With mass manufacturing and thousands of products being pumped out every day it can sometimes be difficult to find truly quality products. The demands for new products and gizmo’s are so high that it can be difficult for the few manufacturers that want to make quality products to stand out from the crowed. Kanot AV Systems is one such company and as a journalist I believe it is our duty on sits like this to give quality products a voicing platform. Normally I like to write my intros under the assumption that I have not already tested the products but in this case I have and the theme will be set from the beginning; we love quality products and the Kanto iPort 5 (Syd 5)is no exception. Let’s get into the review and get a better look at this product:
