Excelente Producto a un Precio inmejorable
Soy de Argnetina, me compré dos cajas de estos MINIDISC y andan realmente de maravilla, los grabe y regrabe con MP3 y son un espectaculo, ahora me estoy haiendo traer más de EEUU, cualquier cosa preguntame

Great Buy
First MD's I ever acquired - seems to work fine. Tried to erase and record all over again - and worked well. Comes with the MD case - which is a great incentive.

Give me some of that!
The new case that protects the actual disk isnt a joke. I had a few accidents involving an enraged 2 yearold and a minidisc. The minidisc came out of the battle without a scratch. Also, the actual disk is of A+ grade too.

Good Product & Good Price
If you add a 62mm circular polarizer you just did your first step into professional photograpy.

Makes pictures even better!
I use this set with my Olympus E-10 and thus far the results are awesome.... recently my boyfriend and I went for a trip into the mountains and both took a bunch of pictures of animals.... I used these filters and my pictures were perfect! He just used a UV filter with his camera and his came out over exposed on most of his shots due to the bright sun that day.... Great results under a variety of photographic shooting....

Tiffen Filter Kit...How Can You Not...
Tiffen Without A Doubt Makes The Best Round Filters Out There...But They're Also The Most [costly]...This Kit Provides A Solution For That Dilema...A Circular Polarizer Would Normally Cost About.., And For ..More, You Can Get An 812 (Warming Filter), And A UV Protector - With A Pouch...WOW...Every Camera Should Have A UV Filter - Even Just For Protection...Polarizers Are Pertty Handy Outdoors - To Bring Down Glare, And Add That Extra Burst Of Colour...And Warming Filters Are Great For Portraits...

With This Kit, You Can't Go Wrong...Will Fit Any 62mmWide Lense...

Screen rotation
Nobody has mentioned that this monitor can be rotated by 90 degrees to give portrait orientation. That means that for a single page of text or a portrait orientation picture, it is as good as a 1600 x 1280 screen.

Wow!
Nice bright/clear display. The 18" screen really shows a nice and vivid picture. I'm only using the VGA input right now (my graphics adapter doesn't have DVI...but my next adapter will and I'm now ready for that since this monitor can handle both).

Setup was also extremely easy without any troubles.

Awesome monitor!
I've had two of these monitors for a couple months now and continue to marvel at them. No dead pixels on either one and the image quality is as good as it gets. As far as the 30ms refresh rate, I've played Madden 2004 for over 50 hours on this monitor and never noticed any lag whatsoever. It's absolutely perfect. The pivot capability is also totally cool.

AWESOME
I havent bought this yet so I might be one of another. I thought it was going to be pretty bad but from the reviews this sounds awesome. If you have a brother or something an your at a football game he should get one so you can stay in touch!

Absolute Perfection!!!!!
This is by far the greatest walkie-talkie ever made! It even surpasses regular ones! I thought the range would be just ok. Once you see the range with the tiny little antenna, you will freak! The range is awesome. If you use the GMRS frequencies without a license, you cannot speak, only hear. But channels 1-14 (the majority) are FRS, which is free. Buy this, trust me!!!!!

Works great for its intended use
This is the perfect radio to strap onto you kids when you need to be able to recall them, or just make sure they are doing fine. We use it around the block and camping. Most of the time our higher power radios can reach them far away, but these can not always transmit back. At least they know it is time to come home. These have a great 'COOLNESS' factor and all of the kids want to try it. Have used them for about 2 months and they are still working, that is pretty good. Battery life has been better than I expected, but once it is drained, there is no spare and you are done for the day. Sound quality is also better than I expected out of a small unit, but it is still not as clear as a good Motorola. The kids will have LOTS of fun!

For Intermediate Drummers:
I purchased this product about a month ago and I am very pleased with it. The features are amazing and I love the fine tuning details. I've read other reviews that only comment on bad sound quality, but I consider the sound quality to be amazing. Although you can't expect much out of the unit's speakers, headphones or other external sound systems (such as amps) make the sound quality amazing (the speakers are great for practicing though). I've also read that people are unhappy with the low volume of the crash speakers. I addressed this problem by lowering the volume of all the pads except the cymbals, and then just raise the main volume. Many people think that this kit would not be good for a stand alone performance kit. I whole-heartedly agree. That's why I made a set up with my real hi-hat, and my bass drum, and put the dd-55 in the middle. I've played in two concerts like this and it has been a hit. I changed the hi-hat pad into a china cymbal (or a ride bell). I put a splash on the hi-hat pedal and a cowbell (or anything else you want) on the bass pedal. This setup worked great. I also figured out a way to rig the bass pedal so you could hit it with a real bass pedal. In one of the songs, I threw away my sticks and started to play the bongos! Everyone loved it! I'm glad Yamaha made such an affordable proffesional quality drum pad set and I'm sad when I see that most people can't use it to it's fullest potencial!

