
