Factory tour? I can't see a single part being manufactured. Assembly rooms and folks, mounting together what has already been manufactured somewhere else. So where are the turntables really produced?
Nice to see the soon so enthusiastic and caring ab out continuing the family bysiness. That is how great products and great jobs are being made. That is what capitalism needs to go back to..
WHAT why are you in such a small space!?!?!?!? this is not what I expected at all for VPI HQ / factory? making amazing turntables that are way to expensive
Maybe because they don't need more? At the end the results are what really matter. The Hi-End market is very limited, don't expect to see big factory in this game... ;)
Thank you Stereophile for doing another tour. Again exposing how little innovation these supposed high end audio equipment brands have. How many times does one need to say made in America make the product better. Another brand de-mystified.
What a terrible mess of a place, very poor working conditions And hear we go again with the emperor’s new cloths Way back when there were only records I bought all the SME’s and turntables But I always dreamed of cd’s with their pure sound Lp’s do not sound better When I go to a live concert and listen to a string quartet I do not hear crackles and pops like you get on a record These crazy people are not listening to the music they just love watching the turntable going round, I am a photographer who used film for decades and now use digital its the same as the records move on they are just tools typical because we believe this ridiculous degree of audiophile you assume we are hateful jealous people, No its because we believe in spending our time listing to music not equipment
Yes I have and I was knighted for doing so, also the product is keeping us all a bit more safe from the bad guys, as to know what it is its mine to know and yours to wonder .
Most high end audio manufacturers are very modest operations. Cottage industries. This generally doesn't compromise the end product. Rather, it improves it as you'll find, I think, that each operative is an expert in his/her area. VPI produces a superb finished product. Always good to see Mat's enthusiasm. It's good to know the industry is progressively moving to good custodianship by such young guns.
When you go to a live concert you hear coughs and people moving around in their seats instead. You don't know better than people that enjoy vinyl and film, you don't need to push your subjective opinions on others like someone in the grip of teen angst, it's not needed.
I just bought the new Prime 21 +
Such wonderful people creating great products.
Full respect
Love that it's a family business, my next TT will be a VPI for sure. Thanks for the tour!!
Such a nice tour! Thanks to Matt, and to all of you.
I was the final inspector at WMI for VPI stuff! I love your products! Miss those days. Good luck with everything Dan Jacobs
Nice gig if you can get it !, didn’t realize VPI was such a Ma and Pa little shop,
I would like to hear your design theory's solutions about why you have your solutions in your turntables. Great vid!!!!
I am impressed with the organised management and cleanliness this company expresses I am wanting a Prime Turntable hopefully in the near future .
Wow! That was nice. Regards from Portugal.
"This is my lovely better half...err...what do you do?" Great review and insight into VPI. Cannot wait for my Prime Scout to arrive!

out continuing the family bysiness. That is how great products and great jobs are being made. That is what capitalism needs to go back to..

Garage audio production.
This guy is like a brother of Mark Zuckerberg :D but less camera shy

What did you expect? A big office like Apple?
U R NOT ME exactky, they aren't selling thousands every week, no need to rent a giant space. It's the quality that counts.
Maybe you were thinking they'd have a building like Audioquest......

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
You are an idiot.
What a terrible mess of a place, very poor working conditions
And hear we go again with the emperor’s new cloths
Way back when there were only records I bought all the SME’s and turntables
But I always dreamed of cd’s with their pure sound Lp’s do not sound better
When I go to a live concert and listen to a string quartet I do not hear crackles and pops like you get on a record
These crazy people are not listening to the music they just love watching the turntable going round, I am a photographer who used film for decades and now use digital its the same as the records move on they are just tools
typical because we believe this ridiculous degree of audiophile you assume we are hateful jealous people, No its because we believe in spending our time listing to music not equipment
