Half the price of the DD turntable.
Limited to 400.

Interesting, can you post the link to the live stream or is it dealer-only?
Any clues on the price? I've seen both 12k and 15k, which one is it :)
The feet look interesting. Are these solid metal, or a new upgraded model?
Looks like a gimbal tonearm too. Is that the new Fat Albert arm?

Thanks Mike, totally missed the event.
15k it is. Still a good price for the package (direct drive + 12'' fatboy), but at 12k it would be a steal..
Isolation does seem updated too, it's explained towards the end of the live stream.
Mike get some info on the tonearm please. That is definitely NOT a unipivot. Thanks
Unipivot is junk IMO. The new VPI Gimbal is way way way better.Quote:

VPI did a demo on an Avenger with two arms on it I think 2 years ago at the CAF. One was the unipivot the other was a gimbal bearing arm of Harrys design. Same cartridge on both arms. No contest the gimbal arm was better especially in the bass department. Great demo with Harry and Johan of KEF. Audio equivalent of Laurel and Hardy.

agreed, but I doubt very much if it can better the 4k Technics 1200, I'm talking the table itself and please don't tell me the VPI arm is worth 11k over the Technics !Quote:

that would not be difficult. My mate is selling his Bardo as he bought a vintage Yamaha GT2000. The yammy sounds better. he is now hooked on high torque DD - he has now bought a SP10 mk3 as well and cancelled his 1200 GR.Quote:

The VPI imo would wipe the floor of the 4K technics. It' a competitor with the 20k SP10-R and its 5k cheaper and has arguably a better tonearm.Quote:

I think I’ll stick with the VPI arm. I like it.Quote:
