Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 35 ratings
  • Good for keeping up with audio and video tech trends

    Good podcast for keeping up with the latest audio and video gear and industry trends. They seem to favor the higher end stuff like million dollar home theaters and $100K speakers, but do also feature more affordable real world gear. Particularly good at explaining all the audio and video tech and buzzwords. Keep it up, guys!
