The Avenger is the first stage in the VPI Reference turntable lineup.

The VPI Avenger table was originally a project started by Harry over 12 years ago. Shortly after the development of the Prime, and while cleaning out the warehouse in preparation for a dealer training event, the forgotten Avenger and its designs were re-discovered! The working name was the “Tri-Pod Project”.

Being newly motivated, Harry has finally put in motion the table that will be his masterpiece! The unique iterations that had been crafted from the original process were completed as Special Editions.

The VPI Avenger chassis is three layers of bonded acrylic/aluminium/acrylic, with damping material between layers, locked in by 3 isolation steel corner posts, 3 bolts, and the massive bearing assembly.  The corner posts which hold the tonearms (up to three will fit) have adjustable machined knobs giving the user the ability to easily raise and lower the height to level the table.

Fully adjustable armboards are made from 5/8” 6061 aluminium for rigidity and grounding. The table can mount up to three arms, any manufacturer’s brand, and any length!
