    The new Sony AV amp is so good it's, made me angry

    At the same time, Sony has, rather out of the blue, launched a "Mobile ES" range of ES components for in-car use. Most odd, and I would have thought an even smaller market (it looks really good though). I yearn for the return of ES hi-fi.

For over 9 grand, they need a better description of audio-specific custom (for what it's worth, I've seen a pic of the innards of another Melco...

    What is Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology?

    I've yet to see a satisfactory explanation for what the MLA actually does to increase light output without any change to the source level. A lens can only collimate the light or diverge it, or is the MLA simply more transmissive than the "OC" layer shown in the left diagram? Everything I've seen...
