Grado in ear headphones
We have long been asked for a Grado quality in ear headset and
had to tell friends and customers it did not exist. We listened to even the rather expensive options
and did not like how they sounded. Now Grado has finally released the iGi and offers an in ear
sound like no other. When you want to listen while travelling, jogging or just need to keep all
the music to yourself the iGi offers a performance far better than its modest $89 cost!
ProAc Releases the Response D1 speakers
ProAc has finally replaced the benchmark Response 1sc with the fantastic Response D1. These speakers may be small in size, but do not sound it. The improvements over the 1sc include more extended bass and a more dynamic sound. The unbelievable thing is ProAc was able to do this without losing the magical sound of the midrange, especially on vocals. Come see why we are still in awe of Stewart Tyler and the line of ProAc speakers that are designed, engineered and built in England. More info >>

available. Designed to handle resolutions well beyond 1080p.

Newcastle R772 Receiver
The Newcastle receiver range has been updated to include the really hyped features
but retains the most critical aspect; better sound and picture. The addition of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD
Master Audio are nice, but do not guarantee good sound. HDMI switching and digital video do not
guarantee a better picture. Solid engineering coupled to these new technologies yields a result that
delivers better picture and sound. The new Newcastle receivers start at $799 and offer great value.

reference quality system. Sells for $4995 and stomps more expensive separates.
