Numark PT01USB Turntable Order Now
This is my second posting of this review. I believe Amazon deleted my first review for reasons beyond me. However, I bought the PT-01 usb to archive my vast vinyl collection. It worked great at first, but then the pitch began to fluctuate, which is very noticeable when sustained chords are played in a song. This is also disastrous for any djs archiving their vinyl, because the bpm's must stay constant for mixing. I took my unit in for repair and they replaced the belt drive. It worked great after that....for about two months and then the same thing happened. It appears that the belts being supplied for these turntables are of inferior quality and wear with age. Unacceptable. The other features on this unit are useless. I don't really see a need for a built-in speaker, nor battery-powered capabilities. I don't imagine anyone will be taking these to the beach. That said, save your money until a better usb turntable comes out on the market.Get more detail about Numark PT01USB Turntable.
Terk XMICRO2 Single Output High Performance Roof Mount XM Antenna Decide Now
I ordered this antenna to the replace the existing dinosaur that broke (probably from 2 many car washes) Antenna is discreet but wish it was paintable to match my car. Upon install, adapter broke but seller to it back without question. I purchased the same exact antenna at Best Buy but for more $$. One can only go so long without Satellite. I would of given the product 5 stars but it was defective. However; the Seller gets 5 stars for quick delivery and no questions asked return policy.Get more detail about Terk XMICRO2 Single Output High Performance Roof Mount XM Antenna.
Bose Wave Music System - Platinum White Right now
First I purchased a rebuilt Bose with the add-on CD unit. It worked very good for a few weeks till I decided to leave it on (for background music for my cats) while going to the next town. After about 3 hours on my return it could not be controlled with any of the 2 remotes. Sent it in for repair. With some delay Bose sent me a new one. Now about 1 year later the New unit is just a digital clock. It will not work with any of the now three remotes and without an on/off switch this second unit is use less.
I'm not sure if I'll send it in for repair( is this going to be a yearly repair) or cut my losses and buy something else.
I suggest before buying these Bose Wave units you look very hard for something else, besides the sound is really NOT that great.Get more detail about Bose Wave Music System - Platinum White.

Lowest Price Denon AVR2310CI 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver with 1080p HDMI Connectivity
I chose the Denon 2310ci for several reasons. One is prior experience with my Denon 1903. Denon makes some very powerful and reliable products. The 2310ci has lots of features and plenty of power. The advantages of the Audyssey setup cannot be overstated. This is not a simple graphic equalizer. The resulting sound quality is impressive. I'm driving a set of Definitive Technology Mythos series of speakers and the realism and soundstage size is breathtaking. This receiver has almost every feature you could want and enough juice to power almost any speakers.
As to video, I use the receiver to feed my 60" Pioneer Kuro 141FD plasma via HDMI and the PQ is perfect. Switching inputs is fast.
This is one of the best values in receivers in today's marketplace, IMO, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.Get more detail about Denon AVR2310CI 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver with 1080p HDMI Connectivity.
Low Price Klipsch Quintet SL Home Theater System (Set of Five, Black)
This set of speakers are amazing. By far the best
Speakers I've heard. Very easy set-up. I went with
10 guage wire for three front speakers. 16 guage
For my surround sound speakers.
The only issue I have is there are 3 Allen screws
On the surround speakers which you need to
Loosen and put your speaker in desired location or
Any angle desired. I tightned them to the spot I wanted
But they slowly go to the downward position.I might
Add I contacted klipsch they were very helpful and
Would take care of my problem, alot better than other customer
Service departments. Other wise this product would be 5 stars in all areas.Get more detail about Klipsch Quintet SL Home Theater System (Set of Five, Black).
Save Delphi Roady XT Home Kit ( SA10176 )
This kit is perfect for what I needed. Had the radio in the truck but on leaving the vehicle I wanted to keep listening. The home kit was perfect. Only one drawback make sure you have a clear unobstructed view of the South sky in North America. Highly recommended, loved the remote for touch free operation. Antenna cord was just long enough to reach from my desk to a south facing window in my boss' office. About 30 feet.Get more detail about Delphi Roady XT Home Kit ( SA10176 ).

