I have a weird buzz issue; can you help me solve the problem?
If buzz on both channel, I suspect the CSiB power supply section or internal grounding has issue, my suggestion is send it to a tech to diagnose. 
share 2 CH speakers with HT set up or use separate speakers for front end of a 7.2 HT?
My suggestion is go for HT bypass, what you need is a pair of interconnect cable. 
Vandersteen 2c vs Thiel CS2
@mike_in_nc Thanks for your quick response, I've used Jantzen 0.33mH foil coil in series to the coax xover to tame sibilance on bright recordings.  
Vandersteen 2c vs Thiel CS2
Thiels have very pronounced treble. That gives them great imaging, air, and soundstaging, but can make them hard to listen to. I finally built a low-pass filter to tame them. @mike_in_nc Can you kindly provide details of the low-pass filter?  
Voltage conversion of Accuphase A-48
The purpose of voltage conversion from 100v to 120v is to give the amplifier circuitry correct operation voltages.https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Yn62ubWAJB8/XZBPQoN1Z8I/AAAAAAADXY8/Fa5bof2bzGs7ECGh9lAp1qj-ddhNSw6dwCLcB... To measure voltages across l...

Plug the CSiB directly to the mains without any conditioner, and only connect the outputs to speakers, no connection to any input, the buzz still remains if bias is on?

2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers
@b_limo That is one of the few units I custom built for my friend to demo amplifiers in his shop for his customers and his audio club. His customers usually don't had time to wait an hours or two for setting up and compare tube amps, so these sele... 
2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers
Most (not all) SS amplifier has relay at the output for delay turn-on and protection. If both tube amp and SS amp are connected to the speaker and only the tube amp is on, it will do no harm to both amp because the SS amp output stage is disconne...

Instead of swapping cables, I think using a high quality amplifier selector is a safer way to switching amplifiers. http://www.beresford.me/S/home_htm_files/TC-7220MKII.pdf 
Jelco tonearms closes
Compare to other tonearms in the market, I think Jelco priced too low to survive.   
What are small gold colored "caps" that came in bag with perfect path products?
Great "explanation", as always... 
What are small gold colored "caps" that came in bag with perfect path products?
I was surprised to find they worked even on a CD player that I never use. In other words the CD player is connected to the system, but not selected, and yet listening to the turntable the sound was better with these things on the CDP! ???
