About the Fatboy Gimbal 12-3D
The VPI Fatboy Gimbal 12-3D is a premium 12-inch tonearm featuring advanced 3D-printing technology for superior rigidity and resonance control. Constructed from epoxy resin, Delrin, copper, aluminum, and steel, it delivers unparalleled dynamics, deep bass, responsiveness, punch, tight mids, and airy highs. Designed with a full gimbal bearing, it includes adjustable drop counterweight, azimuth side weights, VTA adjustment, and Limo Connection for precise cartridge setup. Ideal for VPI turntables and compatible with others, it uses high-quality internal wiring (VPI Copper weave or Nordost Reference) for optimal signal transfer. Noted as VPI's most rigid armwand, it's a significant upgrade over previous models like JMW 3D arms.
