Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm?


Was checking something out on the VPI web site and noticed that the Classic 3 uni-pivot arm looks different. The tone arm tube looks like it's made of black plastic. Does anyone know anything about this apparent mod? Springreen ... you there?? You know anything about this change?

Brf, my Classic 3 wand is 100% stainless steel. The wire is silver Nordost, which is fine by me. I wonder if the black shrink wrap makes much of a difference? Brf, any changes in the Classic 3 tone arm base?
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."
Thank goodness your back String .... Hope you had a great vacation. Did you see Nanutac on his sailboat yacht?? No joke.

So ... is it worth obsessing about, i.e., dreying (yiddish for bugging) Jack's or Mike's kupft (yiddish for head) about doing an exchange? I have a Classic 3 stainless steel tone arm and base. I'm not unhappy with the Valhalla silver wire, and I don't use damping fluid. I'm interested because the black strinkwrap tube looks "bad" (in a Michael Jackson way)

Btw, everyone is entitled to take a little vacation time. But that doesn't mean you can disappear, espcially when these types of issues come up. In the future, please leave a forwarding e mail or phone number. :)

Welcome back. You have no idea what the East Coast has been like. We're in the Vortex.
P.S. -- Stringreen -- take a look at my thread on Andy Kim, a retipper. You may find the comments of interest, especially those from Dougdeacon about the Lyra Kleos. I know you have and like the Benz LP S, but at some point, you may want to road test the Kleos.
