from where I stand DD is a shill for this product plain and simple. Must have some kind of financial tie in to the product. Maybe I'm missing something but that's about all I can see.

one of these days someone will sell a uber expensive wire and then after further research publicly proclaim that its not so great as its price tag would suggest. Without then immediately coming up with the mkII version to replace it for even more,... 
worst sounding great lps
I wish relayer by yes was better.

I was just listening to machine head. It ain't bad at all. Bat out of hell is two dimensional and lacking dynamics but ok otherwise. 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
There is one room in my house without sound that a smaller pair of single driver full range speakers would fit into nicely along with a small tube amp. I would only use them for applications involving lower listening volume for sure. 
Would vinyl even be invented today?
Terabytes of digital data on an analog record....now there is some weird science. 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
"Or is it that peoples hearing is so different from person to person and that what one likes another finds unpleasant?"Much like most choices in life. Since no speaker is "perfect" you have to choose your distortions and limitations that float one...

I've spent more money on my stuff than most people would probably sanction. So I'm a freak, but maybe not a super freak. :-) It sounds just the way I want it to. If/when it doesn't, I attempt to address the issue. But I am a cheap bastard at heart...

Best Bat out of Hell recording
What Marty said.Have not heard a really good BOOH ever, vinyl or CD. Maybe there is a miracle digital remastering out there I have not heard. Dunno. The sound quality on teh limited Rundgren material I am familiar with in general is some of the wo... 
Do I really need a preamp?
Any input impedance is "compatible" ie it will work. Its more a question of how well. The 10X rule is commonly cited. That's a reasonable approach, the challenge being that impedance can vary widely at different frequencies and a single output imp...

THe Oakland A's and Kansas City Royals can't really afford to play in the Big Leagues with the Yankees, Red Sox, etc. but still have done pretty well of late. :^)The NFL has a salary cap to help keep their expenses down. The best teams still play ...

"Works for HDTV"How many guys who think digital is inherently inferior are willing to give up their HD TVs and go back to the old analog tube crap that preceeded it?I hooked an antenna up to my old portable analog TV with one of those inexpensive ... 
Single driver speakers without the pitfalls?
Take a look at This primer on how speakers work. It helps me to actually visualize why conventional full range pistonic drivers might not be such a great idea from a distortion perspective. Bending wave Walsh drivers are much better suited IMHO. ...
