Current Audio/Video & System Weapon of Choice

AIWA used to be a pretty common name among cheap stereo/boomboxes.  I had one in high school and a couple of my friends did too.  I never knew they did TVs though.  Cool.

I had some nice "Walkman" cassette players from Aiwa. Very nice.

Aiwa seemed to be an up and coming brand for awhile then kind of disappeared. The same with altec lansing.

I miss my turquoise Sony walkman. I have this shining image of it in my head, was so pretty, well, for the time at least.

I use an NEC XM29+ as my primary gaming crt.  If the gods play retro games then this is the display they would use.  For most newer stuff I use a 56" DLP tv.  For some reason the DLP doesnt seem to butcher things as badly as other LCD and plasma displays do.  I keep another 20" toshiba crt around that I bought new in 2007 or so.  I keep it since it seems like it was one of the lsst decent crts that could be bought new.  It looks almost as good as the xm29.

I mostly run composite or svideo if its natively available.  The xm29 makes even the worst composite signal look good.  Additionally the xm29 is excellent for these silly Japanese PCs like the FM Towns and x68000.  Ill post up some pics later.
