Hi-Fi Products of 2023/24 - Editor's Choice Awards
by Ed Selley
Another year of technically accomplished, beautifully engineered and cracking sounding two channel equipment is complete and it’s time to round up the kit that impressed us the most.
Thirty-five years, and five sequels and spin-offs later, and finally we have a clever, original, and truly worthy Predator follow-up, seeing this non-core Disney title land on 4K disc too.

Adam Sandler curiously nudges his recent Netflix average into more hit than miss with this charming and surprisingly insightful look at both teaching and parenting through the eyes of... a lizard.
Noah "Legion" Hawley's FX anthology series, Fargo, returns for its fifth 'instalment', introducing us to another disparate set of colourful characters and a more thoroughly classic Fargo scenario to sink your teeth into.

Everyone’s favourite slightly toxic lovable loser Scott Pilgrim is back. But here's a question: A comic, a movie, a videogame and now an Edgar Wright produced Netflix anime, haven't we seen this story before? Answer: No.
