Serious Sirius

Kenwood is serious about Sirius Satellite Radio introducing its first dedicated home digital satellite receiver for the audiophile set. Its model DT-7000S has a high tech design that connects to any home audio receiver or pre-amp via its gold-plated RCA jacks or digital optical outputs. It also has a RS-232C port for more advanced systems.

Sirius hires music lovers not preprogrammed talking heads to host its 60 all –digital, commercial free music streams (plus 40 news, talk and entertainment channels). From jam bands to blues and country to in-studio performances by up and coming artists, Sirius is a clear choice over corporate Clear Channel dominated commercial radio. Here’s hoping more folks will fork over the $12.95 a month to listen to it. $300. www.kenwood.com
