Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm
Dave - the weight on all VPI 3D arms move along the back end of the arm tube.  It is very hard to adjust properly on these older arms, so VPI then included the Counterintuitive to make it easier.  I would try to rotate the counterweight without th... 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
KJL1065.....I have Vanderteen 5A's and have been experimenting with many, many cables.  ClearDay Cables are to these ears are as good as the very best, most expensive Wireworld cables.  I'm using double shotgun and couldn't be more pleased.  He wi... 
Tonearm ringing excited during playback
I had a Benz Ebony LPS on a VPI metal arm and it was wonderful......I really don't think the problem is the arm 
Ayre <--> Parasound <--> Pass : where are you?
I have a total Ayre system (Vandersteen speakers)  power cords DO make a difference as do speaker cables......balanced interconnects not so much. 
headphone amps
Match Ayre Codex with a top Sennheiser offering and be mesmerized. (Use the phones in balanced mode with top Cardas headphone cable.)

How many members have climate controlled listening rooms

Low mass 12" tonearms?
Get a suggestion from Soundsmith.  He's values his customers and knows his products. ( His stuff usually mates well with VPI - but that's only my suggestion) 
Jeff Rowland Design Group
I also had wonderful support from Rowland. 
Harmon Kardon ST-7 with Rabco Tonearm
I never owned one, but a close friend did.....agreed with schubert (above).   The arm is a dog - don't think it was Rabco. 
Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts
forget biamping unless you have 2 exactly the same amps....your connection is much too fraught with "issues" 
BEST SHIELDED XLR CABLES
I use XLR balanced cable throughout my system... and comparing various high end brands, the differences between them are minimal....not so with speaker cables, but true with interconnects
