VPI Dragon Turntable

The triple-belt drive system is designed to provide exceptional rotational stability and speed consistency. By distributing the load across three belts, it minimizes the potential for speed fluctuations and effectively isolates motor vibrations from reaching the platter.

No, the VPI Dragon does not include a built-in phono preamp. You will need to connect it to an external phono stage or an amplifier with a dedicated phono input to achieve proper playback.

The turntable features a highly damped sandwich chassis construction made of MDF and aluminum, paired with specialized vibration-damping feet. Additionally, the motor is housed in a mechanically isolated enclosure to ensure that internal and external vibrations do not interfere with the stylus tracking.

No, a dust cover is not included with the VPI Dragon. Given the high-precision nature of this turntable, you may want to consider a custom cover or a dedicated listening room environment to keep the components clean.

The VPI Dragon is sold as a turntable base, meaning it does not come with a pre-installed tonearm or cartridge. This allows you the flexibility to select high-end components that best match your specific sonic preferences and existing audio system.

The high-torque AC synchronous motor is physically separated from the main chassis and housed in its own isolated enclosure. This separation, combined with integrated class-AB motor-drive electronics, ensures that electrical and mechanical noise is kept away from the record surface.
