VPI Industries VPI Prime with Ortofon Cadenza Blue cartridge Turntable VPI Prime with Ortofon Cadenza Blue cartridge (cartridge is as new, less than 10 hours} Condition: Excellent Payment Method: Paypal. EFT, Cash on Pickup Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By qwerter 0 Comments AUD $5,100 Date: October 30, 20241 yr
A Prime-tier VPI in like-new shape is always worth a look, but at A$5,100 this one is clearly ambitious against your database. The recent comparable market puts the median at A$1,628, with the 75th percentile at A$3,330, so this listing sits well above the top end of the usual used range.
What keeps it interesting is the package: the Prime is a well-regarded, heavy-duty suspended-less design with strong isolation, a very capable tonearm, and real upgrade potential, and the Cadenza Blue adds meaningful cartridge value if it’s healthy and low-hours. At this price, I’d want confirmation of cartridge condition, belt, feet, dust cover, and service history; otherwise, the premium is hard to justify unless the buyer specifically wants a turnkey, mint example.

VPI Industries, founded in 1978 by Harry and Sheila Weisfeld in Cliffwood, New Jersey, emerged from a passionate family endeavor in Harry's basement. What began with simple record weights, isolation bases, and the groundbreaking HW-16 vinyl cleaning machine in 1981 evolved into a cornerstone of American analog audio innovation. Now led by Harry's son Mat Weisfeld, the family-owned company proudly manufactures all products in the USA using domestic components, embodying old-school craftsmanship amid global competition.
The brand specializes in high-end turntables, tonearms, and phonograph accessories, including iconic models like the TNT and the modular Forever Series, such as the upgradeable Model One. VPI also produces record cleaning machines and vibration isolation platforms, prioritizing uncompromising performance and value. While not venturing into amplifiers, speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables, their focus remains laser-sharp on analog playback essentials that deliver audiophile-grade precision.
VPI holds a commanding position in the high-end market as a niche boutique leader, revered for durable, upgradable designs and technical prowess that have sustained relevance through vinyl's ebbs and flows. Among knowledgeable buyers, it commands respect for engineering excellence and a heritage of innovation, positioning it as an essential choice for serious analog enthusiasts seeking timeless quality over fleeting trends.
