My very first accessories post was about the S&G wire stripper . I've decided to retroactively make it the start of a series. With “Installer’s Toolbox” I’ll talk about the accessories that help us all with car stereo system installation. I already...

It's been a little over two months since I started this series on the Wii Fit . Now I'd like to finish up with a look at the aerobics and balance games. I've grouped them both together because there are fewer exercises in these two categories than in...

I love trying out the gear we carry here at Crutchfield. What a perk to get to take home a top-notch speaker system and set it up alongside my beat-up couch and the hand-me-down end tables I've had since college. I grew up with four brothers, and I have...

I lose things. A lot. I have elaborate rituals to help me keep up with my employee ID, my keys, and the fact that I've held onto my most recent pair of glasses for 4 months is a major victory. Most mornings, the only way I can find my cell phone is by...

Boy, do I get tired of getting tangled up in the wire that connects my MP3 player to my headphones. I have a cordless phone, cordless drill, cordless vacuum, wireless camcorder, and wireless Internet. So stepping up to wireless music seemed like something...

It's Over I'm in mourning. After a year and a half of almost continual use, an earsleeve post broke off my beloved Shure E3C portable earphones, and there's no way to fix it. Oh, I can still hear through them (kinda) but it's just no good any more. I...

If you're like me, then chances are you've got more than a few electronics lying around at home. I've got my cell phone, my digital camera, and usually a camcorder or two that I'm trying out for work — and if you double that by all the devices that my...

Your new digital camera probably has you taking more pictures than ever before. The instant results are great — but the pictures pile up quickly, clogging your hard drive. And it's not easy to find that great picture you took last month at the family...

I like radio. A lot. But over the years I've increasingly disliked the limited choices available on the AM/FM dial here in rural Virginia. So I was extremely happy to check out the new Grace Wireless Internet Radio . Crutchfield carries a variety of these...

Before I started working at Crutchfield, I associated car subwoofers with punk kids that roll up on you at traffic lights, sporting that low-frequency rattle that reminds you of the Space Shuttle taking off. But after a tall glass of Crutchfield Kool-Aid...

I was over at Steve’s place the other day and sweet smokin’ sassafras, his system was sounding better than ever! As you may or may not know, Steve is Crutchfield’s long-time TV guru/writer. More importantly, he's also an audiophile and a music lover (as...

Gain, Level, Volume...aren't they the same thing? Everybody knows a volume control makes your music louder (or quieter), so why do there seem to be so many different ways to describe it? If you're used to dubbing, or if making mixtape cassettes was your...

OK, I admit I’m something of a gadget geek. But when I go on a business trip, there are just some things I gotta have on my journey. Like my laptop, and cell phone, and digital camera, and iPod, and portable speakers. I’ve been in too many hotel rooms...

I just flashed back to my first record player. It played 45s, and when it skipped, I put a penny on the arm. Remember doing that? A handle on the side let me carry it around the house to play songs for my brothers — moving music the old-fashioned way....

I really hate not having a battery when I need it. When I'm battery-less, sometimes I have to forego winning my latest Wii® game, or I fumble around in the dark with a dead flashlight, or I even, gasp, get up and change the channel on my satellite box...

If you're like most people, when you hear the word "gain," what probably comes to mind is something along the lines of, "to get more, or increase in amount, magnitude, or degree." For a very old word, the definition of gain hasn't changed much throughout...
