Tom finally reviews the Oppo PM-3 headphones comparing them the Oppo PM-2s, the V-Moda Crossfade M-100s, and the Alpine Headphones. This week we thank Scott, Steven, and Jose for their donations and John for his support. In the news, Ultra HD, Pioneer gets HDMI 2.0, Oculus Rift, and a use for 4k and curved screens. James has some tagline suggestions (see our Facebook page for specifics), Richard wants to know our thoughts on compression tweeters/drivers and JTR speakers (LINK), and Robert thinks that movies mixed for 7.1 sound better than those mixed for 5.1. Caesar has some questions about HDR (High Dynamic Range) and HDMI 2.0a (LINK), Jeb isn’t convinced we’re right about how to handle dual subs in oddly-shaped rooms, and Scott wants to buy a receiver. Tim’s planned home theater has changed and he wants to know if our suggestions have as well, Mike is having an odd subwoofer problem, and Jonathan found a turntable that uses frickin’ lasers instead of a needle (LINK and LINK). Dev is having a weird problem with his Dayton Sub-1200 (LINK), Bill is wondering what distortion sounds like (particularly harmonic distortion), and Ian is having dialog intelligibility problems. Lastly, Rob (a different Rob) is purchasing a home and needs help planning his home theater. Thanks for listening. Now, don't forget to:
