Hi,

In the podcast, there is mention of Real Time Alignment unit prices going as low as £200.
What product is that? Where can I buy it from?

Are there any courses to learn to use a RTA?

Thanks

Another good podcast guys. Thanks for the sound discussion Phil.

I certainly learned more about the calibration and equalisation side of audio - something I've not really looked into much. Unfortunately this took up the majority of your discussion, leaving the earlier start to the conversation about surround sound a little redundant.

It was interesting to hear that most of you have gone from 7.1 back to 5.1 systems mainly due to room and space conditions. I can certainly notice and enjoy my 7.1 set up more than just 5.1 but each to their own.

If you have a discussion about movies and their use of Dolby Digital, DTS, Pro-Logic II etc. and the new HD audio formats that would be great.

Thanks.

Good podcast again everyone

One thing Jason mentioned about the N95 was the fact that the maps are 'streamed' to the phone, thereby incurring data charges. That is correct, but you can download (albeit slowly) the maps if you want to save the cost as well from the smart2go website via your PC.
