Review: Kenwood DNX7120 Multimedia Head Unit
September 2008 From Product Reviews
There are a lot of people out there who are happy with their car but wish they might be able to do a little better on the technology side of things. An eight-year-old car with under 100,000 miles on the clock probably has a lot of life left in it, but is also probably a relic of past technologies, complete with a cassette deck or single-CD slot when you have ‘iPodified’ music. You yearn for today’s tech so you can ‘Navigethere’ while speaking legally with your ‘BlueTeeth.’ Or something like that. What you do not need is your dashboard looking like they are the

Review: B&W Zeppelin
December 2007 From Product Reviews
It’s no wonder that the high-end audio community initially dismissed the MP3 revolution since highly compressed digital music files lose resolution, definition and clarity during the ripping process. However, you can’t ignore the popularity of the iPod and the acceptance of music downloads off the Internet. So, as the saying goes ­– if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em– Bowers & Wilkins, otherwise known as B&W, has decided to go with the flow and take a look in the direction of Apple and its wunderkind – the iPod.

Auto manufacturers are coming out with more and more impressive sounding and feature-laden systems these days, and the OEMs have significantly narrowed the performance gap that the car-stereo aftermarket has long enjoyed. But the automakers still can’t match aftermarket suppliers when it comes to early adoption of new technology, features per dollar or just plain good looks and pizzazz. The most obvious example of this is the way in which the leading aftermarket car-stereo companies keep squeezing more and more features into the same-size chassis. After
