Angeboten wird „VPI HRX mit JMW 12.7 Tonarm“ von VPI industries als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Plattenspieler komplett“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 260977501 endet am 03.10.2026 um 15:01 Uhr.
A fair-to-strong ask if the arm is complete and in good shape, but not a steal at this level. Against your benchmark, €6,190 sits well above the €4,336 75th percentile, so it reads ambitious for a used listing rather than merely premium.
That said, this is a respected high-mass unipivot arm with a serious following for low-coloration, highly engaging playback and strong setup flexibility on compatible decks. If it includes the wand, counterweight, wiring, and a clean bearing with no play, the upside is a better-than-average path into top-tier analog performance. I’d just verify cartridge alignment hardware and any missing VPI-specific parts before paying full ask.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
VPI Industries, founded in 1978 by Harry and Sheila Weisfeld in Cliffwood, New Jersey, emerged from a lifelong audiophile's basement workshop as a quintessential American family enterprise. What began with simple record weights and turntable isolation bases quickly evolved into a benchmark for analog precision, driven by Harry's relentless experimentation and Sheila's steadfast support. By 1981, the HW-16 record cleaning machine marked their first enduring hit, cementing VPI's heritage in the vinyl revival long before it became mainstream.
The brand specializes in high-end turntables, tonearms, phonograph accessories, and record cleaning systems, with iconic models like the TNT, Aries, Scout series, and the Classic 30th Anniversary edition showcasing uncompromising engineering. VPI prioritizes mechanical innovation—unibody designs, advanced platters, and air-bearing arms—over diversification into amplifiers, speakers, DACs, or headphones, maintaining a laser focus on the analog front-end.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, VPI commands respect among discerning audiophiles for delivering reference-grade performance at accessible price points relative to rivals. Now led by Harry's son Mat Weisfeld, the company thrives on its reputation for bulletproof reliability, world-class soundstaging, and U.S.-made craftsmanship, making it a cornerstone choice for serious vinyl enthusiasts seeking timeless excellence.
