  • Best show on TWiT

    This was the best show on TWiT. Too bad Leo hates anything and anyone who outshines him. First he ran off John C. Dvorak then he killed off Scott’s show. Sad.

  • Why is this in video?

    No one every shows a set up. It's just his mug and someone else staring at a camera. Great info but save your money and make it an audio only podcast.

  • I have been watching this podcast for a little over 2 years...

    This podcast contains countless gems of home theater wisdom. Do not expect everything to be covered in one episode, as the field of study is very broad, and very (very) complex! Great intelligent interviews and the host has a very cheerful and positive attitude. I am an audio professional and find this podcast indispensable. Thank you!
