Today must be wireless kit announcement day over at SVS. First we got the speakers, and now we have the SoundBase. This $500 stereo amplifier is intended to smarten up a set of existing speakers with the DTS Play-Fi platform (i.e. many streaming services + local DLNA server support). So you can ditch the HTPC + amp (or similar) for […]

Comedies are challenging as everyone’s sense of humour is so distinct. As the name implies, Single Parents tries to appeal to the decently sized single parent segment of the population’s households.

First off, this review is way outside of what we usually cover here, but I was so impressed with the results of a recent upgrade for my bike that I couldn’t help myself.

Fractal Design makes fantastic cases, at reasonable prices. Even now, after years of ownership, I still appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the design.
