The VPI Industries UniPivot tonearms, exemplified by the FB-10 model, utilize a unipivot bearing design mounted on a solid stainless steel rod for minimal friction and superior dynamics. Available in various lengths including 9-inch (JMW 9), 10-inch (JMW 10, FB-10, Fatboy), and 12-inch (JMW 12, FB-12) configurations, these tonearms feature removable armwands for quick cartridge swaps, adjustable counterweights, azimuth adjustments, and VTA options. Constructed from aluminum, steel, and advanced 3D-printed materials like epoxy resin and Delrin in some variants, they deliver low RMS distortion, rigid armtubes, and premium internal wiring such as VPI Copper weave or Nordost Reference. The FB-10 UniPivot stands out for its balance of precision, bass response, and compatibility with VPI turntables and others.
