VPI 3D tonearm

Stringreen are you using your JWM VTA tower, or is there a new VTA tower that comes with the 3D arm?

Ahoy Captain.... right now, the entire arm is gone, awaiting the 3D. I imagine the tower will be (at least) similar to the 10.5 but for cosmetic changes. The tower works so well, I can't see VPI changing it for something else. The real pain in the neck is the anti-skate. If you use it, the arm tube is not readily changed since the whole arm has to be adjusted again. I haven't been using it on the 10.5i, and Harry is not a proponent of anti-skate, but I would like to have all options available. I understand the anti-skate gizmo is included with the 3D...we'll see.

Waiting on the review

I just got an E-mail from VPI....it will be 3 weeks or so before they can ship my arm.....YUK

>>No.....we're saying that 3D printing of a tonearm.....using the resin that is required for a 3D printer (regardless of its suitability or acoustic properties).....is a cynical exercise in marketing hype.<<

Well if that's the worst you can say about the arm, then that's pretty good.
