Commercial vs retail TV what are tech differences?
The main difference between all commerical and cosnumer Plasmas are the RF immitions.The consumer and comercial versions are nowhere near the same in specs when it comes to leakage of RF.This is the big reason for difference in cost.Though temptin... 
Audio Aero Prima Dac
Goldmund does not make a 22k cd player(only transports which is 16k and 25k respectively),so what ever you heard from Goldmund was either the Eidos 18 universal player,,or more likely the entry level SRDVD universal player. 
best sounding DVD transport?
Goldmund Eidos 38D without question.Yes I am dealer. 
Von Schweikert VR2 vs. VR4 Gen III
The VR4s will give you a bigger sound,more depth,and larger soundstage,plus you can always get them upgraded to the SE for a fee and that will bring you right up to date.The VR2s are very good and have the soft dome tweeter which may be a plus for... 
Has anyone demoed Audio Teknes cables?

Skipping on Meridian 506.20
I would be careful with compressed air as it can emit water. I have been told by maufacturers to only use a dry Q-tip. If that doesn't work it may need an adjustment. 
Spectron Musician II -- deep bass perfomance??
Kana813.I handle the Spectron because it is the best of he best in class d techonlogy.And as you well know this all subjective.To my ears,and obviously others they have found the Stellavox better to them.Does that mean you would?I cannot answer th... 
Spectron Musician II -- deep bass perfomance??

Spectron Musician II -- deep bass perfomance??
As a dealer for the brands I am going to mention I can tell you the Musician II has plenty of bass.At this price point there is nothing I know of other than the Stellavox that can beat it.Also Being a dealer for Bel Canto also,I would say the They... 
HMS. cables
Christian(Tekunda) is no longer a member of Audiogon as he has taken people's money and not delivered goods.If you type in is user ID you will see that we are talking big time money.Though a controversial person,to say the least,I can only imagine... 
I am considering the Piega C-8 Limited or the P10.
I agree with tireguy.I always found the P 10s to be very shrill on the top end.Though you can great deals on them now,there are also other brands that should be considered.The P 10s are beautiful looking speakers but not my cup of tea and I was al... 
Spectron versus Gryphon Callisto
As a dealer for both VSA and Spectron and Goldmiund(not familiar with the Gryphon) I can tell you that the Spectron and VSA do match very well.But even better is the Stellavox,or JOB.Quicker,better high end.Price point is similar but less wattage,... 
Audio Valve Amps? Good?Bad? Love Them?
The new models are self biasing.As stated above they are low maintenance and sound good.They do not stand out from the rest of the pack in this price range but certainly should be a consideration.
