Looking for even better performance? Upgrade to the Prime 21+
The Prime 21+ has the addition of a VPI Shyla MC cartridge (custom-made by Audio Technica) and a VPI Weisline tonearm cable (manufactured by Nordost).
The multi-award-winning VPI Prime was the starting point for the development of the Prime 21. With a host of new improvements and added features, this new turntable promises even better sonic performance and a user-friendly experience.
All the assembly tools are provided in the box and there’s even an instructional video if you’re looking for help. You can be set up and ready for music in 20min!
Features
