Since this is the "Weisfeld Corner" here is an update what has been going on. I've learned and continue to learn how drastically different have 3 children can be. Amazing how being slightly outnumbered sets off the balance. That being said, the experience has been the greatest in the world. I'm listening to more music than ever with Shyla and she is emerging into really enjoying this industry and Karate, so she has my two favorite things going so far. I'm constantly trying to give her an "out" to make sure these are activities she actually enjoys and not her trying to make me happy. With all of that, it has been rough firing on all cylinders but we have so many exciting projects we have been working on and getting ready for upcoming shows. Speaking of which we were all over the place at Florida and had I believe 10 different rooms featuring our products. That was an amazing experience especially since Shyla was with me and took her own "Show Report". Actually I'll post some pictures onto this thread sometime tomorrow. Shyla actually semi mounted a "Shyla" cartridge. Shyla asked and I couldn't say "no" so I let her match the colors on the leads and put the screws/finger lift onto the head shell connecting the cartridge. She did it! She really did a fantastic job for a being six. Watch out Michael Tre and Fremer, Shyla is going to put you guys out of a setup job! We will be at Southwest Audio fest with a number of fantastic partners and here are links to those individual blogs. We have one more blog post coming about Acora and VAC who are using a Titan Direct. https://www.vpiindustries.com/single-post/vpi-with-genesis-and-more-at-southwest-audio-2023 https://www.vpiindustries.com/single-post/vpi-with-reference-analog-and-more-at-southwest-audio-2023 https://www.vpiindustries.com/single-post/vpi-with-nexus-audio-technologies-and-more-at-southwest-audio-2024 Also, we are having a Music Event at the VPI Dojo this weekend as well. https://www.vpiindustries.com/single-post/vpi-music-event-with-audiovector-and-more

As we are one week until Capital stay tuned for a lot more information to be posted and shared with an upcoming product newsletter within the week. In the Jefferson room we will be featuring the Latest and Greatest in the Acora Speaker line as well as Audio Research electronics. It will be the same electronics we brought to CAF last year but they have all been upgraded to the latest specs. In general I'm also excited to see what is planned for AR in the future and the announcements that will be tied in. CHanging it up a bit by running Cardas cable for the system with the VPI Titan Direct leading the charge. At the moment the cartridges that are 100% are the VDH Frog Gold, VPI Shyla, VPI Goldy, and more than likely the Audio-Technica Anniversary cartridge. We will also be showcasing our new isolation platforms for both turntables and electronics. More information to come but I hope you all are excited about the lineup so far.

Meet the VPI Cherry Isolation Base! It is made to be used under your table, amplifiers, or as a table top on a VPI TNT Stand (if you have one). Paired with our HW-40 feet, this rebust table top isolates in style! This wil also be making its debut at Capital Audiofest!

THe word is out! This is another reason I've been MIA recently. The email on this one came in not too long after the baby was born and we honestly thought it was fake. The White House followed up with a phone call and after a long process we made this custom beuty!

Something I used to do pre-COVID was provide a weekly to bi-weekly update to the dealers and sometimes with blogs and forums about what the heck is really going on behind the scenes. Communication and information is always the best so here we go! Yesterday we launched our Dealer Newsletter about our End of 2023 celebration. Let's be honest, 2023 is another one that could have gone better, but here we are! There are 4 main products at drastically different price points that will be the main focus at CAF. One of these, since it was already leaked I'll share more, will be the Signature DS. Originally dubbed the "Mini" from a prototype code name standpoint, the Signature DS takes the design and engineering of the Signature 21 and distills it down to a more affordable package.  The detailed pages will be live soon. Below is a cleaner proffesional shot. We will be showcasing our VPI Titan Turntable as our main high-end source but will also have the other tables active and on live display and demo. In the office we have had some minor delays. A number of us on the team have been having poor personal issues at the same time. If you haven't heard from us please be patient or feel free to give us a poke.  The whole VPI team has been staying on point with stepping up our own QC process, testing, and prototyping for new products to come. There is one table that we will be looking at differently as Harry fast tracked a smart design.  40+ years ago if Harry wanted something he would work on a napkin, then go into the workshop and turn that napkin drawing into a product.  He wanted an affordable turntable that could house a 12” arm.  He also wanted a simple design that could house 2 tonearms.  Well Harry did exactly that.  He made, the "Harry". I'll post pictures of that as soon as Harry actually shows up on the forum! 🤣 I'll leave it at that on the updates for now. 😎

Well everyone, I'm home with the little man, life is getting a bit more stable, and I've continued to work and improve the backend of our site. Some improvements are more obvious, some more subtle. Nonetheless, while it is still a work in progress it seems like we are ready to open the flood gates and make this forum a bit more public and accessible. Thoughts all?

We are finally home and readjusting to having another resident at the Weisfeld's! Honestly it has been fantastic! Jane's family has been beyond helpful, Shyla has turned into a little mommy, and Goldy... she is like the baby protector! Lots of positive thoughts all around and excitement for the future.
