Tracking force and Unipivot tonearms
Great news! I do not know what I did but the JMW 9 is tracking perfectly now. No more sibilance, tracking distortion or anything. I am a very happy camper. I am tracking at 1.9 with a Glider. My VTA is lower than before(not parallel with record) b...

I think the issue with the Denon is resonance. It sounds great. I just get listening fatigue with it. Maybe a higher mass arm would be perfect. That would be interesting to try one of those carts on my scout.

The denon does indeed track well on this table. However, after about a half hour, my ears feel like they are about to bleed

I have done VTA adjustments until I was blue in the face. The comment by Jdaniel is interesting. After thinking about it, I am not sure if their is much difference in tracking when comparing what I remember in my first turntable, remember the old ...

Syntax, that is a good point with regards to isolation and lower tracking force. I am sure better isolation does make a huge difference. I had an HRS stand for a while and it did make a huge difference with tracking as I remember. That may be a bi...

my benz is older, but hardly used. That may be part on it

True, much has been written about the shortcomings of the JMW9. The thing is that I never play my music loud, so I doubt that vibration is really a major issue. I was intrigued on a more current thread where Jcarr eluded to the fact that many cart...

Is this true? I would not think 2 to 3 tenths of a gram would have this affect. I could see if I was tracking a full gram over the recommended weight may be a little too heavy. I noticed some of the other Benz carts go as high as 2.5 grams. The co... 
VPI 300 RPM vs 600 RPM Better?
I am getting too much vibration from the 300 RPM motor. I putthe 600 RPM motor back in, vibration gone. IMO, the 600 RPM is quieter.

In the ad they said quieter backgrounds. I am not so sure. 
Graham arm on Scout
lol. Just curious. I have never seen a graham arm and never auditioned one. I do see a lot of happy people who own them.I take it that it is like putting high performance tires on a Toyota Camary. I get it. The Scout seems to be a decent table. I ... 
Amps and integrateds w/ similar sonic sig to MC275
I think for the money, it will be hard to beat the mc275 
Kate Bush
My favorite Kate Bush album is called The Dreaming. 
How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge
The XV-1s is a GREAT CARTRIDGE. It could be your preference to the Blackbird but you might think differently about the XV-1s with a different setup. Maybe the Blackbird is a better match with the JMW 9.
