Audio Reviews

I have owned this cassette deck for over 4 years now, and it hasn't screwed up or let me down once. The recordings are phenomenal, as I have a whole Denon system and it works out beautifully. The only star detraction comes from the lack of conviences on the remote control.

I previously owned a Yamaha cassette deck before purchasing the DRW -55 from Denon. I have made dozens of tapes for my friends and they all are amazed. I bought my deck at Audio Dimensions in Norman, Oklahoma about four years ago. The Denon deck has performed flawlessly. I have recorded tapes from Lp and CD and other sources. Each tape sounds outstanding!

When I first looked at the price, I thought "Man, this thing isn't going to help me at all." But, I had no choice because I needed sound and it was the price I could afford. But when I recieved it, I was very surprised that the sound quality is exce

When i bought th ecard i thouggt it was a cheap alternative for an expensive card like the creative. But i am impress withit ! the sound is very clear n worth every penny !

I have this paired with athena s5s and a 300 sub. the sound is sweet for everything: PSX. movies -- dialogue & sfx, and of course music -- bright, crystal clear, wonderful range and musicality. night mode is great feature if listening late and worried about neighbors.
only gripe: unit needs an illuminated remote that is more easily programmable.
I got mine from HK online - refurbished for 420. w shipping and same warranty.

This receiver just oozes quality. It is solidly constructed, beautifully designed, and has amazing sound quality. Don't be fooled by the 55WPC power rating; this thing plays louder and with more integrity than the 100WPC stereo receiver it replaced. It's a cinch to set up, especially with the automatic speaker balancing feature. This thing has more ports than I'll ever need, and that's a great feeling. I've only had it for a week, but I love it. And, you can't beat the price offered by Amazon/J&R.

I ordered the h1940 on Amazon with free shipping and it arrived the next day! (The website said it will take 5-9 business days...). I've had it for 3 weeks now, and I must say this is quite a piece. I shopped around in stores, and this was the smallest handheld device on the market. It works great with my desktop PC, and keeps me very organized. Now that I'm so organized, I don't know what to do with all this free time I discovered I have, so I'm here writing reviews...

It doesn't come with a case or a cover, so you'll have to find one or risk damaging your display screen. I got the Belkin leather case designed for this model for $11. If you're interested in upgrading to Wi-fi, you can get the SD (Secure Digital) Wi-Fi card for about $90-100.

Update: I'm reducing the ratings to 4 stars because of the following: I mentioned earlier that you can go wifi by adding an SD wifi card for $90. I discovered later that the iPAQ H4155 already has built-in wifi and it only cost $400. In addition the H4155 has a 400mhz processor. If you are interested in wifi connectivity I would recommend you buy the H4155 instead of this one. I wanted to save money so I obstained from the h4155, but now I wish I had bought that one instead of this one. Not that this pocket PC isn't good, in fact it's great. But if you want wifi this isn't the right choice.

Had the 1940 but, with the addition of integrated Bluetooth wireless communication and a faster processor, the h1940 is what I really needed. So much power in a machine that weighs just 4.37 ounces and is very small (4.46 x 2.75 x 0.5 in). Also like the upgrade to Microsoft® Windows® Pocket PC 2003 Professional that is included.

I've owned this handheld for only 1 week, have graduated up from an older, different brand handheld.

This device is very relaible, deependable, and intuitive in its functionality.

The device comes packed with software features, downloads programmes quickly from the net, operates seamlessly with my PC, and is surprising fast during processing.

This is a huge jump for me from a visor(palm os), as long as you like windows os you should be really happy with this pda. it is fast, has plenty of storage for apps and the colors are beautiful. it has multimedia, music, video and jpgs. with windows xp, the device appears as a networked resource when synched, which is very neat. i find that i am able to read books on this device, because the graphics are so good, unlike my palm. i have used the bluetooth capability, and it was moderately difficult to configure on my network. it does seem to suck up power, but i have never experienced powere loss. i have had it for 6 months now, and have only had to reboot the thing once, and it was the result of some crappy shareware.

cheers...

