Improving on the Legendary.
Prime 21

VPI improves upon its already excellent Prime turntable.

5 Star Rating

OUR VERDICT - 5 Stars

The Prime 21+ builds on its impressive predecessor to become one of the class leaders at this level.

VPI’s Prime record player has been something of a favourite of ours since we reviewed it back in 2015. Since then, the deck has become one of our go-to recommendations for anyone wanting a true taste of high-end vinyl replay without a five-figure expenditure.

The original Prime turntable redefined and polished with a new fit and finish and improved performance.  Upgraded with HW-40 feet, 3D Gimbal tonearm, and new machined top plate with additional bracing and isolation.  The Prime 21 is bringing 2021 in on a high note.
