At the heart of the Model One is the new motor drive and platter module. This module is mounted on a thick aluminium plate and features resonance-cancelling damping to reduce vibrations and enhance sound clarity. The belt-driven motor operates at 500 rpm and features a two-speed pulley for precise speed control. Its inverted bearing minimises surface area contact between the platter and bearing, reducing friction and boosting performance.
A standout feature of the Model One is the new VPI S-Tonearm Module, which offers enhanced precision and build quality. This 10-inch, S-shaped, statically balanced tonearm features solid aluminium architecture to eliminate tube resonances, ensuring pure sound reproduction. Vertical Tracking Adjustment in the arm base allows for precise height adjustments, while Azimuth adjustment is available in the headshell. ABEC 5 bearings provide ultra-low friction, eliminating chatter and ensuring long life. One continuous length of VPI high-purity copper wire runs from the headshell to the RCA connection, delivering a pure signal.
The Model One also introduces VPI’s new 3-Point Floating Suspension system, designed for superior isolation from external vibrations. This advanced 3D isolation system stabilises the turntable, minimising motor noise and reducing both external and internal vibrations.
Upgrades
The modular design of the Motor Drive and Platter Module allows users to easily service, adjust, package, replace, or upgrade the system. Future upgrades or new models will seamlessly integrate with this platform. This flexible upgrade path will allow the owner to upgrade their Model One to Model Two or Model Three specifications as they become available.

To create the new Forever Series, VPI asked its customers what they wanted from a premium turntable, as well as how they would like it to look and sound. This feedback, combined with the company’s expertise in audio craftsmanship, has resulted in three incredibly special turntables. I was thrilled when I first heard Model One and immediately knew it would be extremely popular. The sound reproduction is detailed and accurate, showcasing all of VPI’s best qualities. In fact, its performance is reminiscent of the VPI Signature turntable – which costs almost twice as much.
