I think this may be the most useful newsletter we’ve put together yet.
Over the past month, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much our listening habits have changed — not just what equipment we use, but how we actually watch TV, stream movies, listen to music, and interact with our systems every day.
That led to our How Do You Watch TV? survey, some very revealing results about dialogue clarity and “remote riding,” and a broader look at the role HDMI now plays in modern hi-fi systems.
The October issue pulls all of those threads together.
If you have a few minutes, I’d be interested to hear what resonates with you — especially the survey results.
