    I grew up listening to the records. It is so organic, so natural. During 1990s we had listening session and reason was then new Sony-555ES CD player. During playback my friend who owned the audio system put needle of Van Den Hul MC-1 (on Micro Seiki turntable) into the groove and after few minutes he switched knob of preamp to "phono". Everybody just stopped dead. Lady's vocal came almost with quality of aliveness and presence placed in soundstage just right, just like she is really there.

    Cool video. Not so much about how it is made as to meet the people who make them. This is an old school family business. It was created and succeeded in the days when CD's were coming into use. So a triumph over adversity. And now it is being passed from father to son. Vinyl records are fun to handle and play, they can still sound great even though the tech is old, and these VPI tables can be quite beautiful for being machines.

    I understand that this is a promotional piece, but noticed that Harry lined up the azimuth with the little metal bar, presumably to get it parallel with the record surface, (“Perfect!”) but in their own VPI videos he remarks that most cartridges that glue on the stylus are rarely 90 degrees themselves, so just getting it parallel is not good enough.

    Marvelous stuff. I did my early electronic engineering training in a radio broadcast outfit with six audio studios which used EMT turntables from Germany. Fantastic. And 20 pound platters? Ha! Ours were 16" diameter and needed 2 guys to lift one, cast iron. What's new to me, though, is the 'unipoint' (I think) tone arm pivot, excellent idea and that alone would make it superb, never come across it before. But although absolutely first rate it would never stand up to the hammering turntables get in a pro studio, really rough use for 18 hours a day. Another winner is the lateral balancing which of course would be necessary with a single pivot point, excellence again. My present turntable is a Hitachi direct drive, no belts. But alas, I am now old and my hearing ain't so good no more.....

  • @CornishMotorcycleDiaries
    @CornishMotorcycleDiaries 8 лет назад +15

    I love vinyl and for me it is the preferred format, although technically there is no contest between it and CD. What does weigh down CD has been the loudness wars. As an example, I've just received the latest Radiohead release on both 180g vinyl and with a free (including uncompressed) download. The vinyl on a brief listen (before my amp imploded) sounded wonderful, warm, rich and powerful. However as my amp was non-working I turned to the download. And for curiosity's sake I imported into Audacity and I saw (naughty Radiohead) just how heavily it had been mastered with some almost solid red areas indicating effectively a compressed dynamic range. Interestingly the WAV audio sounded good through my Bose headphones from Audacity, but awful when played through iTunes (Apple what are you up to?) I guess this is to suit the MP3 generation, but personally I prefer the vinyl sound which ironically BECAUSE of the technical limitations can't be over-mastered. Sorry if I've sort of hijacked this thread, but I would say in conclusion, that the VPI is certainly a beautiful object!

    Hot glue...
    Balanced scales, how well do they deal with vibration?
    Why are they still using metal tone arms? I thought this "space age turntable" would be using "aircraft grade carbon fiber" (which is lighter, stiffer, and more vibration resistant than aluminum).

    With today's technology a high end turntable of today is better than high end turntable from 1970s.

      @zogzog1063 7 лет назад

      jorgma: The 1200 was originally built by Panasonic subsidiary Technics as a hi-fi deck. The idea of a dj deck was alien to them. Djs picked up on them because of the high torque motor. Hence a lot of people have fallen into the notion that they are only good for djs. It is of course a fallacy that they are dj only. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive. However, the myth - while popular - is pretty harmless.

    • @jogmas12
      @jogmas12 7 лет назад

      zog zog Well if one attempts to "scratch" with the vpi the stylus and record will be ruined as the tonearms on these turntables only accomdate the best cartridges that are not designed for use or shall we say abuse. Furthermore the ruggedness of the 1200 is a perfect match for day in day out handling of dj gigs.

And when mixing to digital it was no contest. People dont know what they are missing with digital or LP playback. The analog tape always wins.

