Cliffwood Turntable  – Between S$1,000 to S$2,000

“The VPI Cliffwood turntable compared to our reference restores a good clarity of the set, a beautiful stereo image both in depth and width between the speakers, adds to the pleasure of listening. A kind of live live with the listener. The performance of this turntable, it will be understood, is worthy of praise. At this price, it is a great success. The VPI manufacturer shows once again its know-how, this model Cliffwood is placed from the start next to the best.” – Art Sonique

For 40 years, VPI have built turntables in American and kept it in the VPI family. For almost 30 of those years they have built their turntables in Cliffwood, New Jersey. With them reaching a more entry level market they are still able to make their products in Cliffwood, New Jersey. Most companies when making entry level products source their components outside their country of origin. This is why VPI celebrate their heritage and their VPI workers by naming this turntable after the place they are built.

VPI is also excited to be teaming up with their friends from Brooklyn, Grado Labs! VPI engineered a cartridge shell specifically for the Grado to make it easier to mount and contribute to the sound signature. The VPI/Grado Green will be the factory standard mounted cartridge on all VPI Cliffwood turntables.

The tonearm is a 9″ machined aluminum gimbal. Both easy and robust to use while providing top level sonic performance.
