The screen in your home theater dazzles your eyes with vivid colors, crystal clear picture, and seamless action sequences. However, it’s the sound system that gives your experience in the cinema the depth needed to transport you to another world. You don’t truly feel like you are in another realm until you hear the realistic sounds swirl around you. This is not easily achieved though.

Only a professional audio video installer can provide the high-quality surround systems you need to achieve a truly memorable, cinematic event at home.

Collecting vinyl used to be a faithful pastime for a small group who either grew fond of the quality sound or wanted to keep ties with nostalgia from an era gone by. But today, vinyl has grown out of its niche.

These companies are producing new records of current artists like Vampire Weekend in addition to classic albums by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. So why has the LP become a preferred format to listen to, and what are the best turntables for vinyl die-hards? This blog will give you a new view of whole house audio, and after reading, you may even want to dust off some of those old records you’ve been housing in your La Jolla, CA home or start a new record collection.