    I have a pretty good audiophile system. In fact I have three, the most expensive is around £35k
    I love vinyl replay but does it sound as good as high end digital - NO WAY!!
    The laws of diminishing returns starts to kick in with vinyl replay in terms of sound. The recording itself is without doubt the most important aspect to quality replay (analogue or digital) vinyl has a character of its own which can sound stunning, but colouration is NOT accuracy. Compared to the master recording, high end digital gets the closest.
    Early digital was awful, but we're not in the 1980's anymore, things have progressed greatly.
    The best in vinyl is impressive. The best in digital is mind blowing.

They only made direct drive turntables (ones without a belt or speed control) for the DJ's, because a lot of DJs didn't know how to change a belt in under 3 .1/2 minutes back in the early 70's & they had to keep the music playing on the radio, with not time to worrying about changing belts or if they had a new one in stock & if they didn't they were screwed.

    Only the finest half inch particleboard is used in making this table, you will know this by looking under it where it is unfinished. No ten thousands of an inch veneer used where someone walking by would notice. Under the table you will find bare unfinished particleboard. Finishing the wood underneath the table is not necessary for a sale, the consumer will not notice till they get it home and take it out of the box. By that time the sale has been made, few will return it to the store.

    An audiophile infomercial for sure, but the process is interesting; you don’t need technicians in hazmat suits for most manufacturing, and I’m sure most people don’t realize how much of their products are held together with Super Glue and/or hot glue. And US companies just can’t win with the ‘I don’t want any Chinese junk - what happened to “Made in the USA”’ that competes with people buying foreign goods or online because they’re $5 cheaper and complain that goods made here are too pricy.

      Digital merely takes an analogue sound - compresses, smushes, squishes and otherwise manipulates it - over "samples" it a bunch to make sure they squished it correctly, then tries to output it as an analogue sound to your preamp, etc. An LP via an analogue system delivers the sound pretty much as it was recorded (what audiophiles like to hear), with no scrunching, twisting, smashing or other manipulation of the originally recorded signal, unless some overly enthusiastic audio engineer decided he wanted to mess with it some. The ONLY advantage to digital is convenience, in your car, etc.

    Let’s be honest, most comments here are from people with a turntable worth less than £500 and yes, cd is probably going to sound better to you, but you would soon change your tune if you listened to a mediocre system of say £20k and then you will enter a different realm of musical enjoyment. It’s such a shame 80% of the worlds population don’t actually know what music sounds like or should I say should sound like, and until you actually sit down at home and listen to a good recorded album on an expensive properly set up system and you actually hear the music as if the performer is stood right in front of you with such realism you can pic out the positions of each band member you will never understand.

      The cracking and popping noise you hear from a vinyl is actually caused by the dirt on the vinyl (dust, grease from fingerprints) and not from the vinyl itself. Proper handling of a vinyl will not get it dirty, and if you do get it dirty then you can clean it at home using DIY methods.
      Some people say that it's too much hassle to properly handle a vinyl, but to that I just say stop being fucking lazy.
      It's a much more personal experience. So personal that you actually end up being attached to your sound gear.

    Complete garbage. High mass does not eliminate vibration. If these guys knew anything about physics, this is the last way you would want to build a turntable. The steel plate on the top rings like a bell. Bolting it to a thick layer of MDF does little to damp the vibrations. Mounting a motor directly to the top ensures the motor vibrations are directly coupled to the tone arm and indirectly to the stylus through the platter. A couple of years ago, VPI switched the motor to a cheaper version that overheats and locks up after extended play. They just discontinued making these tables, I wonder why?

    • @turn1210
      @turn1210 6 лет назад

      Well there are two ways to look at it, mass will make a turntable less susceptible to vibration because it will take a higher external force to vibrate the turntable, but, if the resonant frequency of the material used is poorly mated to the type of vibrations expected then yes, it will 'ring like a bell'.
      I agree with you in that some poor design choices have been made here when you consider the price point. How much more effort would it have taken to build an air gap between the motor mount and plinth, and the Hurst motors they use are actually notorious for vibration. The turntable industry just doesn't want to invest in R&D for good quality motors or pay premiums for the good systems that exist so we are stuck with $15 motors, belt drives and $4000 worth of marketing BS.
