VPI HW-40 Black Edition

Turnable

Designing VPI's Next Generation Direct Drive Motor Technology

Harry Weisfeld's 2012 CLASSIC DIRECT direct drive turntable was an outstanding technical achievement, earning Stereophile Magazine's Class A+ rating. This award-winning table was loosely based on the VPI Classic Series table technology and included a thick aluminum plinth and armboard and an inverted platter bearing riding 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, solid foundation for the music, allowing the listener to hear deeply into the recorded grooves to the treasures buried with-in!

Designing a new turntable to celebrate VPI's 40th anniversary provided VPI an opportunity to update the direct drive motor technology to incorporate advances in motion control and materials technologies.

REVIEW & AWARDS

VPI HW-40 Anniversary Turntable - Read More

"This deck is simply magnificent, and a delight in so many ways. It's easy to set up, painless to use, a joy to listen to and with a physical presence to savour. If perceived value is going to save the high-end, then VPI has nailed both the sound and the presentation. Match it carefully with your system to avoid an over-etched sound, and you'll have a deck for life. Or in this case, at least for the next 40 years!" - Ken Kessler 

 

Analog Corner #293: VPI HW-40 40th Anniversary Edition turntable & FatBoy tonearm - Read More

"When I compared the HW-40 to a reference that includes the $50,000-plus SAT CF1-09 tonearm: Yes, there was quite a difference, especially in terms of bottom-end slam, control, and detail resolution—and, most important, in carving out instruments in three-dimensional space, where the Fatboy tended to homogenize things. a little bit. " - Michael Fremer

"The VPI Industries HW-40 turntable is by far one of the finest turntables that VPI has produced (some might even think the best), and at a price that appears to be a bargain. Neither sexy nor fashionable looking, instead it is elegant and reminiscent of an older era in looks—and is endowed with some of the finest modern technology, impeccable sound performance and ease of use. A winner. This might become a flagship for VPI. " - Karl Sigman

 

HW-40 Anniversary Turntable From VPI - Read More

"Because of that one factor, I know that the VPI HW-40 Anniversary is a piece of true high-end hi-fi equipment. Only quality high-end hi-fi refuses to try. It wants you to come to it. To examine the music in detail and to rediscover the wonders within each song. If you don’t want to listen, really listen, then the HW-40 Anniversary doesn’t mind and won’t bother you. But if you pay attention and allow yourself to be drawn into this VPI design then it will reward you with an abundance of sonic treasures. The HW-40 Anniversary is an instant classic. In my eyes it has already attained legendary status. 

Because of that, I have the honour of awarding it the ultra-rare Golden Groovy award. My goodness it deserves it.
