Take 2 of this week’s podcast. No video this week. Wanna be on the show? You might get your chance sooner than you think. Tom has computer problems and it is all Dina’s fault. A bit on Shifty Schifter. Doug has a theory on speaker break-in. Eric thinks Tom should reconsider. Alan agrees. Justin, Henry, John, and Lance – you all got airtime in version 1 but missed the cut in version 2. Look for a response when Tom gets his email back (for those he hasn’t responded to yet). Herb’s mics are WAY more affordable than Tom had assumed. Tom is waiting by the mailbox for his new headphones. Tom’s going to try and stop by AXPONA on Saturday. Leave a message at the Rant Line if you are going to be there and want to meet up. Thanks for listening and don’t forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley.

Because of a technical malfunction with the Tom and Dina podcast, we’re coming to you today with an interview with Dave Bales of Pioneer Electronics. They are releasing their new line of Pioneer branded AV receivers and want to get the word out. The VSX-520-K and 820-K you already know about. The new ones (just announced today) are the 920, 1020, and 1120-K. These receivers offer unparalleled features for their price point. What can you look forward to? How about HDMI 1.4 and Dolby ProLogic IIz in their entry level VSX-520-K receiver at a $229 price point! As the price goes up you get 1080p upconversion, iPhone/iPod Touch control apps, and a host of other features. Once again bringing you the latest and greatest, this is an AV Rant episode that you’ll not want to miss. For those looking for their weekly fix of Dina, we’ll be recording “Take 2” of this week’s podcast on Friday. Look for it late Friday night or Saturday afternoon.

Welcome to the third installment of AV After Dark. Tom had childcare issues this week so we have this for you instead of a normal Tom/Dina offering. This time they guys discuss the Olympics and how it differs from market to market. What sport are Ara and Tom fans of? You’ll never guess (or maybe you will). Is there a future for OLED? What is Hulu doing right, what are they doing wrong? What about Netflix? They guys weigh in. Panasonic black levels are addressed as are recommendations for displays. Ara went to Mecca… we mean Macworld. Thanks for listening. You can find the HT Guys at their website and AV Rant right here. We really enjoy these collaborations and hope you do too. Thanks to listener Ted for both the Intro and Outro music. Check out more of his work at www.thesysmusic.com. To see our (mostly) complete collection of show videos, click here.
