VPI Classic 3 + 3D Tonearm SRA Adjustment issue
Isaacrivera, from your photo your tonearm is not as high on the pivot end as I had imagined. I found for both the JMW 10.5i and 3D arms that the CounterIntuitive device made adjusting more difficult, so I did without them on both arms. Regarding t...

VPI Classic 3 + 3D Tonearm SRA Adjustment issue
I have a Super Scoutmaster Ref. rim drive and recently installed a 3D tonearm to replace the JMW 10.5i arm. I use a Lyra Titan-i cartridge. I have found that both arms sound best when parallel to the platter. I use the Classic platter. I recall re...

I finally installed my cartridge onto the 3D tonearm for my Super Scoutmaster Rim Drive Reference table with Classic platter. I drove to VPI (about an hour from my home) and they helped get the right counterweight and made a few preliminary adjust...

Mat emailed me late last night and said there are different clearances between the black and silver color towers, so I requested the black VTA tower instead of having the side azimuth weights shaved down. Also, the 180 gram counterweight specified... 
New VPI 3D Arm
Well, I started to set up my 3D tonearm and ran into a snag. After installing the new tonearm bearing and tonearm rest, I found that the azimuth weight on the left side of the arm hits the VTA tower- there is not enough clearance between the tonea...

Great Service- thank you Mat!!I just received the new counterweight this morning before 10am from VPI which was Fed Ex'd overnight. Now I have the latest 180 Gram counterweight with fine adjustment and CounterIntuitive installed for my new 3D arm....

Hi Mat,Thanks for your response. We spoke yesterday (my name is Gary). We also talked about a different platter and bearing.How long will it take to machine a new 180 gram counterweight to fit the 3D arm and also accommodate the CounterIntuitive? ...

Great choice! I use the GS Slee Reflex with a GS Elevator for my Lyra Titan-i. Beautiful sound.

Mat emailed me very early this morning (2:30am) after I sent my last thread immediately responding to my email to Harry and said he will be sending me a new counterweight for the 3D arm on Monday. I have found that VPI offers very good customer se... 
New VPI 3D Arm
I received my new 10" 3D tonearm. Unfortunately the 180 gram counterweight that came with it apparently is the type for the thinner metal JMW tonearm- the opening is too small to fit the thicker diameter 3D tonearm. The thumbscrew that came with i...

Stringreen I agree, it would be much more convenient if VPI had devised a quick release for the anti-skate from the tonearm instead of having to remove the counterweight and completely readjusting- a complete waste of time to check anti-skate vs. ... 
New VPI 3D Arm
Stringreen, are you using the anti-skate device with the 3D arm? 
New VPI 3D Arm
I got a Counter Intuitive for my 10.5i tonearm but found it would not adjust properly when using my Fozgometer- the readings were very erratic. When I removed the Counter Intuitive from the counterweight I was able to adjust azimuth and got much m...

Anyone set up cartridge with redesigned counterweight for the 3D tonearm? If you did I'd like to know how it worked out overall. Thanks.
