AZIMUTH RING 

 

Unlike other unipivot arms, the JMW’s lateral balance weight does not hang off to the side of 

the arm.  Instead, its position around the bottom of the upper bearing housing places the 

weight below the pivot point.  This increases mass below the pivot and increases arm stability. 

 

Playing Records 

 

Before playing a record, make sure that the two tonearm screws in the arm base are tight.  

 

General Use 

 

Allow at least 20 hours of break-in time.  

 

If you notice hum in the system, remove your interconnects and replace them with very 

cheap, standard VCR interconnects. These are well shielded and should eliminate the hum. If 

the hum goes away, get quality, well shielded interconnects.
