Spur of the moment – New TV!

Well chalk this down to impulse! Tuesday night saw me and my colleagues at the Bose Summer Launch here in Perth. One thing that struck me this year at the event was that Bose were using Pioneer Kuro plasmas. Very nice Bose! Of course all us industry folk (and quite a lot of you owners) know that these are without a doubt the best flat screen displays ever made, but sadly Pioneer ceased production early 2009 due to the high production costs. Anyways, Im in the market for a new TV, and having been inspired by what I had seen the night before (an audio demo featuring a scene from The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray) I decided on a whim to have a look at the Pioneer Clearance Centre website. Lo and behold, they had three 50″ Kuros (Brand New) for sale, at a substantially discounted price. Now I don’t really want a 50″ for the living room, but this was too good to pass up.
Today I’m the proud owner of a 50″ Pioneer C509 Kuro Plasma! Pics to come next week when the beast is delivered.

New Headphones

Well it’s been a while since I added anything new to the systems, but finally I succumbed! Ever since my Sennheiser PX100s packed in while on vacation in Europe, I’ve been on the lookout for (improved) replacements. Candidates have come and gone (Bose and AKG to name a few) but I’ve finally settled on the Grado SR80i. Fantastic open-style headphones with amazing transparency. Anybody chasing a pair of these (or their smaller brother, the SR60i) should contact Audiophile in Melbourne.
