| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions There should also be a small set screw that needs to be lossened. The whole assembly can be adjusted up or down, depending on the knob's position. Loosen the knob, pull the assembly up, retighten the knob. do this in small increments. | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions Jmcgrogan2,There is no oil damping on the JMW9 arm. Are you referring to the main platter bearing? Scouts I've seen (including my own)have come from the factory not requiring any user applied bearing oil. | |

| Best bargain find ever ? Over the past weekend, I picked up a Nakamichi CD4 single disc player with box and remote, excellent physical and mechanical condition for 10.00. Don't know a damn thing about it. Little help here? | |
| need a $200-$300 interim amp Look around for a used B&K ST140. I have seen them for 275 - 400. They are great amps and tend to sell very quickly. You may like it so much, you will forget about getting a Bryston at all. | |
