Cadillac of Turntables?

While watching the new FOX show 'Grandfathered' I noticed a Cadillac commercial that showed a VPI turntable with a 3D printed tonearm! I backed up the DVR, paused at the clip, then wondered, "Huh...does that make VPI the Cadillac of turntables?"

Interesting how I see more and more turntables on TV these days. And now, high-end models. Love it!

My Dual 1264 still running in my second system might qualify. Not just fully automatic but a record changer to boot. Of course nobody in their right mind would subject their records to a record changer. Well, maybe a Cadillac owner would. :^) I own Toyotas and Subarus.

In the commercial, that was Steve Wozniak who had that table and a lot of records :-)

Ad aired first at last January's SuperBowl - Don't know of any other Highend Audio company that have had product placement in the most anticipated ad screening debut every year in recent history. So kudos to Matt and team for making that happen.

Good listening

The Cadillac is in flux. My father's Cadillac was a piece of junk, the new ones are going after the BMW crowd.

I used to think of a Cadillac as your typical lead sled. Far from it now. Yes, I'm an old geezer.

I have a picture of me sitting on the fender of my brother's Nova with my legs inside the engine compartment with lots of room. I believe we were working on the lifters...was a long time ago.