Cheapest Onkyo HT-S9100THX 7.1 Channel Receiver and Speaker Package
I've had this for about a year now and it is working flawlessly. Lots of good reviews here read them all. I'll simply repeat to emphasize a few details. Best HTIB on the market period. Automatic speaker calibration with included microphone. Fantastic sound.
Yes speakers are big and heavy. Which I believe goes hand in hand with fantastic sound. The Bose acoustimass cube speakers sound amazing for no bigger than they are but are not fantastic sounding through out the tonal range. They simply do not have the audio range and punch on the mid to lower end due to their small size. I mention this because I believe people incorrectly extrapolate amazing performance with small size because of the cubes into truly fantastic sound of a full sized speaker. Don't confuse amazing with fantastic. For fantastic tonal range and punch you need driver surface area, proper enclosure materials, and proper enclosure size for tonal resonance. I also have omnisats and nansats from Mirage. Amazing speakers but the omnis being larger have better tonal range than the nanos. Great speakers but not for surround imaging, they're for a totally different application. And yes there are better sounding separate speakers like yamaha studios (not sure they even make these anymore), but this is an HTIB. And for that these speakers are the best sounding of the HTIBs. Included speaker wire is a joke. No need to run double ought, 12-14 gauge suffices depending on length. No network update or streaming ability like the 5.1 LG LHB953 but sounds infinitely better. 5 stars would be perfect. I take off one star for those deficiencies, other than that, not much to complain about.
Unit produces a lot of heat, primarily from the power supply side, which is typical for a full power receiver. On first power-on a year ago, I had this in a console with open front and back and with 8 inches of clearance to top and 6 inches on the sides but it was not enough. During the course of a movie the rear surrounds started distorting. I Immediately shut the unit down, noticed the heat, let it cool off and positioned it on a free standing table so it was not confined in any way and has worked flawlessly ever since. which speaks volumes for the final circuit design. I was afraid I had blown the finals but not the case. Don't run this without proper ventilation. You may think there is enough air flow but trust me there isn't. Did I mention it produces a LOT of heat? LOLGet more detail about Onkyo HT-S9100THX 7.1 Channel Receiver and Speaker Package.

Cheap Delphi XM Signal Repeater
This device solved my problem of no office reception due to double-thick glass. I installed the transmitter in a dry location outside the building approx. 75 ft. from my office window. My reception is acceptable (it would be perfect @ 50 ft. or less...).
I recommend this product to everyone.Get more detail about Delphi XM Signal Repeater.
Buying Coby Compact Folding Portable Stereo Speaker System for iPod and MP3 Players (White)
I bought this because I wanted a portable way (no plugs) to listen to my iPod during a trip with my family this past spring. For the price, this product served its purpose well, and was far more reliable than the car adapter that I paid a lot more money for. Granted, the speaker sound isn't the highest quality, but for the price, it sounds very good.
I give this product a five star rating because it is VERY good at doing what it was designed for: providing a highly portable, budget-friendly system to play an iPod. I also wish I could give it a higher than 5 star rating, because it has been a godsend over the past month while my daughter has been hospitalized.
My daughter was intubated (due to tumor compression of her airway), and later placed on a tracheostomy and ventilator. Throughout our stay at the hospital, we have been using our Colby speakers and iPod, creating a more soothing, homelike atmosphere with music. During this month of 16 hour plus daily use, we have only had to change the batteries on these speakers ONCE (It takes four AA batteries, which makes battery changes easy, when they do need to be changed)
Nurses, respiratory therapists, and doctors have all commented about how relaxing our room feels, because of the music we are able to play.
The speakers are very simple. There is a nesting spot for the iPod, but it plays using a chord connection, just like how you would connect regular headphones to an iPod. It is one of the best purchases I have made.Get more detail about Coby Compact Folding Portable Stereo Speaker System for iPod and MP3 Players (White).

Order Sony CDPCX355 300-Disc MegaStorage CD Changer
This Sony is a great player with high capacity. Why store your 300 CDs when they will fit into the player for playing at will.
The software allows you to sort your music by any number of your chosen ways, no matter where in the carousel a CD is located. We love the other features like random play. This feature plays songs randomly and you never know what the next tune will be.
The remote works well and allows couch access to all the controls that are on the front of the unit.
And the Sony was a bargain in my opinion.Get more detail about Sony CDPCX355 300-Disc MegaStorage CD Changer.

