Best known for its no-compromise projectors, <A HREF="http://www.dwin.com">DWIN Electronics</A> isn't ignoring the market for high-definition plasma display panels (PDPs).

Last week, Primedia announced the next in a series of editorial upgrades to its Home Technology & Photography specialty group. The group is redesigning its <I>Stereophile Guide to Home Theater</I> magazine to become <I>Stereophile Ultimate AV</I> (new URL: <A HREF="http://www.ultimateavmag.com">www.ultimateavmag.com</A>) starting with the June issue. Hitting newsstands May 11, the redesigned magazine will feature 16 pages of new and expanded editorial content for high-end audio/video enthusiasts, more advertisers, and an enhanced consumer-friendly design.

Steven Stone reviews the <A HREF="/accessories/604camelot">Camelot Technology Dragon 5.1 Plus DVD/CD jitter-reduction device</A>, explaining that "it promises to do for DVD players what the Audio Alchemy box did for CD players: make them sound a lot better."

Fred Manteghian writes up the <A HREF="/surroundsoundpreampprocessors/304aragon">Aragon Stage One preamplifier-processor and 3005 5-channel amplifer</A> after wiring both into his main system. "Their combined price of $7500 is definitely beyond the high-end receiver market, but these components are designed for maximum multichannel and stereo enjoyment," writes FM.
