Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm

I did spend some time trying to see if it could be bought from a seller in Japan. So far no luck in finding a web presence for one who has it listed. 

Whatever happened to the Viv Rigid Float CB (carbon fiber) tonearm?

Why do you suggest that “something happened” to the Viv with CF arm wand? So far as I know, it’s still available, CF being an option vs the standard metal wand.

Because I don’t see the CB on their website so I assumed discontinued:

Like VPI, generally seems that when both are offered, Carbon fiber tonearms performs better than aluminum/metal.  So I was wondering which ViV tonearm was better - the HA or CB?

DS Exports may no longer be involved.

Here in the US, it’s Mike Fajen @ Sierra Sound:
