Brand: VPI Industries
The VPI Industries JMW Memorial 10 is a high-end turntable that pays tribute to the late company founder, Harry Jan Pulsen, who passed away in 2014. It features a 10-inch, lightweight plinth made of black and clear acrylic materials, with a precision-machined aluminum sub-platter and a floating CF-12 Tpgfz Super Flywheel belt drive system. The turntable is designed to deliver exceptional sonic performance, thanks to its high-performance Minimalist Tractrix tonearm and balance-belt based speed control system. The bearing system also features an oversized machined stainless steel spindle and replaceable teflon-bronze bearing assembly, which ensures low-noise and high-stability operation. Additionally, the platter is constructed from a proprietary acrylic material with a high gloss black finish and a sculptural three-tiered structure with a vibration-dissipative acrylic outer ring. The VPI Industries JMW Memorial 10 is a beautiful and high-performance turntable that will undoubtedly be a fitting tribute to the company's founder and continue his legacy of pushing the boundaries of turntable design.
