Dispersion, narrow, controlled, or bi?
I've never heard them, but the Steinway/Lyngdorf (at least some of their models) are powered dipoles with DSP.  They look quite interesting.  
Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ
I'm kinda in the Kennymacc camp, but at the same time you should be able to say when something is excessive/ridiculous/silly/stupid/obscene/insane...  Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done.  
Accessing Belt on Immedia RPM2 Turntable
Accessing the belt is a nightmare.  Perkins changed the design in his subsequent Spiral Groove models. It's a two person job.  You insert a lever into the gap between the metal plates of the plinth and pry the plinth apart.  It may not separate e... 
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
@roxy54, please explain how you reconcile your current opinion of the 888s with you earlier statements in the thread.  
Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers
@atmasphere, you basically restated what you said earlier in this thread and it's a very sound argument.  I just don't think you are allowing for individual, subjective taste.  We've both participated in this forum for a long time.  One of the thi... 
Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers
Just because a loudspeaker will work better with a big solid state amplifier doesn't mean it won't work very well with your moderate power tube amp.  I am not familiar with either the loudspeaker you are considering or your current amplifier.  The... 
Terry Reid
I actually think Led Zeppelin would have been a better band with Terry Reid.  Not knocking Robert Plant, but Reid was a really good guitarist who would have made live LZ much more interesting.  We'll never know...  
??? Where Does "High End" Start ???
I agree with Audiotroy.  
Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.
Try your existing Tyler loudspeakers in the new room before moving on the something else.  
They should charge more for it…
The article states that a competitor to WB believes they should charge more for  the product.  He is simply repeating what an industry insider has stated.  What evidence to you present to doubt him?  
They should charge more for it…
TAS also said a Rega turntable/arm/cartridge combo was a turntable of the year.  It's priced under $20k. Based on the description provided by TAS, I celebrate the WB TT.  It sounds like a really good design.  And if it's in line with other WB pro... 
Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage?
Glad you're safe.  Did you scan for counterfeit bills?  
Suggestions for a holographic preamp?
Buying multiple backup remotes from Herron would be a solid option.  
Suggestions for a holographic preamp?
I don't understand.  Your current system provides a deep holographic soundscape so your preamp is fully capable in this respect.  You say you want to replace it, but not for sound reason and then you don't say what those reasons are.  So why do yo...

Treat the buyer the same way you would want to be treated if you were him.  Remember, he thinks you might rob him.
