VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D

The 2nd pivot can be used on the metal arms, but may have a problem with some earlier vintage metal arms. Check with VPI and send them a picture and approx. purchase date so they can confirm the proper fit. Note that the 3D arm sounds very much better, and therefore the 2nd pivot will have an even greater advantage.

Dear @moonglum : Btw, I'm talking on the Technics EPA 100 MK2 not ther tonearm that comes with the 1200.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Dear Raul,
It's ok.... I knew you were talking about a vintage item. I'm guilty of  conversationalising off-topic. :(
Apologies Stringreen.
best regards,
Bill

I tried to follow this thread and went cross eyed.  Maybe it is my limited intellect.  All I know is that Springreen's original post is correct.  What follows includes a lot of opinion based on limited or no experience with the product under discussion.  I also cannot understand the broken English of Raul, which is unfortunate.  Perhaps someone can offer a synopsis of his main arguments that would help to elucidate me?

I own one VPI metal arm with dual pivot, one VPI 3D arm with dual pivot, one SME Series III arm, and one SL1200GAE with gimbal arm.  Properly set up they all sound quite good when mated to compatible cartridges and amplified with high quality electronics.
