Stuff to make music lovers swoon.

NAD VISO TWO DVD/CD Receiver

$1299

Need to watch DVDs and listen to CDs without hassling with a bulky amp? Then check out this compact and elegantly designed combo player and stereo receiver – with video in interlaced and progressive scan modes. Sure the setup is simple, but the results are top-notch and all the expected A/V inputs and outputs are there – like HDMI and upscaling to 1080i resolution. Even special modes like Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone.

Audio-Technica AT-LP2D-USB Turntable

$229

Get your groove on with a fully automatic turntable with some serious mojo: a balanced aluminum platter, tone arm with soft damping control and stereo cartridge with a replaceable stylus is gonna do the job. Yeh there’s a switchable phono preamp for hooking up to stereo systems, but did we mention that you can go digital as well since the USB port sends audio to a PC or Mac for making audio files like MP3s? Software’s included too.

Monster Beats by Dr. Dre

$349

Fill the Doctor’s prescription for great sound by letting these headphones deliver extreme clarity and deep bass to your ears. Extra large drivers and a digital amplifier that delivers, sure, but also canceling ambient sound to make sure you’re only hearing what you want. Even with all that, style and comfort still shows from a design featuring a wide adjustable headband and soft plush hinged ear cups. There’s even a convenient hip carrying case.

Meridian F80 Entertainment System

$3,395  

Music coming out of high-end style and Ferrari colors ain’t cheap, but how can mass production compare with the handcrafted, art deco-inspired design of this all-in-one CD/DVD player and AM/FM tuner? Compact for easy placement, sure, but plenty of stereo power for audio that doesn’t forget a subwoofer for deep bass. Or an iPod dock for adding those portable tunes.
