| Help setting up JMW tone arm I don't have a JMW arm, but I saw a set screw for the cueing assembly in one of the pictures. This set screw was just to the right of the cueing assembly and just above the cueing lever, screwed horizontally into the supporting member. Perhaps if ... | |
| Help setting up JMW tone arm I have a Dual 1019 and a Miracord 50H (both 1960s vintage designs) whose arms rotate on "ball race" pivots, i.e., ball bearings captured in a circular trough. I think the vertical movements are "gymbal" pivots, based on horizontal needles squeezin... | |
| Are Monitor/Subs More Room Flexible? I would vote for #1: just get a sub. I wouldn't want to jeopardize your satisfaction with the Lineaums' mid and treble by replacing them. It sounds like you've already found a great fit with your room there. Some investment in time and software to... | |
| Are Monitor/Subs More Room Flexible? The challenge for a monitor/sub combo in a large room is for the monitors to be able to fill the room with realistic sound levels. I also agree with Beheme that monitor-sub integration is non-trivial. The advantage for the combo would be the oppor... | |

| Sealed Loudspeakers? Most, if not all, NHT speakers are acoustic suspension.Although NHT might not have as blue blood a high end pedigree as the speakers Seantaylor99 mentioned, they do have some claim to lineage from the Golden Age in the U.S. -- one of NHT's founder... | |
| Receiver shuts down after a message My guess is a protection circuit was triggered and needs to be reset. I read the following post on another forum, which I have copied below:"I saw this problem from a Sony ES receiver after I...ahem...shorted out one of the speaker leads while it ... | |
| New Doors box set Nikturner920, I just bought this set after reading your post. I'm looking forward to hearing the surround versions! | |
| CDP's that have Digital Inputs The Mark Levinson 390s CDP has a digital input. | |
| prehistoric footers The following web site sounds like what you're looking for:http://www.vintageaudioworld.com/I have excerpted the fourth paragraph on the web page:"Our exclusive range of Ancient Kauri Footers & Bases is made from New Zealand kauri timber that ... | |
| watts or joules? "My question still remains ..."My simplistic response is that an amp with a 50 watt rating might not be able to handle certain music peaks. 50 watts alone might not be enough. The 50 watt rating is how much power the amp will deliver on a steady s... | |
