Arrow AVRant #9: Best Buy Part 1
Dina continues her undercover operation uncovering just the type of BS your big box stores are feeding people. This time, it's Best Buy. We were shocked to learn some of the things that pass for knowledge in that store. Of course, just because someone works there for more than 6 years doesn't mean they actually know anything. Tom reveals that the end to the DE-non/de-NON debate is nigh and the official AVRant Podcasting room is unveiled. There's so much here that it couldn't be contained in just one episode. See you next week!


Discuss "AVRant #9: Best Buy Part 1" here. Listen to the Podcast.

I love these things. I was never a podcast person before but they get me through the day at work and I actually do work! Its amazing, I can't get enough of them. I do enjoy them way more than other podcasts too as I started looking after I finished all the Rants quickly at work. If anyone has any suggestions on others they should PM me technical or not .

Keep up the great work Tom and Dina, thanks!

Fantastic podcast.

Dina is going to start a trend with these evaluations of Best Buy and Circuit City.

Heh, I recently had a circuit city guy tell me that firedog could tune my audio setup to sound as good as a harkins theater.

Onkyo TX-SR605 - $299

All I need now is a subwoofer to finish it off. Trying to find a sub that has good deep bass that you can feel more than hear for under $300 (including shipping.)

Apples and oranges, Tsunami - we don't write about (necessarily) what the podcasts talk about. These podcasts are a LOT more free and edgy than we can be in print. They are beholden only to common decency and if you listen you'll likely gain some serious insights into the industry through Tom's (in particular) commentary.

We at Audioholics live vicariously through AVRant podcasts... lol.

PLUS - with ADD, or ADHD, you are better off listening than reading anyway. Tom, Dina and J are much easier to pay attention to than the written word...
