So one piece tonearm, made out of composite material, a traditional VPI uni-pivot. I would think the race, or female portion of the pivot, which is in the arm would have to be the traditional stainless steel, not composite. I am speculating here, but I should think if you turn the tonearm over there would be a stainless still receiver for the pointed uni-pivot on the base of the VPI arm. I can't wait to hear some reviews about that arm. I tend to tighten things quite a bit, I should think with a composite head, consideration should be made not to tighten the cartridge screws too much as to not damage the head.
I believe I saw a picture of the brass side weights, maybe on VPI Facebook, the side weights looked very beefy, larger that the current JWM arms.
Stringreen are you using your JWM VTA tower, or is there a new VTA tower that comes with the 3D arm?
