The heavy duty 2. I kept the Prime sitting on a solid walnut block cabinet made by Audio Vault USA where my Scout had recently sat. One of the first things I noticed when using the Prime was that aside from Pogo dancing from the late 1. I am guilty of both witnessing and attempting in those days while living in London, dancing in front of the unit had no effect on the LP playingthe arm did not join in the dancing.

I had ample of both during my review of the Grado Labs Statement v. Ear 834P Manual' title='Ear 834P Manual' />I have fun listening over the last 2 months. For example, my brother Nick for my birthday gave me wonderful LPs such as a 1. The Very Best of Roy Orbison, on Monument, with its classic cut 1. Oh Pretty Woman. Meanwhile, my neighbors upstairs gave me boxes of old LPs, of almost exclusively classical music, some of which turned out to be in almost new condition. Thanks so much to my Editor who helped guide me as to how to quickly filter through hundreds of classical music LPs thrown in my lap at short notice I am still sifting through them. It never ceases to amaze me that an LP sitting alone for decades in a closet can survive with no damage to its sound only the cover seems to suffer. From the above mentioned trove of donated classical, these two I took a strong liking to right away        Decca, Gold Label Series LP, Maestro Segovia, with Andreas Segovia solo on guitar playing a variety of pieces by composers from as early as the 1.

The dynamic expression of these two great musicians Segovia, Civil was highly apparent through the Prime. Interestingly, I also found two old LPs of Haydns Symphony No. D Major, The Clock, both of which were in mono, and one was quite a fascinating find a Mercury Records recording from 1.

On the back cover it described the recording method as follows,A single omni directional microphone suspendedat the aural focal point of the hall, approximately 1. Control of balance and dynamics remained solely in the hands of the conductor, the end result being a faithful reproduction of the sound of the London Symphony Orchestra and of the acoustics of the Watford Town Hall. That album playing on the Prime gave me a new respect for mono recording. Aside from classical music, I also checked out Pink Floyds The Dark Side of the Moon, Joan Baez One Day at a Time, Frank Sinatra, Strangers in the Night, and Ginger Baker, Horses and Trees. Overall, bass extension, too, was displayed very nicely by the Prime, as witnessed by listening to organ, timpani, bass, and bass drums. Option Dual Pivot. As mentioned earlier, the JMW 1. D Arm VTA Base is a unipivot design, meaning that the back part rests on a thin spike. It is extremely sensitive to even a minor touch. Some find this too fragileone wrong move while drinking wine might do you inand they do not like the slight wobbling of the arm from side to side when you change tracks or first start an album. But this design allows for an extraordinary freedom of movement of the arm, not only in say 2 directions this allows the arm to do its job once settled in the groove.
