Looking to Replace an Oracle Delphi V with VPI

[10ovr]

Viewing the A'gon add for the Ares, I see where the seller lists a 12" 3D arm. Is this accurate? I was under the impression the the Ares Plinth could not accommodate a 12" Tonearm.

Just curious...

I have a 12" 3DR on my Aries [/quote]

The reason I ask is, that in a picture of the A'gon Add, the seller is measuring from the end of the Tonearm Stub to the Head Shell. I was under the impression that the Tonearm should be measured from the "Bell" or Pivot point to the Head shell.

I stuck a Tape on my 10" 3D Arm and it measured identical to the one pictured in the Add...[/quote]
Your right ,,It is a 10" in the picture ,,With a 12" the side weight hangs way over the side of the plinth ,,Just looked at my TT ,,,

The easiest way to know is to measure the Spindle to Pivot length, 10" arm=258mm 12" arm=300mm

If you look at his pictures and then look at the pictures farther down the page (is a 12") you'll see the difference in the base plate under the VTA tower , The larger black base plate is for the 12"

I SEE! So, the 12" 3D Arm is (was) available on the Ares, it just appears that the Table in question has the 10" Arm...I've learned something today, Thank You!

NO question, a Great Table. If someone would have bought it, expecting a 12" Tonearm, I'm sure they would have been a little PO'd Good on you contacting the Seller!
