VPI Avenger Reference

Based on our known design of the Avenger Tripod Chassis, the Avenger Direct takes our Direct Drive technology and marries it with our Avenger Series. The Avenger design has always been known as a "sandbox" type of design giving the owner the ability to mount up to 3 arms at any length or manufacturer model.
​

The heart of the Avenger Direct comes from our proven HW-40 Anniversary Direct Drive model. Housed in an engineered and machined vented casing, the direct drive is ready to spin at the start of a button with 33 and 45.

Reviews

"This total emotional immersion did not, of course, occur with every record—but musical immersion did occur, LP after LP. The VPI played vinyl with physicality and illuminating dynamics, reproducing increments of emotion that make a musician or vocalist appear whole in your listening room, fully real, organic though also hyperreal. This enhanced realism—this ultrareality—was consistent regardless of amplification or speakers. "

"For me, if there was ever a “Holy Grail” of turntables, the VPI Avenger Direct would for all practical purposes be it."
