Overview

VPI Player Turntable with Built-In Phono Stage & Headphone Amplifier

The VPI Player Turntable is an all-in-one high-end turntable designed for music lovers who want serious vinyl playback without the complexity of assembling an entire analog front end. Made in the USA, the Player combines a VPI turntable, 9-inch gimbal tonearm, pre-mounted VPI Shirley cartridge, built-in phono stage, and integrated headphone amplifier in one ready-to-play package.

For someone getting into high-performance vinyl, the Player provides an unusually simple path: connect it to your audio system and start listening. Because the phono preamplifier is already built in, it can be used with amplifiers and powered audio systems that don't have a dedicated phono input.

For private listening, the integrated headphone amplifier makes it possible to enjoy records directly through headphones without requiring a separate amplifier or phono stage.

Ready to Play

VPI equips the Player with a 9-inch gimbal/yoke-bearing tonearm and pre-mounted VPI Shirley cartridge. Its 11.5-inch, 7-pound aluminum platter provides substantial rotational mass, while the vinyl-wrapped MDF chassis creates a rigid foundation for the platter, motor, and tonearm assembly.
