About the JMW 10.5 classic
The JMW 10.5 classic tonearm is a uni-pivot design used in the VPI Classic 1 turntable, which was introduced as a 30th anniversary special edition. It features a 10.5-inch effective length and is known for its rigid mounting that enhances speed stability and noise rejection. The tonearm includes anti-skate adjustment as standard and allows for azimuth, VTA, and anti-skate fine tuning. It is wired with VPI pure copper wire and designed to maintain low resonance and high resolution. The arm is a special edition (JMW-10.5i SE) with a simplified base to reduce cost while preserving sound quality. It does not have a dial on top for on-the-fly VTA adjustment, unlike the more expensive Classic II model. The arm weighs approximately 12.3 grams and supports a wide range of cartridges. It is praised for delivering fast, clean, and wide-open sound with deep bass and excellent speed stability.
