Creative Vado HD
The original Creative Vado HD can now be had for under $75 online. That is a far cry from the original $229 MSRP or even the $156 and change it sold for not long ago. If you want a pocketable HD camcorder and don’t have to have the absolute latest model you won’t […]

Audio-Technica ATH-M35 Headphones

Samsung LN40B630 LCD HDTV
Regular readers of my column and this site know I much prefer plasma TVs over LCD TVs. There are still LCDs I like and would not mind owning, and the Samsung LN40B630 LCD HDTV is one of them. I may still buy one yet, given the current $849 price, which makes […]

so-na-wall Speakers
Anyone who has visited my site or read my newspaper column regularly knows what I think of the tiny Bose Acoustimass cube speakers. To sum it up, they are horribly designed and executed, have serious sonic defects, and are an extremely poor value Check out Bose: Better Profits through Marketing to learn the […]
Stanton L720 EE P-Mount/Universal Cartridge
Jerry at Jerry’s Records (see my tour of Jerry’s) first clued me in on this one. He uses Stanton cartridges on the turntables in his store, and the music playing throughout it certainly sounds good. Kevin at KAB Electro Acoustics is a big fan of Stanton as […]
