New products!The new Moon Evolution series is now available. We have on display the SuperNova CD player and the i-7 integrated amplifier. These pieces are as beautiful to look at as they are to listen to. Viewing at 1080p is now possible with LCD panels from Sharp, plasma panels from Pioneer, and projectors from Sim2. The picture at 1080p has to be seen to be believed. The new high-definition DVD formats are just now breaking into the marketplace. Both HD-DVD and BluRay Disc offer playback at 1080p. We have seen the display at the shows and both are outstanding, but there are initial difficulties and the players are very expensive. We are waiting for the dust to settle a bit before jumping into this one. Almost all of the video products now transfer data across high-definition media interface (HDMI) connections. This new interface is the next version of the digital video interface (DVI) and is capable of carrying both video and audio signals in digital format. We feature Ethereal cables to make these connections. Unfortunately, specifications for copy protection are not yet solidified, even though version 3 is now available. This protection technology, called high-bandwidth digital copy protection (HDCP), is evolving, so it is difficult for all manufacturers to be at the same level. Make sure any products you intend to connect using HDMI are compatible. We are now delivering the Harmony 880 and 890 remote controls as well as the 1000 tablet model. All models offer a customizable LCD screen with icons for your viewing and listening activities. The 890 is capable of sending control signals both by infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF). If your equipment is hidden in a cabinet or closet, the 890 may be just the ticket for your family. We are also proud to offer remotes from RTI corporation. These remotes are for higher-end applications where larger screen size on the remote control panel is a requirement and where the complexity of the system configuration demands greater control flexibility.

Items of particular interestOur main theater room now has the latest processor with the latest software from Halcro Logic. The SSP-200 processor does an outstanding job, and the Orbiter universal player from Moon handles everything we have fed it. Our movies and TV are better than ever. We continue to believe that power management is an important feature of any home theater or stereo system. We are proud to offer power systems from Richard Gray Power Company and from Brick Wall. We recommend the installation of a separate 20A circuit for your electronics and video, supplemented with one of the fine products from Richard Gray or Brick Wall. |