This drum system cannot be beat!
As a solo artist and song writer, I depend on this piece of equipment almost as much as my guitars. I've recorded 4 succesful albums using the Yamaha DD-55 and it has never let me down. It's simple to use, durable, and dependable. Don't buy a cheap drum machine from Radio Shack if youare serious about your music, invest some money and you'll see the investment pay off as you start cutting tracks. It's the next best thing to a live drummer in the studio.

3 reasons I like this drum set
1) Perfect for practice. As a non-drummer, buying a full acoustic or digital drumset is too much of a commitment. This little digital set gives a good simulation of the feel of a full kit (with some limitations) for learning new rhythms. Someday I'll buy a full kit but for now this guy will do.

2) Jamming. Sitting around with some friends and some guitars, it is really nice to pull out some backing drum sounds quickly and painlessly. The hand drum sounds are excellent as well for this.

3) Recording MIDI. This guy goes MIDI out to the computer for recording MIDI events and playing them back with the sound card's drumset or anything else you want. As a MIDI drum controller it is very handy. I have also recorded the on-board drum sounds (run through a guitar amp with mild distortion and reverb) and the results were pretty cool.

Almost the best notbook bag ever
I've had this bag for over a year, and it has held up tremedously - with one exception. The clasps on the shoulder strap bent open, but was able to bend them back using a pliers. The bag is a bit heavy due to the leather, but it looks so much better than any nylon one.

The best (Targus) with the best (Dell)
After having used a Targus Notebook Case for two years, with excellent results,with a NEC laptop, I decided that the next Leather Case would be a Targus. The CLN5 is outstanding and it goes very well with my Dell Inspiron 8200 which I just acquired. After spending around $2,000.00 plus for the Dell 8200, I could not buy just any case. It had to be the best(Targus) in order to go with the best(Dell 8200). Needless to say, when I saw the Amazon.com price of [price] I knew this was what I was looking for. No if's and but's about it. I just bought it knowing that Amazon sells only the best. Highly recommend it to anyone,specially if you have an expensive Dell Notebook. Through Amazon.com of course.

"Excelent Laptop Case".....
The Quality is excelent and I recommend to any person that looks for a computer case with very good price and comtemporary appearance. Superior and finest leather finish. Excelent product. Zomar.

A beautiful workhorse.
The Technics SL1200M3D is one of the absolute most reliable, and sturdiest tables out there. It is without a doubt, the most popular turntable for DJs in the world.

However for home use it is far from delivering the best in quality sound in its price range. 90% of all high end quality tables use belt drives. The reason is that direct drive motors cause vibrations that move up through motor, through the platter, to the record you are playing, and then to the needle and out the speakers. A large source of distortion.

A Music Hall MMF-5 comes in around $$$, the MMF-2.1 at $$$.
Both of these turntable will out preform the Technics in qaulity.

The best bet would be for a Rega Planar 2 table at $$$. This is a truly wonderful table. I own this table, along with 2 Technics 1200s (M3D & MK2)and a Rega Planar 3.

The Regas are some of the finest tables in the world for home audio use. But not if you are a DJ.

Superb Technics Crafstmanship
Having owned several plastic cheap turntables over the years ( all of them are in turntable heaven now)this was the last one I purchased.I have had it for almost 2 years and enjoy listening to it almost everyday like it was the first day I bought it ! In fact I sometimes prefer to listen to the old warm analog sound of my vinyl collection versus the new cold digital age of music.What will immediately set this 'table apart from other imitations or knock offs is the rugged and heavy duty plinth (what the actual wheel of steel sits on) and its impeccable or uncanny way of tracking even some older somewhat warped lps (if counter-weight and anti tracking are adjusted just so). This is not only the working dj's table but also for the guy or gal with the valuable record collection. Though it is totally manual, the sacrifice of having to get up (off my lazy ...)and stop it at the end of an lp side is well worth it in exchange for the high calibre of performance.Also, from my past experiences with full automatic turntables I would often pay a high price for owning them because the automatic mechanisms were always the first part to breakdown on any of my tables.This one is a no frills manual without the worry of an automatic mechanism failing (dropping the needle on the outside of the record or rejecting before the actual time of side a or b was up GRRRR !). Rotational speed accuracy is incredible (practically almost no wow and flutter).Start up from a dead stop is fast!You can even gently run your fingertips in the opposite direction the platter is playing and feel how tight and tough the motor fights you to maintain a constant correct speed.This is a great table for archiving your valuable lp's onto a cd recorder due to the smooth start and stop feature.It is also an attractive looking piece of audio equipment that would look like the crowning component jewel to any a/v system;it would make your friends do a double take(either because its an aesthetically nice looking piece or the puzzlement of why anybody still listens to records)It will definitely make young kids and some teens say, "what the heck is that ???). Fitted with an excellent cartridge it will give hours of enjoyment for a party as well as probably outlive the family cat !

