By Janet Cloninger / September 28, 2018 / News / Security / 1 Comment

NEWS – There are a lot of fireproof safes on the market, but they are usually big, heavy, and decidedly not going to fit in your luggage. The Docfender bag will fit in your luggage, so you can easily take your valuable documents when you travel, or when you have to “bug out”, like so

Archeer Vinyl Turntable Record Player Review

By Julian Perry / September 28, 2018 / Reviews / Audio gear, Record player, turntable / 1 Comment

REVIEW – As an audiophile, I have long had a love/hate relationship with turntables because while I love the unique sound of vinyl, I hate how much it costs to buy an audiophile turntable that is built with the right technology and materials to compliment the other components of even a mid-range audiophile system. And since the

Aiwa Arc-1 Bluetooth headphones review

By Bill Henderson / September 27, 2018 / Reviews / Bluetooth headphones / 18 Comments

REVIEW – Does anyone remember Aiwa? Years ago, I installed an Aiwa car CD player in a ‘92 Acura. It was good—not great. Later, Aiwa just about disappeared after Sony bought them. Now they’re back and getting some serious (as in good) attention. First Aiwa released the Exos-9 Bluetooth speaker—a monster speaker that’s getting rave

Cascade Wallet review

By Alex Birch / September 26, 2018 / Reviews / Wallets / 4 Comments

REVIEW – If you like gadgets and mechanisms (and you likely do since you’re here), the Cascade Wallet might be something to take a closer look at. Being a daily-carry item, a good wallet is a necessity. Mani Wonders has a very technical take on what makes a good wallet. It definitely caught my attention.
