Designing VPI's Next Generation Direct Drive Motor Technology
Harry Weisfeld's 2012 CLASSIC DIRECT direct drive turntable was an outstanding technical achievement, earning a Class A+ rating from Stereophile Magazine. This award-winning turntable was loosely based on VPI's Classic Series turntable technology, and included a thick aluminum plinth and tonearm, and an inverted platter bearing that rode on a PEEK thrust disc. Combined with a cutting-edge BLDC direct drive motor, the CLASSIC DIRECT was created. The Classic Direct provided a stable and solid foundation for the music, allowing the listener to hear deeply from the recorded grooves to the treasures buried within!
Designing a new turntable to celebrate VPI's 40th anniversary gave VPI the opportunity to update their direct drive motor technology to incorporate advances in materials and motion control technologies.
