| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D The 2nd pivot can be used on the metal arms, but may have a problem with some earlier vintage metal arms. Check with VPI and send them a picture and approx. purchase date so they can confirm the proper fit. Note that the 3D arm sounds very much be... | |
| What does a bad tweeter sound like? Thanks all....I just removed the tweeter from my Vandersteen 5A (left side) and am sending it back to Vandersteen for a rebuild. I hear just as you describe...louder on that speaker, fuzzy and metallic on some frequencies. I thought it was the ... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Bill / Moon Very interesting post. I remember owning a Helius arm...very high priced, but a miserable design.. It went back to England 4 or 5 times before I sold it.... it was gimballed and was supposed to be the second coming. I had trouble... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Don - I know about everything.. | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Raul....Interesting that you mention your objection to VPI arm regarding their serious needs for anti-skate. I've listened carefully with and without anti-skate on my metal 10.5 arm, on the 3D with and without the 2nd pivot and in all cases, the... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Raul.... I believe you are correct....that's why the 2nd pivot works so well. ...as to why the unipivots work as well as they do ....if one looks at a bautiful phonograph....even though it is clear and clean, when looking very closely, you'll see ... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Don - you do not know what you’re talking about. I’m sure you are not a VPI fan, but if you don’t know what truth is, you shouldn’t post to steer subscribers in the wrong direction. Damping fluid in the metal VPI arms can be useful if you want to ... | |
| Vandersteen 1ci vs Totem Arro There is no better customer support/service than Richard Vandersteen. He takes a very active position to help all of his customers. You'll never have a problem if you Vandersteen | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D I agree that a cartridge must negotiate a very poor road to travel....in Arizona, some of the car roads are also very poor, yet my car suspension system compensates for that leaving a pleasant riding experience. My cartridge also has a suspension ... | |

| Blu-ray audio - must I have a TV? I have a DVD audio player....its very difficult if at all possible to get to the information. Maybe it can be on the Yamaha, but its not readily available on an Ayre. | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Actually, you’re right the gimbaled arm has virtues that the unipivot doesn’t and v/v. The reason the 2nd pivot attachment to the unipivot was released is because the 2nd pivot combines the advantages and none of the disadvantages to the competing... | |

| ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm thom_ is oh so right. The minute differences in setup makes huge differences in the final sound. Raising/lowering the rear of my tonearm by less than a mm affects the soundstage, the tone, the tracking, et al. This hobby is a true pia..... | |
| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D Raul....very few people on these sites are wrong or right.....Does one prefer Mozart to Beethoven? All designs have something that can be pointed to with ridicule. I've had many arms - (lets see if I remember some of them)...Grado Labs, ESL, SME... |
