Is the JMW-9 arm equal to, better than, or inferior to the Hadcock GH228? Buying a table that's ready to go out of the box... | |
| Not getting enough volume with my new MM cartridge For what it's worth, the P5 tonearm is an RB700. | |
| Looking for guidance with older VPI HW-19 tables If you had a choice to mount a Hadcock GH228 on a VPI HW-19 MKIV with heavy TNT platter OR a Scheu Eurolab Premier, which would you choose? The Scheu is a little more expensive than the MKIV. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. | |

| Looking for guidance with older VPI HW-19 tables I really appreciate everyone's response. I'm still in exploratory mode right now, but the HW-19 Mk 4 is on my radar. The big unknown is how I'll mount the Hadcock. It has an unusual pivot to stylus distance of 228 mm. Most 9" arms are 222. If I go... | |
