We’re putting the spotlight on a turntable that hits it out of the park on multiple fronts: the Rega Planar 1 Plus. Not only is it crafted by one of the industry’s best, the Planar 1 Plus can be set up and operated by a total novice with a pair of powered speakers (thanks to its built-in phono stage), and it delivers BIG in the sound department. And if all of that’s appealing, you can get it for under 600 bucks.

We made our list - AND we checked it twice. Now, you have a chance to check out THE ultimate gifts our guys and gals hope to see under the tree this year — not to mention, get some last-minute inspiration as you wrap up your holiday shopping.

We loaded up the World Wide Stereo truck with $3,000 worth of toys as part of 92.5 XTU's 19th Annual Toy Truck Parade for charity. To say it was a tremendously successful, incredible experience wouldn't do it justice. Check out our recap and photos from the parade!

The 3000 series represents SVS' newest line of subwoofers, and we're here to say: Yes, SVS lowers the boom - and the price tag - big time. Both subs build upon the success of their 16-Ultra and 4000 series woofers, and then some - including a whopping 13" driver and the company's first-ever dual port design. Get our full take on the new series and pre-order yours today.

Everything we do, we do it for the magic of the music — and our latest event last weekend proved just how much the music really matters. Our stores were filled to capacity with people who came out to attend the best music event of the year, and we are grateful beyond words. There were incredible presentations, decadent hors d'oeuvres, and most importantly, there was music. For the complete list of songs, equipment, and photos from Music Matters, check out our recap!

On November 7th, our fearless leader, Bob Cole, was inducted into the CT Hall of Fame, joining the likes of Steve Jobs, Frank McIntosh, and Paul Klipsch. We're so proud of Bob and his achievement!

The fine folks at SVS aren’t ones to rest on their laurels, always innovating and forever pushing the envelope to give their customers the best audio experience possible. So it was no surprise when they arrived at CES earlier this year with a tasty new audio treat: Prime Wireless Speakers. The new speaker system delivers everything modern music fans want – and more – without cutting corners and forcing owners to accept the shortcomings of typical wireless speakers. And now we're thrilled to announce they're finally here and ready to ship right to your door.

The acoustic virtuosos at Focal recently launched their fourth pair of hi-res headphones with Elegia, and here’s why we’re stoked: Elegia is the first to feature a closed-back design. Now, you can enjoy the best Focal has to offer — wherever you go. Check out our review of Elegia and find out how you can get your hands on a pair.

JBL’s L100s were both the best-selling speakers of the 1970s and, thanks to the iconic Maxell ad, a rock legend equal to Les Paul’s guitars. Now after 50 years, they return as the new L100 Classics. Boasting the same good looks as their grandfathers decades ago, the new L100s have been updated to include decades of acoustic advancements, both analog and digital, by way of JBL’s award-winning audio engineers. Read on to learn more about the rebirth of this legend, and where you can find the new L100s.
