Chris Groppi

Sennheiser is a very well known name in the headphone game. My first good headphones, and the center of my first high end audio system, were the Sennheiser HD580s I had in college.

Ortofon 2M Red Phono Cartridge

Chris Heinonen

In this review, we take a look at the Sony 46" backlit LED-array HDTV, model 46HX929.
