The VPI Vanquish is a high-end magnetic direct-drive turntable built around advancements from VPI’s HW-40 Direct Drive platform. Its motion-control circuitry, materials and vibration-isolation technologies have been refined to deliver a highly controlled analogue playback platform.
The Vanquish uses VPI’s Reference tripod chassis, allowing up to three tonearms to be fitted. It is supplied with VPI’s 14-inch Fatboy 3D-printed tonearm, while the power supply and motor controls are positioned externally to provide additional shielding and noise reduction. The turntable also includes the Vanquish Phono Stage, based on the VPI Voyager Phono design.
