We have created an extra powerful, yet ultra-quiet direct-drive motor, resulting in unprecedented rotational smoothness and relatively unmeasurable wow-and-flutter. The isolation system that grew out of our research is also first class and provides cutting edge isolation performance. With the combination of 40 years of global award-winning table design, the inclusion of the new 3D Gimbal Fat-Boy tonearm, our new state of the art direct drive technology, and an isolation system that lowers all noise levels, VPI has created a turntable that truly demonstrates what is possible from vinyl playback technology in 2019: the VPI 40th Anniversary HW-40!
