Product Description

The final and polished for of the VPI The Avenger Reference Turntable.  This model went through an evolution with the creation of our top of the line Titan turntable in using the same concept of the rim drive motor assembly driving the magnetic platter.  The magnets are machined into the platter at the center and do not interfere with the owner’s cartridge.  Our methodology is the ultimate vibration filter for an high-end system.

The VPI The Avenger Reference Turntable chassis is three layers of bonded acrylic/aluminum/acrylic, with damping material between layers, locked in by 3 isolation steel corner posts, 3 bolts, and the massive bearing assembly.  The corner posts which hold the tonearms (up to three will fit) have adjustable machined knobs giving the user the ability to easily raise and lower the height to level the table.  The corner posts connect to the cone stabilizers which sit in a machined Delrin/ball bearing isolation base reminiscent of the same used on the Prime turntable.  Fully adjustable armboards are made from 5/5” 6061 aluminum for rigidity and grounding. The table can mount up to three arms, any manufacture’s brand, and any length!

The Table:

  • 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 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 motor pulley has an accuracy of +/- .0005” when leaving factory
