hi-grade

Arcam Solo Mini review

Reviews Arcam aimed to harness this with its audiophile-grade rDock. The general audiophile consensus is that iPods killed the world's love for hi-fi, and that for every pitiful 128Kbps iTunes download sold, Apple kills a kitten.

Audio Technica ATH-W1000 headphones review

Reviews But if you just can't run to that cost, try the ATH-W1000s -- closed-back, reference grade cans aimed for indoor use. Like the W5000s, the W1000s are not the loudest or most sensitive reference-grade headphones we've heard, but can handle a high...

Hands-on with the Philips MCD908 home cinema micro system

Crave But for £239, it's more than acceptable and as long as you don't fork over cash expecting an audiophile-grade hi-fi, you'll probably be happy. Its MCD908 micro hi-fi is an affordable blend of DVD upscaling, DivX playback and potentially decent...

Hands-on with the Sennheiser PXC 350 headphones

Crave What the 350s lose in bonus features, they make up for with superb noise-cancellation and audiophile-grade sound quality. Listening to Dream Theater's Dark Eternal Night, with the gain-heavy hammering of twin bass drums, and the layers of complex...

Crave Talk: Hi-def TV will lose out to mobile services

Crave Now, the auction for the 3G spectrum made the government a lot of money, which was spent on dinner ladies and traffic bumps and military-grade robots and all the other great things our taxes pay for. This is annoying, because there is an ever...

Laptops for people with disabilities

Digital Living If military-grade toughness isn't a requirement, you could try an ordinary laptop with a few mods. Hi Steven, I'm a visually impaired student looking for a relatively small laptop (not too small) designed specifically for people with disabilities.

Evesham Solar Storm review

Reviews It's quicker than the Hi-Grade DMS Xtc2_02 Media Center machine, which has a slightly slower processor. This might seem like a big wodge to shell out for a PC nowadays, but you get what you pay for, including a gorgeous 20-inch widescreen monitor...

Crave Talk: When will the HD DVD vs Blu-ray madness end?

Crave I've seen one Blu-ray machine too, in the form of a Hi-Grade DMS Xtc2 media centre PC and had a look at Black Hawk Down and Talladega Nights. I have no doubt that by this time next year the skirmish between the two hi-def disc formats will be over.

PURE Digital DRX-702ES review

Panasonic SC-EN9 review

Reviews The rear of the SC-EN9 reveals its lower-grade status. Bang & Olufsen has a lot to answer for in the world of mini hi-fi. The company's famous vertical-loading CD systems and elaborate opening mechanism designs have been co-opted by the mainstream...
