Ever seen a photo of Ronnie Rotel or Dick Denon? Unlike huge faceless corporations, Sunfire is the unique, personal vision of one audio genius, Bob Carver. Most audio geniuses would be content to have founded just two landmark audio companies. But after creating Phase Linear and Carver Corporation, Bob still had more innovative technology in his system. He wanted to express these ideas in meticulously-built, premium audio products that would offer exceptional value and sound quality. And that�s what you get when you buy Sunfire. A great product from the mind and soul of Bob Carver. http://www.avrev.com/splashpage/sunfire.html HD Radio is coming your way HD Radio is a new technology for broadcasting digital terrestrial radio that can deliver CD quality sound on FM and FM quality sound on AM, multiple programs on a single frequency and text.

Why? At that hour, the local power utility is delivering its cleanest, most accurate power. At midnight, the current flows and system dynamics can be reached that at other hours of the day are impossible. Until now. PurePower is the first and only power conditioner in the world that takes the inbound AC power from the utility, converts it to DC, then back to perfect voltage sinewave with no noise, distortion, spikes, or sags, even if the inbound voltage is ZERO. Its built-in batteries protect and isolate your system from the local utility in a way that no other conditioner can, giving you that �midnight� sound quality every time you listen, regardless of the time of day.

Garbage�s latest release, Bleed Like Me, is a particularly strong offering, combining that distinctive Garbage sound with a still often irreverent attitude and a more mature, moody aspect.
