Avenger Direct
The Avenger Direct marries the best of VPI’s direct drive technology with an Avenger Series chassis to create a precise and versatile high-performance turntable.
The new turntable is equipped with the renowned VPI Fatboy tonearm and offers extra versatility as it can also be fitted with up to two additional tonearms of any length and make. It also features self-correcting speed accuracy, which together with the Fatboy’s VTA calibration precision, ensures that a high-performance setup is easier than ever. The direct drive technology is the same as that used in the VPI HW-40 Anniversary turntable and the 33⅓ and 45rpm functionality ensures the vinyl is ready to spin at the press of a beautifully engineered button.

The chassis is composed of three layers of bonded acrylic/aluminium/acrylic, with damping material between layers, locked in by three isolation steel corner posts, three bolts, and a massive bearing assembly.
The corner posts which hold the tonearms 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 Avenger Direct also features the same isolation as found in the VPI Titan turntable with pneumatic air suspension feet.
