VPI's return/upgrade policy will be to charge you for whatever is required to make your arm work.
I went through 3 rounds of returns and reworks with VPI on my 3D arm
for a C3 and in the end the experience left me so exhausted that I have since
sold the arm as well as the table on Audiogon. I will not be purchasing anything else from VPI....
However:
The person who bought my arm read VPIs giant statement on the 3D arm page of their website that said "This tonearm is backwards compatible and will fit on all past and current VPI Turntables."
That is a bold faced LIE!
His fairly recent classic one has the arm base coming up from the arm mount,
not the platform and VPI's response to him??
"Give us 415.00 and we'll send you what you need to make it work"......
now I might get negative feedback on Audiogon because I can't take
the arm back......
The prototypes never end.......
