VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D

I just installed mine and discovering my old records anew.  I thought I knew everything there was to know on the original pressing of Fleetwood Mac's Rumers......but no - there's more.  You immediately hear a more solid bass, but then the dynamics hit hard.  It sounds like my amp is on steroids.  More cleanliness, - everything is better.  Very highly recommended.

Dear @geoffkait : Yes, it's geometry and affects the alignment set up.

The VTA/SRA is changing continuously at each and over the LP side due to those  macro and micro waves in the LP but we can't do nothing about. So, we stay with the choosed alignment. It's a non-evitable trade-off.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

FWIW, I was re-reading all of these posts. The OP's initial thread post reminded me of my experience when going from my VPI Classic 3 Sig SE/3d arm to my Townshend Rock 7/Funk Firm FXR, using the same cartridge.

The 2nd pivot works great and setting the azimuth is a snap using Wallytools. The 2nd pivot although it works well, it is a little hokey.  If VPI incorporates the 2nd pivot concept into a tonearm I will upgrade.
