I have a demo 3D arm that comes complete with a pivot assembly and tonearm rest bracket if you are interested. It is tested and works fine replacing a standard 10.5 tonearm. The pivot assembly is backwards compatible to the original 10.5 arm, so you can use it with both. The tonearm rest is larger to accomodate the larger diameter of the 3D arm, but you can use it for the original 10.5 as a rest.
VPI 3D & 10.5i armwand compatibility
Can I mix between these armwands on the same single base/pivot ?
I have two 10.5i armwands for my VPI SSM Ref and am thinking of buying a 3D armwand to try out. HOWEVER I read elsewhere the 3D needs a different (supplied) pivot assembly. This implies I can't mix them.
ALSO there are older threads about your early experiences setting up and listening to the 3D which talk about possible future developments of the arm. Any comments on how that evolution is going ? I have a natural aversion to 'breaking trail'...heightened since my difficulties with rim drive (I'm now back to belts - 3 of them - and very happy).
