VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions

Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon?
I hear Ya!. I also agree about "Professor SDCampbell". I followed religiously his "list" on his "Best of Jazz release" for 2001 and 2002. I bought almost 200 CDs in my 3 month quest. Follow his suggestion and live a happy man. Also check out his v...

Thanks Fefer77. I'll try that reference tonight.

Discovering Lester Young

Little Know Speaker Builders
Try Don Morrison at Morrison audio. He's famous for making the E.L.A.D. (line-stage preamp) but you have to hear his speakers, glorious and the response is as flat as flat could be with the 3D imaging that is out of this world.
