Because as my header suggests, based on the thread...

I wonder why anyone would go through the trouble of using a unipivot. In my response, I stated that I haven't had these issues. I've installed carts on VPI's, Graham's and Grace's and I'm not having the same problems. The VPI's were at first somewhat challenging to master but once you get the hang of it they're pretty simple.

The azimuth collar was/is pretty simple in achieving a balanced azimuth. It's not a fine adjustment, but I haven't found it to be a huge problem. I'm also a Musical Surroundings dealer, and at this point I don't find the Grahams any more or less challenging in set up than the VPI arms. As a user, I'd be proud to use either arm on my personal tables.

Since the VPI arm is a unipivot, I'm "curious" why you said that... - Brian Walsh 13:11:24 07/18/12 (3)

I can vouch for your set up Brian, it is the best I have heard. PERIOD - tubesforever 18:20:48 07/19/12 (1)

Static azimuth alignment is one thing, but dynamic azimuth alignment..... - viridian 11:15:26 07/18/12 (0)

Yes, it certainly does - Brian Walsh 11:02:25 07/18/12 (0)

Hmm, haven't a problem with Grado Master/Morch UP-4 w/blue armtube. But I use a non-tech method. - Rick W 12:20:56 07/18/12 (0)
