Tonearm for VPI HW MkIII

That is the suggested retail price, $1,299.99. You can buy it for that price at any authorized dealer, usually less. If you don't have one in the area try Audio Classics in Vestal, NY. The great thing about the JWM Memorial 10 and 12 is that they can now be upgraded to 10.5 and 12.5 status.

Thanks for the info, guys; I would not have known this otherwise. I'm following up with the local VPI dealer - need something to replace my aged Syrinx PU-3, which I'm using on an HW19MkIV. Any of you use the JMW with a Koetsu (a voluptuous cartridge that's as gorgeous as a full, fat, Chablis) ? - I have the Rosewood.

I traded in an Audioquest PT-6 tonearm when I got my VPI and ended up getting the VPI for $895. What a deal!

Hi Slowhand, Was the $895 for a brand new arm or for a used arm. If you could provide further info., I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

I tried a Dynavector 507 MK1 and was astounded at the level of mid range information that it delivered. I believe that It was the turntable that assisted to get the most from the tonearm. A decade later I now have a VPI HW MK3, with a TNT V platter/bearing, SAMA, and a VPI JMW10" upgraded to the latest 10.5i ..even better again!
