Armwand removal on Technics EPA-B500 tonearm..
I just sent you the manual. I use a Dennesen Soundtracker for an alignment tool. Unfortunately, they don't make these any more.

Armwand removal on Technics EPA-B500 tonearm..
You use the "lock" screw to unlock it and then slide the arm wand to the right until it completely clears the base to fully remove it.I have a pdf of the manual if you need it. 
Hook up questison
I agree with Swamp. Try both as stand alone units and see which sounds better.I was a Nakamichi and NAD dealer and sold both of these units. The NAK should be a little sweeter, smoother and warmer in sound than the NAD, but the NAD will be a littl... 
Digital Audio Out Audiophile Newbie pt. 3
It really depends in what context we are talking about to answer your questions.IMHO:"What do you guys think of digital audio out (optical/coax)?" I think very highly of it."Do you find that it diminishes audio quality? No"Given only the choice be... 
Hook up questison
"Does this mean I use the tuner portion of the NAK only then plug everything else into the NAD?"Yes. 
Hook up questison
Since the NAK receiver doesn't have pre-in/main-out jumpers you can't hook it and the NAD integrated amp together. It can really only be used as a stand alone unit.You could run the tape out of the NAK into the tuner input of the NAD and use the A...

Have you found reliable online used vinyl vendors?
Mike, (wwjdmike) here on AudiogoN has some excellent used LPs at GREAT prices. I've ordered many times from him and have always been very pleased.He doesn't have a list per se, so you have to just scroll through all of his listings here, but well ... 
High output MC
If you really don't need a HOMC, try an Ortofon 2M Red. At $99, it's a killer little cart and since you're going to just be using it as an interim cartridge, you could spend the extra $250 you saved...on vinyl! 
VPI Scout 1.1 distance from phono-pre
I agree with John that you should keep the length as short as possible. With that said, I am currently running two of my tables with a 1.5M and a 2M (DIN to RCA) tonearm cable with excellent results.I have almost always had at least a 1.5M or 2M t... 
Denon 103S
Here is a pretty current thread on AudiogoN about the 103:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1392314610 
Why does the VPI motor thump
John is right. Well known fact. I was a VPI dealer for many years and this goes all the way back to the HW-19 series.I've personally owned well over 50 different VPI tables and most, but not all of them did this. I think it has a lot to do with th... 
Record Store Day...
Mike Mills will be at Bull Moose on RSD to sign copies, so I'm assuming that they will have some.Like I said above, I have seen it and held it in my hands, so I know at least a few are out there. This one is mine, but I have to wait until Saturday...
