Prime Signature
The VPI Prime Signature is a US-made (Cliffwood, NJ) belt-drive turntable that builds on the standard Prime with a heavier 20-lb 6061 aluminum platter, an upgraded 10" JMW Fatboy gimbal unipivot tonearm, and refinements aimed at tightening bass and vocal focus. Reviewers have called it VPI's "deck of choice at this price" ([What Hi-Fi?](https://www.whathifi.com/vpi/prime-signature/review), [Hi-Fi+](https://hifiplus.com/articles/vpi-industries-prime-signature-turntable/)).
