Founded in 1978, VPI Industries appears to be one of the most successful turntable manufacturers in the worldcertainly in the US. The New Jerseybased company sells turntables, tonearms, cartridges, record clamps, plinths, record cleaning machines, and a phono preamp. But that's not all. The company offers VPI-branded pillows, candles, mugs, stickers, T-shirts, and a tell-all company history, 40 Years on the Record.

Both my husband, David and I were floored by the sound in this room.
The all-new Avenger Direct utilises the same direct-drive technology found in VPI's HW-40 Anniversary deck.
