NAD has created the first high fidelity amplifier to have Chromecast built-in. The C 338 Hybrid Digital Integrated Amplifier allows you to stream or cast music directly from a mobile device or any music streaming app (like Spotify), so you can enjoy your favorite music sans wires.
I recently received BenQ’s new MH530FHD DLP Projector for review. It’s a compact model with a single Texas Instruments DarkChip 3 DMD powered by an efficient 203-watt UHP lamp that’s good for a claimed 3300 lumens.
For the first time in its history, the Emotiva company is offering a full entry-level surround sound system called the BasX (Basic-X) line. I find this particularly interesting because I’ve previously reviewed (and bought with my own money, and for full price) the Emotiva BasX stereo gear, including the PT-100 preamp...
This story begins at CES 2017 where Audio-Technica introduced a bevy of new moving magnet phono cartridges along with their statement ART-1000 moving coil cartridge to the public. This not so unusual event happened to coincide with my being surprise gifted a pristine record collection, courtesy of my in-laws. Now, strangely enough...

When I reviewed the original HiFiMAN HE1000 planar magnetic headphones about two years ago, I was pretty much bowled over by their performance, looks and sound quality. They were, at the time, the best pair of headphones that I had ever heard and still remain amongst...
I’ve had a chance to hear Andrew Jones demonstrate ELAC’s Uni-Fi line of speakers at both CES and RMAF and have come away from each demo feeling impressed with what I’d heard. Needless to say, I was excited when some shipment boxes from ELAC showed...
I recently received BenQ’s new HT1070 compact DLP projector for review. It’s a single-chip DLP with 3D support, a wireless HDMI option, and a fixed, short-throw lens. Unpacking the box reveals a semi-portable lightweight chassis that seems like many other inexpensive...
Have you longed for an easier way to achieve the best possible color from your display? Many flat panels and projectors have good built-in tools to dial in accuracy but nothing can compare to a LUT box. I’ve recently received Murideo’s new Prisma Video Processor...
Ban’t afford Audio Research’s flagship Reference products? Well, welcome to the club! But AR is also now offering much of that same technology in what they’re calling their “Foundations” line of equipment.
