VPI Forever Turntable - Model One (Black)

10-Year Warranty

The VPI Forever Series is a testament to VPI's confidence in the durability and longevity of their products. The 10-year warranty reflects VPI's commitment to quality and their readiness to service and upgrade their turntables over time. With this extended warranty, customers can trust in their investment, knowing that their turntable is built to last.

Motor Drive & Platter Module

At the heart of the Model One is the motor drive and platter module, crafted for both high performance and flexibility. This module is mounted on a thick aluminum plate and features a resonance-canceling damping plate to reduce vibrations, improving sound clarity. Key features include:

• 300 RPM belt drive motor (500 RPM in 230V countries) with a two-speed pulley for precise speed control.
• Forever Platter: A 2" thick, 12" diameter platter with an inverted bearing, minimizing surface area contact between the platter and bearing, which reduces friction and boosts performance.

The modular design of the motor drive and platter module allows users to easily service, adjust, package, replace, or upgrade the system. Future upgrades or new models will seamlessly integrate with this platform, ensuring a smooth upgrade path for users.

New VPI S-Tonearm Module

A standout feature of the Model One is the new VPI S-tonearm module, which introduces enhanced precision and build quality. Key elements include:

• Solid aluminum architecture: Eliminates tube resonances, ensuring pure sound reproduction.
• Azimuth adjustment at the headshell, coupled with a solid mounting system.
• Vertical Tracking Adjustment (VTA) in the arm base, providing precise height adjustments.
• ABEC 5 bearings: Offer ultra-low friction, eliminating chatter and ensuring long life, smooth motion in both horizontal and vertical planes.
• Locking threaded counterweight: Allows for fine adjustments while eliminating unwanted resonances.
• Internal VPI high-purity copper wire: One continuous piece from the headshell to the RCA connection, ensuring signal purity.

The modular nature of the VPI S-tonearm module ensures ease of servicing, adjustments, and future upgrades, making it adaptable to evolving user preferences and needs.

3-Point Floating Suspension (3D Isolation)

The Model One introduces a new 3-point floating suspension system designed for superior isolation from external vibrations. This advanced 3D isolation system stabilizes the turntable, minimizes motor noise, and reduces both external and internal vibrations. Key highlights include:

• Isolated suspension using high-tech polymer, fully adjustable for leveling.
• Enhances sound quality by maintaining stability and isolating the platter and tonearm from any motor noise interference.
• Easy to replace both Motor and Platter Module and Tonearm Module.
