Suggestions for arm to replace VPI 12.7

Sdcampbell ... how much is the 3D wand? I assume the base is the same and the wand just fits on the Classic 3 tone arm uni-pivot base.

I own a tricked-out Classic turntable plinth with a Classic 3 tone arm base and wand. If the price is right, I may add the 3D wand to my bucket list.

P.S. -- Sdcampbell ... not sure if I would get more bang for the buck by upgrading my phone pre from the ARC PH-8 to the ARC Ref Phono 2 SE or upgrading my Lyra cartridge from the Kleos to the Atlas or Eatna.

Stringreen, my VPI TT has a Classic 3 tone arm base and Classic 3 wand. I thought the 3D wand is a simple drop-in on the Classic 3 base. Do you think that is NOT the case?

As to your comments about the Atlas and the Etna, as stated, my VPI Classic is fitted with the Classic 3 tone arm base and Classic 3 SS arm. Do you think those components would be unsuitable for extracting the best attributes out of the Atlas or Etna? Or are you thinking that my ARC PH-8 phono pre might not be up to the challenge.
