The VPI Prime 21 Plus Package combines three carefully matched components into a complete high-performance analogue playback system, allowing listeners to begin enjoying their vinyl collection immediately with a professionally configured setup. The package includes the Prime 21 turntable, a factory-mounted Shyla moving coil cartridge, and a 1.2 m Weisline RCA cable by Nordost.

At the heart of the package is the Prime 21, a refinement of the acclaimed Prime turntable platform that incorporates customer feedback, reviewer insights, and years of VPI engineering development. Available in Black and Walnut finishes, the Prime 21 combines audiophile-grade construction with the VPI Prime Gimbal 10-3D tonearm, delivering precise tracking and exceptional musical performance. Reviewers have praised the Prime platform for its ability to let the cartridge perform at its best while revealing the full character of a recording.

The included Shyla MC cartridge was developed through a collaboration between VPI and Audio-Technica, combining Audio-Technica’s cartridge engineering expertise with VPI’s analogue voicing philosophy. Built in Japan, the Shyla is designed to deliver strong channel separation, wide frequency response, natural midrange presentation, and detailed retrieval of low-level musical information. Completing the package, the Weisline RCA cable by Nordost uses premium materials and advanced cable construction techniques to preserve signal integrity throughout the playback chain.
