I have upgraded my VPI JMW 12.5 with this box. My tonearm is 8 yrs old with the silver junction box so I felt this would be a good upgrade for me. You have to unmount the tonearm from the plinth to do this install. I had no trouble doing this but I work with tools all the time. If you are not handy with tools then seek professional help. After installing the first thing I noticed is an increase in bass, it is tight and clean. The second thing is an increase in detail. I am hearing details from albums that I never heard before. The sound is crisp and clean. If I didn't hear it with my own ears I would not have believed it was possible. I would highly recommend this upgrade to owners of JMW tonearms with the stock silver colored junction box. I have contacted VPI about getting my tonearm wiring upgraded to the silver Nordost wiring. If I get that much of a performance increase from the junction box, I can't wait to hear the difference with the tonearm's silver wiring!
