Another new surround sound technology from two speakers is set to hit the streets. The technical explanation of how it works is a little beyond my scope of expertise. Perhaps I can get John to interpret this: The TDK system employs a “giant magnetostrictive material” that uses; you guessed it ferromagnetic materials, to convert magnetic energy into kinetic energy to […]
Read moreThey key to being happy with any HT purchase is to audition, audition, audition, audition. You want your ears or eyes to be satisfied with your purchase.

Well there's a video clip on YouTube from a news report of some new devices actually in testing. The coolest one IMO (In my opinion) is the MCE-enabled Washer/Dryer. […]
Read moreMore about the format wars? Yah, I guess I am a sucker for punishment. My opinion of how the companies have handled this launch are obvious but I am just as passionate about getting the best possible picture on my TV.
