‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor?’, the new documentary about legendary children’s show host Fred Rogers, might be one of the most acclaimed films of the year. Many of our readers likely grew up with ‘Mister...
Our friends at Denon sent me a very nice new toy to test for review: the flagship AVR-X8500H A/V receiver. Setting this thing up and putting it through its paces is going to take me a while. In the meantime, here are some photos t...