I bought this card as an upgrade for our computers at the office and couldn't be happier. Installation was very easy and I had no problems with the drivers. The sound quality is great so this is an excellent alternative to the more pricey cards I found at computer suppliers. For reference, this card is the Jaton SonicWave - SR4 ...

I bought this card based on heliumcarbide's review and found it to be a good card for the money. In fact it has many options that I will never use. I would have paid the low price for just an old fashioned ISA sound card.

I bought these to replace/upgrade the default speakers that came with my Gateway at work, and they're much nicer. They will NOT replace a 3-speaker system, however. I compared them to my Yamaha set at home (2 satellites and a subwoofer) and there is NO contest - if you're used to subwoofer sound quality, don't downgrade to 2 speakers. If you're used to 2-speaker quality, these are pretty good! My biggest gripe: there is NO tone control, not even a simple High/Low dial. Volume control is the ONLY knob you get!

I bought a Sony computer this summer. The computer is great, but the speaker is terrible!! Hence, I would like to replace them with an acceptable multimedia speaker.

I am a fan of JBL speaker. After seeing this beautiful JBL duet and this low price in Amazon, I decided to order this special JBL Duet. Finally, I have terrific computer speaker to enhance the multimedia ability of my computer. The sound is clear and the bass is great! Nice for DVD and music!

Thank you, JBL! Thank you, Amazon!

While others have complained about the upgraded (30) model of this player skipping, I have never had such a problem with this player skipping in mp3s even after dropping it on concrete and using it in my partially leaf-sprung truck for weeks.
What this player does do is DISPLAY ID3 TAGS and play very loudly out of the headphone jack (gets slightly distorted @ loudest possible setting). The headphones that came with it were no good at all, as are all "free" headphones. This is possibly the easiest to navigate player I've used; all the critical buttons are there and spaced and sized so as to feel different from one another in the dark.
The player features some worthless equalization modes and programming options, but goes through batteries as fast as the average mp3 Cd player. The top cover is actually made out of aluminum, which is a blessing and a curse since it will not snap like plastic, but can bend with abuse. The male portion of the hinge locking mechanism is entirely metal, and so likely much more robust than most tend to be.
The only problem I have ever had with this player is that it apparently does not have a resume feature.
While I have come to despise JVC home theater equipment (particularly their recievers), this product is one of the best of its type.

The reviewer from Santa Rosa said just about everything, but I have a couple things to add.

The display is large and clear, and even I, with my bad eyesight, can see everything without problems.

Even though there appears to be no resume function, the forward and reverse buttons work so rapidly that it's easy to get back where you left off.

The only equalization available is "Hyper bass", but this one doesn't seem to need any; the sound is loud and clear through a set of high-quality headphones.

Mention of the aluminum lid doesn't do this thing enough justice; I've looked at and tried a *lot* of these MP3 CD players, and this one feels sturdier than all the others. The IRiver SlimX 350 may be just as sturdy, but the JVC has a really hefty, army-tank feel to it.

I was looking for something to replace my dying TDK Mojo 620. These MP3 CD players all have different features and different trade-offs, but if I had to start over again, I'd pick the JVC XLPM20 as the overall best replacement for the MOJO.

I used to listen to RCA but these are so fun listening to that i gave it 5 stars.

I've tried all the other brands out there and these sound the best when I record from CD's. They sound clearer and closer to the original source than the other brands. "Is It Live or is it Memorex?" is still a legitimate question!

For the price, this microrecorder does the job. I purchased this one to replace a forty dollar Panasonic one. This one works just as well if not better than the more expensive one. The only thing that I don't like about this one is that it is made out of cheap feeling plastic. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone that just tosses these into the briefcase.

Bought it for the kids since they were always stealing my expensive Sony, well eventually I lost the Sony, and in a moment of despiration grabed the kids, after scraping all of the gooey kid stuff, and replcing the batteries, I ran out the door to go to my meeting. Upon arriving at the meeting I turned on the recorder and to my surprise it worked flawlessly, I think the sound qualty is actually better, and it is definetly durable, upon returning home I bought a new one of these for myself, and have been very happy with it ever sense, the kids still use the old one and it has been a few months now, I just got interviewed with it last week, and it is still ticking.
