AD - Authorized Dealer (shops selling the originals)

PVD - Particle Vapor Deposition (I believe) Whatever it specifically stands for, it's essentially black powdercoating of the case and other parts.

KB - Forum moderator, seller of high quality replica Soft Goods, and all round top guy

WC. Pretty excellent Pam-centric rep/gen forum.

BPH/VPH - Beats/Vibrations Per Hour eg. 21.6k is 21600 vph
