About the Fatboy 12-3D
The VPI Fatboy 12-3D Tonearm features a full gimbal bearing design and is constructed using advanced 3D printing technology with materials including epoxy resin, Delrin, copper, aluminum, and steel. It has a pivot-to-spindle distance of 300 mm, an effective length of 313 mm, an effective mass of 12.5 g, an overhang of 13 mm, and an offset angle of 17.37 degrees. The tonearm includes a micrometer-style precision adjustable counterweight, azimuth side weights, VTA adjustment, and Limo connection. It uses Nordost Reference internal wiring for superior signal transmission. This tonearm is noted for its extreme rigidity and resonance-canceling taper design, delivering unparalleled dynamics, deeper bass, tighter midrange, and lifelike highs. It is compatible as an upgrade for most VPI uni-pivot style tonearms and is considered a significant sonic improvement over previous models.
