FYI, the new JMW 3D printed tonearm is not a drop in replacement for the original JMW 10 tonearm as the new 3D is 10.5 inches whereas the the original JMW is 10 inches. You will need to purchase a new VTA tower if you plan to upgrade the arm. The Aries 1is a very nice table.
Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades?
I have an original JWM 10 arm with the threaded counterweight on my Aries 1 turntable. Is there a suitable drop-in upgrade tonearm available or is there a set of upgrades I can do to maximize the existing arm as best bang for the buck? It has the original Discovery tonearm wire as came from the factory also.
Thanks for your input!
Have a great weekend!

ekimg.....here's a link http://edensoundaudio.com/shop/category/terrastone-platforms/ Call him up (nice guy) and tell him your table and he'll make the correct attachment. On the site look at "products" |
As I did with my 12" arm, you can probably purchase just the 3D arm tube but you will also need a new lower bearing pivot point. The old VTA tower can be adjusted, pivoted on its base, to accommodate a slightly longer arm if that is necessary. The factory can probably advise on this, Also ask at the VPI forum. |
