of products that includes the Roksan surround-sound processor and five-channel amp. Each
piece retails for about $2000.
SimAudio has released their new $5000 Attraction surround-sound processor as part of their
Moon series of electronics. All functions available are on the supplied remote control.
Synergy cables come from Synergistic Research, a company well known to audiophiles.

which can be terminated in the field without solder.
For budget enthusiasts, the $1100 Dimension home-theater system from Audio Specialiste

No one, and I do mean no one, at Toshiba seemed to know the price of these speakers that
they offer. However, it was generally accepted that these were aimed at budget
audiophiles. The series features Lineaum tweeters, a high-end design that also trickled
into some Radio Shack speakers released a few years ago.
Pioneer claims this to be the thinnest portable DVD player on the market. Priced at $1299,
the PDV-LC10 includes S-Video and composite inputs and outputs.
