Starting in 2015, VPI will have these new changes:
Production Turntables:
-
Nomad
-
Scout Jr.
-
Scout
-
Classic
-
Prime
-
Classic Signature
These are standard tables that will be regularly available and expected to be stocked. There will be NO CHANGES to any of these models for all of 2015 unless we find the table is physically attacking the customer! All changes for 2016 will be determined in the summer of 2015 based upon sales numbers, production, and supplies.
Tables by Design:
-
Scoutmaster
-
Aries
-
Harry's Classic
-
HR-X
-
Classic Direct
These products are tables that are custom. We cannot discontinue them because we still get regular inquires and orders from the dealership about them and have enough supply to make it happen. However there is nothing standard about the orders! These tables are not standard, are not expected to be stocked. Same goes for off the wall colors and special requests. It can be done, but it will take extended time, and it will be costly.
Rosewood chassis will be available while supply last! This is because of how increasingly difficult it is becoming to get legal rosewood and we will NOT venture into the shady means. The current rosewood is a species of rosewood but may not be as rich in its red color as the original chassis from 2 years ago were.
Classic Signature table will come with the 3D arm as its standard! If you chose to have a non 3D arm this is possible but at no price reduction.
The Nomad will exist for 2015 but is on the short list to disappear from the VPI line for 2016. Why? This is because it is time we get back to focusing on the type of company we are, an American made high-end audio manufacture. We wanted to create something new for the industry with the Nomad and help bring in the next generation, but realistically the Nomad is being viewed (from the feedback we have received), as too expensive for entry level, and to “life-style” for high-end. No matter what happens with the Nomad we are proud to lead the charge in bringing a more diverse audience into high-end.
The Traveler is a non topic since the Scout Jr. both sonically, build quality, and ease in upgradability is trouncing the table.
Any existing Traveler sales will be while supply last.
