IMO a good, and not very expensive, upgrade is the dual pivot. Do some research. Besides other advantages, it makes setting azimuth very easy.
Got a new (to me) VPI Aries for Xmas... what’s the arm upgrade path?
I’ve been doing some reading and I’m not sure I can tell if people universally think any of the newer arms except the fat boy are better than the original JMW 10 arm that’s on my Aries. Anyone know what I could expect if I went to the 10.5 or the 3D? Are those arms actual worth the money upgrades? Cartridges are Decca Super Gold, Denon 103r and an AT ART 7 on the way.
