Episode 25 - Music Streaming Services

Just like streaming TV networks these days, there are also plenty of music streaming services to choose from. We've had experiences with a few, but not all, and we have some things to say about them! Come join the conversation live, or catch us on the flip side in audio form wherever you download your favorite podcasts! But also come for the tangents to other off-topics as per usual.

Episode 24 - Let's Talk About "Back in the Day"

Let's face it - nostalgia is a HUGE seller these days. But are we holding onto the past thinking it really was a better time when it comes to car audio, going to the movie theater on a Friday night, or popping in that fresh new Korn album in your CD player? (heehee!) Or do we really have unprecedented times right now? Let's discuss!

Episode 23 - APERION AUDIO (with Guest Collin Lybarger)

Hooray! Both Brad and I have a wonderful relationship with Collin from Aperion Audio that already spans many years! Let's talk about speakers, interconnects, and anything else that comes up with one of the most laid back, badass drummers on the planet that just happens to work for a super cool company with kick ass speakers!

Episode 22 - Kaleidescape vs The World

Kaleidescape sure did make a splash with their Strato V player, dropping the price of entry to $3,995. Still a lot of money, but do the benefits outweigh the costs? Is doing it DIY with the likes of an R-Volution or Zidoo or similar still worth it in the end? Sit back and enjoy the discussion!

Episode 21 - UPGRADES: When & How Often?

With technology advancing so rapidly these days, when do you think it's time to maybe upgrade components? And how often from then on? We chat about that, the ridiculous price of the PS5 Pro, and I go over some things I experienced at CEDIA in Denver! Tune in and enjoy the show!

Episode 20 - AMA #2

In this episode, the audience got to ask their questions and we tried our best to answer them! Of course we went on our tangents, but that's what makes it fun, right? :) Tune in and listen to the beautiful chaos!

Episode 19 - When Is Too Much...Too Much?!

Every have a dream home theater setup in your head, then you finally reach that dream...and it turns out it's a bit much more than you bargained for? Join us as we get way off topic at times (in a good way) and talk about scenarios that might make us think it's time to scale back a bit. Plus answering your questions! Hooray!

Episode 18 - Is AI Ruining Classic Films Now?

Up until recently, the act of remastering a classic film from yesteryear meant re-scans of negatives, and painstaking removal of blemishes and dust particles, frame-by-frame. But now, with advancements in AI tech, it seems there are directors or studios out there taking shortcuts to remove those blemishes at break-neck speeds. What's happening here? We discuss this and MORE, so tune in! :)

Episode 17 - Expos & Trade Shows

CES, CEDIA, T.H.E. Show, AXPONA, etc. Have you been to any of them? Are they even worth it? Why would even want to go? Well, folks, we go over those reasons and pepper in some personal stories of our time at these types of conventions and trade shows. Check it out!

Episode 16 - Channels & More Channels! (with Special Guest Tarrus)

What would be considered overkill in a home theater when it comes to how many channels you have? What's the minimum amount that would get the best experience? We tackle these questions and much more in this week's episode, featuring our good friend Tarrus from The Fun Waste of Time Podcast! Check it out! :)
