Myles B. Astor from Positive Feedback raves about the VPI Classic Direct turntable ! His conclusion: The sound of the new VPI Classic Direct can be summarized with one word: big. Big sound. Big dynamics. Big bass. Not to mention that the Classic Directs quietness, neutrality, resolution and faithfulness to the music goes far beyond anything Harry Weisfeld has accomplished to date; if he did nothing else, the Classic Direct would be a fitting close to an outstanding career as a turntable designer. Where the Classic Direct falls short of ultimate in comparison to the original high resolution medium analog tape –and mind you this is to a large extent dependent upon the cartridge—is in the areas of retrieval of ambient information, harmonic overtones and information density. That said, the Classic Direct brought me closer to the sound of 15-ips, 2-track tape in my system than any table Ive had the opportunity to audition.
