GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM
The VSM was reviewed in stereophile at the link below, in the measurements section the VSM is seen to have one of the flatest frequency responses I've ever seen. Also, it can be seen that the drivers are connected in positive polarity.http://www.s...

Black Level on Plasma Display
Most plasma displays suffer from the inability to display black- most display only shades of gray. It has only been recently that some manufacturers have been able to address this problem. The best display IMO is the Runco 42cx and 50 which use an...
