Cables To Go TrueLink WirelessHD Kit Preview [0.21] by tom,May 09, 2010 18:00

The Cables To Go TrueLink WirelessHD kit is plug and play with no setup or software required. It is HDMI 1.3 compatible and supports true 1080p video and 7.1 audio. There are power buttons on both the transmitter and the receiver so that if you decide to conserve power you can. There is an auto power function that automatically turns off the attached component when the transmitter is turned off. On each device there is a single HDMI connection. While we wish there would be more, it seems to be the standard with this first generation devices. In the box you get not only the receiver and transmitter but also a pair of 1.2 meter HDMI cables, a remote, and a wall bracket for the receiver. While $500 may give some sticker shock, it is actually pretty competitive in this market for this type of solution.

My first display review was a plasma and I’ve long held that I prefer plasmas to LCDs (in general). It’s easy to make such generalizations when you’ve reviewed 3-1 plasma v. LCD. Pioneer has had a reputation for putting out quality displays and I’ve never had the pleasure of reviewing one. It wasn’t hard for me to get excited about a Pioneer review much less a Pioneer plasma review - even if it was "only" a 720p display.

Rotel RSX-1560 Surround Sound Receiver Preview [0.21] by tom,February 01, 2010 02:00

The Rotel RSX-1560, with class D amps, 4 HDMI inputs, and dual sub AND center channel outs certainly has a lot of bells and whistles for a more esoteric brand.

Compared to many other esoteric offerings, the RSX-1560 positively overflows with features. The question that needs to be answered is whether or not the RSX-1560 does what you need.
