7 Facts Audiophiles Need to Know About Digital Music
Fear not, audiophiles: not all digital music is created equal. by Kurt Beyer

Remember back in the 1980s when you purchased your first CD?

Whether it was Billy Idol or The Psychedelic Furs, imagine if you had gone home and placed the Sony-manufactured CD in your Panasonic CD player, only to find out that it didn’t work.

Or, what if that CD from Virgin Records only had half the sound quality as... [Read More]

FlatWire: Scared Off by the Spackling
By Richard Sherwin
FlatWire can help remove your A/V cable clutter, provided you're capable of spackling, sanding and painting.

When I first saw the FlatWire box and advertising materials at a summer preview in NYC and later in Denver, I thought this might be the be-all-and-end-all way that gets my family off my back for the clutter of wires stretching throughout our home. My wife, who has complained on these pages about our... [Read More]

10 Outdoor A/V Products
CE Pro rounds up 10 A/V products for outdoor entertainment.

There's still time to supplement traditional home systems with outdoor speakers, theaters, automated fountains and other outdoor components.

Although it might be a little chilly for outdoor entertainment here in New England, there's still a little time to enjoy a float-in movie with family and friends by the pool in some of the warmer climates across the country.

Satellite Radio Merger: The Beginning of the End?
By Richard Sherwin
Sirius and XM have finally joined forces, but is this good news for listeners?

No matter how this transition pans out,... [Read More]

By Rachel Cericola
Console users are finding titles missing from the streaming Netflix selection.

Do not adjust that dial or set-top box. You can also stop banging the remote against your coffee table and/or head. There is nothing wrong with your Xbox 360 setup.

Apparently, Sony doesn’t want to play nice with Xbox’s newfound abilities to stream Netflix. MTV Multiplayer says they have pulled all Sony content from the... [Read More]
