VPI 10.5i - Which armwands do I own?

Hi,

I do have 2 different VPI JMW 10.5i armwands.

apart from the different weight- 430 grams and 486 grams (without counter weights)- there are some additional differences which can be seen in the picture shown here:

Pse help me to identify which armwands I have!!

Thanks vm in advance

Well sure, Stringreen, but that means every time you adjust VTF you have to RE-adjust azimuth .. and then readjust VTF ... etc. Much simpler to use the azimuth ring in the first place.

Get the Soundsmith Counter Intuitive. It's the best $50 you can spend on the VPI and makes setting up VTF and VTA a snap instead of pulling one's hair out.

I have one, Myles. Trouble is, I have three arm tubes. Yeah, I know.

I just changed my cartridge and in doing so, had to adjust that rear counterweight for azimuth alignment. The last time I had to do that was about 7 years ago when I last put in a cartridge. That azimuth ring as I read between the lines is something new...that it can indeed adjust azimuth. In the older aluminum arms,one of which I have,\... the proper way is for rotating the rear counterweight....not a big deal.
