"The VPI Prime is a capable high-end turntable, but the Signature version sports a range of improvements which significantly augment the deck's performance."

"For many analogue addicts, one of the most treasurable aspects of vinyl LPs is the way they allow the natural timbre of instruments to shine through, with excellent sparkling harmonics.
