Bloodwood MC Cartridge
Based off the Miyajima Takumi, voiced by VPI with a special limited Anniversary "Blood Wood" Body.
"Picked up a VPI cartridge and installed it tonight. WOW! Warm lush mids, extended, but never bright highs. And the bass? Who knew there was that much bass in them there grooves! Not quite as nuanced, but I actually prefer it to the Cadenza Bronze it replaced...and its $1000 less! There’s something about that Bloodwood!"
"The Miyajima-based VPI Anniversary has a sweet nature that suits the likes of soft, smoky jazz to a tee. Fed with 'Love Dance' from Diane Schuur's The Diane Schuur Collection [GRP Records GR-9591], it made a good case for itself, offering up an emotive, warm performance." - Hi Fi News
REVIEW & AWARDS
VPI Avenger Direct Turntable Package - Read More
"The VPI Avenger Direct is a masterpiece of the turntable art – intelligently designed, exquisitely engineered and sonically all but beyond reproach, while work on the direct-drive system has paid off handsomely. Indeed, the innovation displayed in VPI's deck and arm design is ultimately realised in this captivating sound. Frankly, I've heard few turntables that simply get out of the way of the music so effectively." - Adam Smith
