Product Details
VPI AV-S Avenger Statement Turntable, The Upgraded Direct-Drive Reference
The VPI Avenger Statement builds on the proven Avenger Tripod chassis, keeping the high-end "sandbox" turntable concept while adding an upgraded chassis and armboard for enhanced performance. At its heart is VPI's direct-drive and motor-control technology: a three-phase BLDC motor with each phase powered by its own internal Class D amplifier, making the Statement a powerhouse of precision and speed stability. Housed in an engineered, machined, vented casing, the direct drive is ready to spin at the press of a button, seamlessly switching between 33 and 45 rpm. Handmade in the USA, the Avenger Statement is available now at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, NY USA.
Key Features
The Avenger Statement pairs the multi-arm Avenger Tripod chassis, with its upgraded chassis and armboard, with VPI's high-torque three-phase BLDC direct-drive motor for exceptional speed stability. A one-second start/stop and 2,500 pulses/revolution speed monitoring keep rotation precise, while the machined aluminum and acrylic construction and 12-inch, 25 lb solid aluminum platter reject resonance. The "sandbox" layout lets you mount multiple tonearms to compare cartridges and setups, and this configuration ships with the JMW-12 Fatboy Gimbal tonearm, making it a true reference-level analog centerpiece.
