Nomad V2
Overview
The VPI Nomad is VPI's first all-in-one high-end entry-level turntable. Complete with a headphone amplifier, phonostage, and 9-inch gimballed / yoke-bearing tonearm, it is the perfect solution to enjoying your records! It also has standard RCA connections providing the ability to connect to a standard amplifier and desktop/floor-standing speakers. The Nomad turntable is a precision instrument that has been thoroughly tested to create the musical experience you're looking for!
The VPI Nomad V2, unlike it's predecessor, is fully upgradable. Originally when making the V1 Nomad VPI did not expect the table to be upgraded and viewed as an all-in-one solution that would be passed down when the owner upgraded. Instead, the DIY mayhem began! To accommodate, VPI have made adjustments to the table making it both adjustable, upgradable, and with defeatable electronics. However, the timing of this was too soon and confusing and eventually led to the re-launching of the product as the VPI Player.
