American Manufacturing Excellence

When is the last time we started a Hi Fi thread?

Look at this thing of beauty.

Is that one of those "scratching" tables the DJ's use?

Hah yeah.

I like this company a lot. VPI Industries. I think this is the future of manufacturing. Good solid engineering, happy employees, innovation.

Those are still being sought after today. Gimmick free but well designed and executed.

Since the ol lady doesnt allow my stuff in the house I dont have a system setup right now. The gem of my previous setup was a twin triode tube preamp I designed. It had full output down to 25hz. It made it a joy to listen to full and complex music but really showed the weakness of lesser recordings.
