I’ve said this before - but I really don’t know anyone (outside of people in home theater circles) that talks about watching anything on disc - ever. No one talks about playing old discs. No one talks about buying new discs. It’s all streaming. Travis, I think your 5% estimate might be too...

Technically speaking, no. But it varies from quite good to not so good, and there’s a lot of factors that impact that. I don’t think we’re far off from some incredible streaming experiences tho. Just look at tech like Auro-CX. Once things like that take hold, physical media will have met its...

Yeah, you’ve gotta have a player that’s been approved. They run in the $120-$160 range if memory serves. I tried to save by buying a player used… sold as working but no power cord. By the time I sourced a cord, months had passed. Of course, that player never worked. Should have stuck with a...

Beautiful! Are you in an apartment in a city? A home? Looks like you’re adding to a mixed media space.

Thanks Robert! He’s done an amazing job at those events. When the rubber hits the road, people’s true colors shine, and Jason has been amazing under in those circumstances!

(March 11, 2025) One of the great joys of covering the AV industry has been getting to know the talented, infectiously passionate, and friendly folks who pour their passion into products, projects, and initiatives. Today's news involves a major move for one of those individuals, Jason Dustal...

Unfortunately, the interview from ISE never materialized because of some conflicts. But... I did create this short:

(March 11, 2025) Bowers & Wilkins and McLaren have taken their long-standing partnership to a new level, with the premium audio brand now becoming the Official Audio Partner of the McLaren Formula 1 Team. This move extends their existing collaboration, which has seen Bowers & Wilkins engineering...

So glad to have you part of the community! The A10H is going to serve you well for years. As you point out, the biggest downside is paying extra for Dirac. Ideally, that would be bundled into the price. The inclusion of Dirac Full with Bass Control is really only reserved for the most...

I was pretty high on The Possessor. That film is twisted. It actually haunted me for a good week.
