AV Rant #234: Tom Screws Up
May 26th, 2011
Tom accidentally deleted his side of the podcast so this is take 2. Liz is back and talks up the Mini Cooper. There was a tornado but that’s no reason you shouldn’t have to return your cable box. A new Nook has both Tom and Liz intrigued. Who owns your review? Are deleted files something you’d like to share? Soup to Nuts is about loudspeaker design.

Speaker Truths:
- Designers use the materials and designs they are familiar with
- Materials have specific issues but any material can make a good speaker
- Two main speaker designs – ported and sealed – again, either can make a good speaker
- Don’t be tricked into thinking a speaker with more/different drivers is inheriently better. It’s all about the design
- Listen for yourself – preferably in your room

@Liz a nook/kindle won’t replace MY iPad. Since i mostly use a tablet for games and videos…not really kindle territory.
So the plan was originally to get a Android tablet like the xoom or something similar, but they cost nearly what an iPad would cost. Eh…
So the other plan is to buy a 13″ MacBook Pro w/ an SSD drive.
Thoughts?
Bought a Kindle last summer. I loved it and read more books than I had in years. Battery life was great and display very easy to read.
Once I got an iPad, I stopped reading books and never pick up the Kindle. Just downloaded Bob Moore to the Kindle and plan to read it on there.
