VPI - HW-40 Anniversary Direct Drive Turntable

Over 40 years of refinement all leading up to this turntable. A tasteful combination of aluminum, solid wood, and 3D printed technology. Featuring an updated and upgraded version of our Award Winning Direct Drive Motor.   Benefits of the HW-40 Direct-Drive Motor HW-40 includes a newly designed, extra powerful, yet extra-quiet direct-drive motor. The motor coils are constructed of a solid copper, square, cross-section wire embedded in a composite material for increased dampening. The high-precision, high-efficiency motor, with a huge amount of torque (the 'table gets up to speed in under one second) also provides excellent cooling and near-optimal interaction of the electromagnetic conductors within the magnetic circuit. Plus, the unique iron-less coil assembly avoids the use of magnetic materials in its construction. When the latter feature is combined with overlapping V-shaped coil construction, the motor eliminates the cogging that accompanies traditional direct-drive motors, resulti
