Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
Never heard of them. Played "When the Curtain Falls" on youtube. In the first 45 seconds the lead singer threw his hands up in what can only be interpreted as mimicking a Robert Plant move. Its more than just the music. 
What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ?
A different perspective...Twenty years ago, when I had better ears and a less expensive audio system, I made a visit to the local high-end store. I had $5k invested in used equipment (ARC tubes, Soundlab Dynastats, HGS sub). Listened to my referen... 
Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist.....
FYI I ran a pair of  Perreaux 2150B bi-amped to push Apogee Stages. They ran nice and warm/hot, but not scary hot. 
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
I have a pair of FPB200m if you have any interest. One is not working (was working when I bought them). I've moved on to ARC tubes. 
Roger Waters-Amused to Death
I listened to the album 3-4 times before I realized the barking dogs in the first 5 minutes were actually in the recording and not directly to my right and outside the house. Stunningly wide sound stage at no noticeable loss of sound quality.

Assuming, down the road, we add a turntable to the system. Are there pre/dacs that allow for analog connections? Everything I see only has inputs for digital.Do any of the phono amps have xlr outs?Or is more common to use an actual "preamp" with v... 
Faceplate & Handles for Audio Research Classic 60
I have a new pair of black handles. They came with a CL60 I bought in 1998 or so. They were all wrapped in bubble wrap, but somehow I found one floating around the bedroom sans wrap. Not sure where the other is, but if you are interested in one or...
