The brand-new, upcoming VPI Industries S-Tonearm looks stunning
04.11.2022 15:00
The famous American manufacturer of vinyl turntables VPI Industries has lifted the veil of secrecy over its new VPI S-Tonearm. This incredibly looking product is strikingly different from the branded tonearms of previous series and uses other principles.
Thus, the VPI Industries S-Tonearm does not have a traditional azimuth adjustment - instead, a rotation head shell system is used, in which the shell rotates, locks in any position and ensures the adjustment of the height of the needle above the vinyl record. The tonearm does not use a "tube" as the previous company’s tonearms - instead, a thin arm made of milled aluminum is used.
