Seeing it is 14 years old it's exciting to see if it still holds up or if it has become outdated. I haven't received it yet, so...

    Review of Ultra + MFC to the AX8 Transition

    So, I've now had the AX8 for about 60 days now. The best way I can describe moving from the Ultra (which I absolutely loved) to the AX8, is like this: Imagine watching TV on an old tube TV from 1984, and then bypassing SD, HD, and skipping to 4K HD. The resolution and clarity in the sound &...
