VPI Avenger Turntable

VPI Avenger Now featured in ListenUp's Great Gear of the Year in Hi-Fi and Home Theater for 2024! Watch it here. The Avenger tables were originally a project started by Harry over 12 years ago. In the process of the design the project was dropped in mid-production due to excessive demand for the HR-X customers which left the design and proto-type chassis to be mothballed. Tonearm included. Cartridges are sold separately. Features The Avenger chassis is three layers of bonded acrylic/aluminum/acrylic with damping material between layers. 3 stainless steel corner posts for both isolation and tonearm mounting and for mechanical grounding (up to 3 will fit). The 300 RPM, 24 pole, AC synchronous motor is capable of high torque and quiet operation. The motor is installed in a separate aluminum and steel machined assembly. The Inverted bearing features a hardened stainless steel shaft, 60 Rockwell chrome hardened ball, spinning in a phosphor bronze bushing and sits on a PEEK thrust disc. The belt side load is placed at the center of the spinning bearing for zero teeter-totter effects. The 20 pound 6061 aluminum platter has an accuracy of +/- .001” in a 39” circumference. The motor pulley has an accuracy of +/- .0005” when leaving factory. JMW 12-3D with VPI pure copper wire.
