VPI JMW 3D Tonearm

The 3D-printed structure allows for a complex, seamless geometry that is impossible to achieve with machined metal. This results in a rigid, lightweight arm that significantly reduces internal resonances, leading to a cleaner and more detailed sound.

A uni-pivot design rests on a single point, which minimizes friction for superior tracking. While this offers exceptional sonic transparency, it requires a steady hand during setup and careful balancing to ensure the arm remains stable during playback.

The reference wiring utilizes higher-purity conductors and improved shielding compared to the standard option. This upgrade is recommended if you have a high-resolution system, as it helps preserve the delicate signal from your cartridge with greater clarity.

Yes, the JMW 10 is available in both configurations. The uni-pivot is favored for its fluid, open sound, while the gimbal option provides a more traditional, stable feel that some users find easier to manage during routine operation.

This tonearm is specifically engineered for seamless integration with VPI turntables. While it may be possible to mount it on other decks, it requires precise geometry matching and may necessitate custom mounting hardware.
