best place to buy toshiba hdtv?
Toshiba has a lot of Refurb TV's available. Check Ubid.com and there is a guy on Ebay who sells them. His ID is Trvlr1184 or something like that. He will sell outright to you if you email him. Ships from IN...good luck 
Component video cable
Canare has a great reputation and I intend on getting some. 
Best one box 16-bit cd player
The Linn CD12 is the best I have ever heard.

$1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete
I am going to try the Audio Refinement with the Magnepan MMG's this very afternoon. If the Complete can handle the MMG's power requirements, I am expecting a nice match. The MMG's are not harsh in the upper frequencies, but they are bright in my r...
