New VPI 3D Arm
Stringreen I assume you used the same Mint protractor for the 10.5 arm as for the new 3D arm, correct? I figured both arms have the same overhang dimensions.

Thanks Stringreen,I ordered the 180 gram weight as that is what is recommended for my Lyra Titan-i cartridge on the VPI website. 
New VPI 3D Arm
Well I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 10" 3D tonearm for my Super Scoutmaster Reference table with rim drive. I'm really looking forward to getting it!

I don't think Mikey is the end all be all when it comes to analog. That being said, I cannot think of any other single individual who has done more to help advance the interest and popularity of LP's and turntables and the rebound it's had over th... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed

Speaker cable recommendations

The last 6 feet - is it important?
I've used some high end fuses in place of the standard Radio Shack type. They also make a noticeable improvement in sound quality and goes hand in hand with upgraded power cables. 
The last 6 feet - is it important?
I read an interesting article about the last few feet of power cord are the first few feet your system sees.
