To Dads, From Dads: 9 Gifts You Need on Your Father's Day Wish List

Samsung's Frame TV now has QLED technology and the picture is spectacular! The ART mode is wonderful and will easily transform a TV into a beautiful piece of artwork that you can update through the Samsung Art Store (or your own collection). It's a TV when it's on and artwork when it's off. It even has a proximity sensor that will automatically turn on the artwork display when anyone gets close to it and the included no gap wall mount tilts to replicate the way artwork hangs on a wall. For the studio look you can also purchase the optional studio easel stand and it works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Airplay 2." - Ron Rumer, Vice President, Sales

The Kenwood DDX9906XR is arguably one of the best sounding touchscreens in existence (and I love my music sounding good!). And, it's Android ready. I simply plug in my Pixel Smartphone and Android Auto launches on the Kenwood's touchscreen. From there, I control everything from my incoming and outgoing calls and texts, manage music playlists in apps like Tidal, Google Play Music, Pandora, etc., and pop open Waze or Google Maps to get me to my destination. I feel like I should mention that the DDX9906XR does have Apple CarPlay built into it too, so iPhone users can use many of the same apps on their journeys. All in all, it's a really neat unit and offers a TON of features besides the ones I mentioned." - Chris Mulhearn, Car & Marine Sales & System Designer

So your husband has been talking about getting back into vinyl but how far is he really going to take this journey back into time? You don’t want to disappoint by being too thrifty on a player that does a better job scratching the vinyl than actually playing it, and you don’t want to invest your entire savings into something he might just use every once in awhile. The U-Turn Orbit special completely fits the bill by checking all the boxes of higher end turntables without breaking the bank. A decoupled motor, an Ortofon Red cartridge, and a retro style tone arm that floats on top of a clear platter to expose the entire real walnut plinth! This is a serious turntable for under $500." - Chad Snedaker, Sales & System Designer

I can't say enough great things about Integra's DRX 3.2 9.2 Channel Network AV receiver and, at $699, the DRX 3.2 is a crazy good value. You get built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. All of the HDMI ports are 4K HDCP2.2 ready. There are 9 channels of discrete amplification, so you can have a 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos home theater setup. And if you're a Sonos guy, the DRX 3.2 has been certified by Sonos to seamlessly connect with their products — which means you can stream music from the Sonos app directly to the receiver and enjoy music anywhere. Personally, I love this receiver because I can easily listen to my Pandora stations while watching the Phillies on my TV." - Mario Patelmo, Sales & System Designer

Go with a gift you really don't need, but would really freaking love... like the McIntosh MA252 tube integrated amplifier and Focal Sopra floorstanding speakers. They will look beautiful on display, and deliver a music experience akin to a live concert day after day — and you won't have to step out the door. Just add a high resolution streamer, and you can listen to any song ever created." - Bob Cole, CEO & Founder