The best Turntable just got better
Having previously owned the SL1200 MKII, I needed to upgrade and it was about time that Technics came out with an improved version of their classic Indusry Standard. Appearance wise it is almost exactly the same as the SL1200 MKII but the boys have been busy in making noticable changes. The Torque motor moving the turntable platter on this new Deck is nothing short of amazing. For mixing it is the best turntable i have come across and it will last for a good 20 years, maybe more. Having said that it is probably the cheapest turntable to buy in the long run if you are to take quality and reliability into account. The Dust Cover comes off a lot smoother then previously I might add (owners of the SL1200 MK2 will know what Im talking about). So if you are planning on buying a new set of Decks or want to have some serious set of Equipment at your disposal this is what you should be looking at. Do not be fooled by the flashy little buttons and effects that can be found on other turntable brands.

TV MANIA
I shopped around for a TV that was 46" and rear projection for a long time. I found that brand recognition was not as bad as I initiatially had thought that it was. I've had a small "Toshib",and I call it that 'cause the letter fell off quite some time ago, but the fact that this tv still goes on is amazing. This TV has been in my house for at least 12 plus years. So, I think that this brand is invariably outstanding. My "Toshib" still plays,while my "Toshib" has lines across the top of the screen. I admit, there are a few set out there that beat this Toshiba, but my new Toshiba Widescreen TV is really nice!!!!!!!!!! and all the worth of a dollar spent.

Awesome TV!!!!
We bought this TV about a month ago or so, and at the time weren't even looking at a TV or did we even need one. For some reason we got a wild hair in us and went to the store to look at actually originally a different TV. The one we were looking at was really nice too, but the sales guy told us this one had the best review in Consumer Reports and it would be the best bet. We decided to listen to him, and so glad we did! We love this TV, it looks really nice too, especially with the matchng stand to go with it. We do have a HDTV digital cable box, and it is amazing the way things look on this TV!! We are now waiting for movies to come out on DVD rather than the theater because it is so fun to watch movies on this TV!!! I would definetely recommend it!

LOVE IT
We did alot of research on rear-projectors and found that Toshiba really had the best reviews. We just got our Toshiba a few days ago. Right now we do not even have a high def signal coming into it, but the picture is still amazing. DVDs that we have watched numerous times are like new pictures to us. There is scenary that you never would have noticed on a 4:3 screen.

There are alot of great functions with the tv, including different Picture sizes that will let you 'stretch' regular broadcasts into a widescreen viewing area. The TV does need tweaked for your viewing environment (brightness, contrast,etc) but this was very easy to do with the remote and the manual.

There are plenty of video inputs to use. We only need one because we run everything through a high end Audio/Video receiver with Component Video Cables. I would recommend spending a little more on the cables, it is worth it.

All in all, the 3 days I have spent with my new tv has been great!!! I can't wait to see how fabulous the picture is once I get the high definition source and receiver.

Performs well, but setup was tricky
I can't speak for the speed of the drive because I don't use it often. I bought it to use for backup space. I set it up with two 9.7 gig extended DOS partitions and backup a desktop and a laptop very easily and with a saving of about $700 over a tape backup system. Listen, guys. Tape backup will never keep up with drive size.

Setup was difficult (even for me, who has been in computers since the TRS-80), but WD tech support is great.

Supurb deal!
This drive is everything you could want. It is super fast and just as big. Installation was easy using the detailed instructions and software. My first install took 45 mins and my second 20 mins. I can't say enough good things about this product.

Western Digital is KING!
I own a Caviar 102AA UDMA66.(10.2 Gig)Its a FAST drive with ultra-low access time, and virtually makes NO noise (unlike Maxtor!) WD's support staff was AWESOME. I had some problems with EZ-Drive and Windows NT. (Not compatible.) And the tech was one cool guy.

The aspect I like most about Western Digital drives is that you know if something goes wrong with the drive, they will fix it. No matter what. Buy the drive and take home the leader in Data & Service.
