yep , pioneer are a brilliant company , they make superb stuff the japanese bang & olufsen ? my brother has an 8 track pro machine from 1975 in his bedroom that still works - he's a mad elton john fan ( and there's loads of weird old 8 tracks by him ) and it is amazingly well built i reckon we could use it as a foundation for a house it's

they've all probably seen the writing on the digital wall with OLED from what i've gleaned it will revolutionise the industry amazing contrast , very low power useage , 1mm thin screens , flexible screens , wraparound screens , cheap to make , massive screen sizes bno will have a field day with that methinx !!!
