good read guys. your findings mirror my own with the arm. give the nordost wire time to run in (i put in about 50 hours on it) and then do your final adjustments. once the nordost wire is run in the bass becomes more extended (its real lean at first) and the highs will be a little less forward.

with all the adjustments to mess with i ended up playing around for about a month before really dialing things in. no doubt the arm is a big improvement over the stock jmw 9 arm.

i still am running things without the anti-skate at this time.

Are all you guys using the anti-skate mechanism? I have not installed mine yet but was considering trying it out over the holidays now that I have some time.

How do I know when its set right?

I am pretty happy with things as they are without it, just a bit leary to mess with a good thing is all.

Glad to hear you got your new toy Stiltskin. Yes you will need to be patient to get things just right (cable burn in plus all the new adjustments) but its worth it. With my limited hours of listening each week it took me just about 2 months before I stopped fussing with things.
