Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm?

I am not aware of any changes to the vta base. It sounds like you have a later production Classic 3 armwand which has all the updates with the exception of the shrink wrap over the arm tube. It's not so much what the Signature has over the former Classic 3, but more to do with the take always to develop the new lower end "Classic" arm.

If you want to experiment with armtube damping, you can always wrap the armtube with a friction fitting vinyl wrap similar to electrical tape (w/o the adhesive).

Thanks Brf. Not sure I want to really fiddle with the arm. I just got my Lyra Kleos back and I spent a little time setting it up. It's working real nice. As the adage goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I believe thats the new VPI 3d tonearm very little information about the arm. I think the arm can be put on any VPI table. Started a thread last week trying to get info and got no responses. Good Luck

Sounds like the one VPI made via 3-D printing. I believe the armtube
alone sells for $2400.

The VPI 3D arm is made by a 3D printer and is made from resin plastic with the exception of the counter weight and side weights. I believe the OP was asking about the new Signature Classic arm which is standard on the Classic 3 table and has a black arm "tube", which is much different than the black 3D arm "wand".