Shop For GPX KC218S Under Cabinet CD Player with AM/FM Stereo Radio and Digital Readout (Silver)
I am very pleased with my Sony under-the-counter radio. It has a very rich sound and is user friendly. It is very convenient to have presets and though I don't use the remote a lot, it comes in handy at times. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend this product. There is one thing that I did not expect, however. The radio that I replaced the Sony with was 20-25 years old and for years I listened to a Rochester station, about 70 miles from my home,which I believe is a high Watt station. Now, there are times during the day where there is extreme interference, while at other times, I can listen to it,despite some static. The Sony is in the same location as my first radio was and nothing has changed in my kitchen. Despite the fact, that there is a problem with distance, the pros outweigh the cons and I am happy that I made the selection that I did.

Audiovox CNP2000H XM Radio Mini Tuner Home Dock with Antenna Review
I recently purchased a new pioneer receiver that has the built in capability to work with the mini tuner. It is quite a bit easier to use than the separate tuner I had previously. Good product and integration with the new receiver. I only had one issue with the purchase in that I did not realize the tuner card had to be purchased separately. I thought it was part of the radio dock. The description could have been clearer. Get more detail about Audiovox CNP2000H XM Radio Mini Tuner Home Dock with Antenna.
Polk Audio CS10 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black) Top Quality
In case you're like me... I didn't realize how big this speaker is. It's bigger than my dvr and dvd stacked together. Now as for the sound quality... I love the sound it puts out. I have some older Polk Audio Speakers and with the center channel addition, it sounds great. For the record, I'm an average music listener. I couldn't begin to tell you specs on what I'm hearing. I can just say... I like it.Get more detail about Polk Audio CS10 Center Channel Speaker (Single, Black).

Philips AmbiSound Home Theater Sound Bar with Integrated 1080p-Upscaling DVD/MP3 Player, HTS8100/37 This instant
I bought this sound bar to replace a 5 year old home theater system and dvd player. I wanted to get rid of the tangle of wires and cords and improve the dvd player (formerly only 480p). I was willing to lose the "surround sound 6.1" capabilities because my new house does not lend itself currently to descretely wiring all the speakers. The sound from this bar is more than an adequate replacement. Though the sound lacks a little in depth and the surround capabilities are somewhat exaggerated, this sound bar/dvd player combination is well worth the money. No wires everywhere, a clean, good looking package that really improves on the sound of your plasma/lcd/led tv. The subwoofer is huge and does add the requisite rumble but to make the package better, it should be wireless (Why get rid of all cords except the biggest one?) The dvd player work perfectly and the remote is both good looking an very functional. Everyone who can't turn the unit on with the remote hasn't read the directions. Just push the TV button and the unit turns on to the TV source - pretty intuitive. My only true issue with this unit is the often referenced inability to use a single remote for the TV, cable box and HT system. Why Philips does not issue a remote code that can be used with the Cable Box universal remote is beyond me, but for $300 for the complete package, I can overlook this.
Bottom line - If you want very good sound and don't require true hi power surround sound, get this product. You, and all who watch with you, will be impressed. Get more detail about Philips AmbiSound Home Theater Sound Bar with Integrated 1080p-Upscaling DVD/MP3 Player, HTS8100/37.
ION Audio iPTUSB Portable USB Turntable with Software and Built-in Speaker Immediately
Fluttery uneven speed is a fatal flaw.
If you listen to music without any perfectly "constant tones", like rap (with no melody), there's nothing wrong with this turntable.
Otherwise, especially when you hear a piano or an orchestra, I'm annoyed by the flutter in the speed - a rapid repeating speedup-and-slowdown, real fast, maybe 10 times a second, that makes the music "flutter", like when you talk to yourself in front of the spinning blades of a fan. Subtle, but it's DEFINITELY there, and very annoying.
I get around this problem by putting a MASSIVE thick 12-inch clay Victrola record from the 1920's on the turntable, underneath the record I'm playing. That acts as a "flywheel" to add weight and mass to the turntable, and even out the speed, eliminating the flutter. You can stack a couple heavier-weight LPs under your record. (Or, if you're using this to play Victrola records - problem solved right there.)
Then the turntable sounds OK.
But when I turn up the volume, on the loud parts, the amp tries to drive itself harder than it's capable of, and "sucks power" away from the turntable motor, and the speed slows down in the loud parts of the music. That REALLY SUCKS when the orchestra swells then the pitch goes flat.
So, if you DON'T PLAY IT LOUD (connect it to an external amp if you want it loud, don't try to use the internal speaker), and you PUT A COUPLE HEAVY RECORDS ON THE TURNTABLE underneath the one you're playing to even out the flutter, it's fine.

Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable Best Quality
I must be one of the very lucky of the 200 or so people to purchase, and comment about this turntable here on Amazon and not have any issues with it. I have the AT-PL120 connected to the TV inputs of a Sony STR-DH700 and it outputs warm and wonderful analog like no other turntable I've owned, and I've owned a few in my 41 years of existence. I also own a Stanton T.90 USB turntable, and the AT-PL120 sounds much better and they both have the same cartridge installed, a Ortofon Concorde Gold @ 1.5g. Maybe the Audio-Technica quality control people have hit and miss days at the factory.
Now I do not claim to be some audiophile aficionado, rather I am a common vinyl record collector and lover (on a modest budget) since the age of 3 years old when my mom was nice enough to shower me with a record player and records. I've been hooked since then and never gave up collecting even during the rise and fall of cassettes, CD's, Mini Discs. SACD's, and DVD-Audio. Records just have that special something I can't stop loving.
Anyway if you are looking for a budget turntable that gets the job done of playing your LP's with fantastic results, do not hesitate to make this your next purchase. I am not sorry I did and, neither will you.Get more detail about Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable.

Good value, with sound quality you expect from HK. Only wish that it's decoder handled some of the newer formats such as dolby HD and others.

Sony TCWE475 Dual Cassette Player / Recorder Decide Now
My Mom Luzetta is 85 years old. She has many favorite cassettes saved over many years. Her cassette player died several years ago. The rest of her component system was just perfect and she had mastered running it. So buying an entire new system was not an option. A very kind Radio Shack associate had nothing for us either. However, he jumped on his store computer, went to Amazon and bingo there was your player. With further help from the Radio Shack clerk, we hooked it up and she is back in business.
The player is great!!! Solved all the problems for Mom.
A happy story also of retailer helping retailer that benefited the customer. Thank you Amazon and Radio Shack. Get more detail about Sony TCWE475 Dual Cassette Player / Recorder.
Sony Home Theater System - Silver/ Black (DAVHDZ273) Right now
After researching for months, I (31 yr old guy who likes technology) bought this system ($210.79 out the door) using site to store. It arrived early and in perfect condition. This is my first real (5.1) home theatre system and I have to say I am very pleased after only a few days.
The system is hooked up to a 40" Samsung LCD TV. Set up (which is conveniently run through the TV) was a cinch including running surround cables under the baseboard around the room. The two surround wires are about 33' long and easily made it around my average-sized living room. My previous upconverting DVD player (Phillips) doesn't even touch the quality of this one, although the PS3 is still the way to go if you want the best picture quality. If you told me I was watching a Blue Ray, I probably wouldn't argue unless of course they were side by side. It has really nice darks and lights and very sharp lines (especially after the comparison to the old DVD player). The DVD player itself is a little deeper than anticipated (17"W x 14.5"D x 2.5"H). Don't forget to allow extra room for wires in back. I actually had to carve out the particle board backing to the bottom of the TV stand. Luckily my wife and I are purchasing a real TV stand very soon.
As far as sound goes, I have nothing to really compare to coming from an old two-speaker system. The auto calibration seemed to do the trick for now. I tested (and cranked up) a scene at the end of "The Rock" that has a mix of voice, deep lows, and crisp highs and the system performed flawlessly. It was cool to hear bullets bounce of the walls to my left and right. The bass is not overpowering, but certainly possesses some kick and settings can be changed to suit. The two front and two rear speakers are all identical. The subwoofer measures 8W" x 12.5D" x 12.75H".
Unfortunately, I think some companies adjust their prices according to review ratings, but I couldn't resist giving it 5 stars. I highly recommended this system for the price and quality unless you are a home theatre guru or something and need a million dollar system.
