Don't be afraid of cartridge setup.

True, I have been doing this for 45 years but setting up a cartridge to get 95% of what it can do is amazingly simple if you have a good alignment jig and decent eyes or good eyeglasses. Don't let the dealers fool you into thinking only they can do this, not true. Dealers will give you the 95%, if you want the last 5% you have to take the time and do it yourself. It is not hard, don't be afraid of a tonearm!!!

As far as the JMW tonearms are concerned, believe nothing you read or hear on the internet. Most of the time they have never heard the arm with the same cartridge you have, the same setup you have, the same listening habits you have, or even two different arms to compare on the same table with the same cartridge. The JMW-9 with a $4500.00 Dynavector will stun you when set up properly and a 12.7 with an $800.00 Dynavector will stun you in a different way when set up properly.
