The Lake People Phone-Amp G111 MKII is the successor of the famous G100, which in turn can be considered the forerunner of the hi-fi / hi-end devices from Lake People and Violectric. Its special transistorized amplifiers provide a very neutral sound with a touch of warmth.
That is why the G100 and the G111 were the first Lake People devices to be widely used and approved by both professional and private users.
VPI unfortunately lost their VPI Grandma, Shirley Green who has been with the company since the beginning. The mother of VPI founder Sheila Weisfeld was initially helping her daughter and her husband Harry in the VPI office which ended up being her new career. Sheila and Shirley were the heroes of the VPI office. Shirley was low maintenance, strong, and got the job done. This is why VPI named their new entry level Moving Magnet cartridge after her. Introducing the VPI Shirley cartridge!
