Another great product that is really making waves is the fantastic new iPod system from Arcam. The rCube is a stylish ipod dock that playsback your music files with power and precision. It will work wirelessly (with optional dongle)so that you can use your iPod or PC as a remote control. Rcube can also be used using it's rechargeable battery power so it will be a popular sight at the best barbecue parties this summer.

Finally we can't write about What Hi-Fi award winners without mentioning the fabulous
Audiolab 8200CD. This should be described as a DAC plus CD player rather than just as a conventional CD Player. Featuring the Sabre 32-bit audio DAC from ESS Technology to carry out D-to-A conversion. Equipped with plenty of digital inputs – optical, coaxial and USB, the 8200CD can be used to deliver top-quality sound from all kinds of digital sources, including audio files from computers and other media devices. The result - excellent sounding music from all sources.

The player naturally matches up perfectly with the Audiolab 8200A integrated amplifier. A powerful 60 watts per channel of dynamic quality. The 8200CD and 8200A amplifier make for a quality and classy system that will blow away anything else in its price range.

Yamaha YSP-2200 is the best compact home cinema solution

Watching a movie in surround sound is by far the best way to enjoy the latest releases from Hollywood but it can be very disruptive to the layout of your living room. 5 speakers, a subwoofer, an AV receiver and other source components take up a lot of room - not to mention the massive quantity of cables required for a 5.1 system.

Yamaha have the answer with their award winning YSP-2200 Digital Sound Projector.

Yamaha YSP-2200 is a low profile unit and will fit underneath your TV screen and has udjustable height - you can even remove the feet to make the profile even lower. It features HD Audio decoding and a superb array of inputs - so if you want great quality surround sound without the clutter - go for the excellent Yamaha YSP-2200.
