I am thinking about replacing the 12.7 tonearm om my VPI Classic 3 turntable. My budget will be about $4000, and I'm willing to buy used. Does anyone who has replaced a VPI 10" or 12" tonearm have any advice regarding a compatible replacement?
Have you looked at the Transfi Terminator tone arm? Dave Garretson has one on his highly modified VPI TNT. Read some of his threads on the subject both here and on Audio Asylum.
Following some further research, I decided that there aren't any good choices to replace the 12.7 arm unless I also make some modifications to the plinth. In short, too much work and expense. So, I decided to stay with VPI, and have purchased the 12" 3D printed armwand. It should arrive in a few days, and I'll add some comments about it after some listening.
