JMW 10 inch - 3D Printed Gimbal Tonearm - Refernence Cabling - VPI
VPI JMW 10" - 3D Printed Gimbal Tonearm with Reference cabling
Precision meets innovation: high-end tonearm for audiophile sound quality
The VPI JMW 10" 3D gimbal tonearm is the result of decades of development and meticulous engineering - a high-precision 10-inch tonearm that combines the advantages of modern 3D printing technology with the stability of a gimbal-mounted design. This model has been specifically designed for discerning vinyl enthusiasts who demand maximum control, exceptional tracking and superior performance across the entire frequency spectrum.
Highlights and features
Innovative 3D printing technology
The tonearm is manufactured from a single piece using 3D printing technology, which minimizes internal resonances and ensures perfect rigidity and low weight. The material has excellent mechanical properties - ideal for the finest tracking.
Precise gimbal bearing design
In contrast to the uni-pivot solution, this tonearm is based on a gimbal bearing concept with four high-quality ball bearings. This double-bearing system enables particularly stable and controlled guidance of the pickup, resulting in precise channel separation and excellent tracking accuracy.
Reference internal cabling from Nordost
Equipped with the high-quality Reference internal cabling from Nordost, this tonearm is one of the best wired models in its class. Signal transmission is loss-free, dynamic and absolutely free of discoloration - an enormous benefit for audiophile listeners.
Compatibility and flexibility
The JMW 10 Gimbal is compatible with a large number of high-quality cartridges (MM and MC) and, thanks to sensitive adjustment options (VTA, azimuth, anti-skating), allows precise adjustment at the highest level.
10-inch design for minimized tracking errors
With its 10-inch arm length, the tonearm reduces the tangential tracking error angle compared to 9-inch arms, resulting in less distortion and a more natural sound.
Solid aluminum base with precise height adjustment
The arm is mounted on a solid aluminum mounting base that allows precise height adjustment (VTA on the fly) during playback - a feature that is invaluable when using different record thicknesses.
