Advantages: Good tone quality, good tape recording quality Disadvantages: Needs longer leads on speakers - needs frequent CD lens cleaning
1995 seems like a long time ago but that's when we bought our Aiwa NSX-V70 from Comets and, although I am aware that others seem to have given this stereo system bad reviews, we have found ours to be really excellent. Maybe it's something to do with acoustics but we find the tone very rich, particularly on its equalizer settings - I purchased a couple of phono leads and connected to our nicam Sony VCR and/or DVD player. Another thing that must be said, is that we have not "hammered" the system to maybe that's why is has given such long service.
Although the original price was near to £400, I have since seen the same unit going on Ebay from around £50. The prices have come right down on these units now.

Aiwa NSX-V400 Mini Music System
I bought this system just over a year ago and I am all praises.
At PDS135.00, at the time, it was a great deal. Prices for this model or the equivalent new model are probably cheaper now.

It also has a double cassette player with continuous play, FM/MW/LW digital radio, 70 Watt speakers (although I was disappointed that these we’re made in the Czech Republic instead of Japan), Surround system, 4 preset graphic equalizer and a host of other specs.
The sound quality and output are very good. Do you really want other models and brands, which give you unusable amount of watts per channel, if you’re using it at home? Would you ever use this maximum output? Well ...

above the lens when not in use.
Although its relatively quick to recharge, it does work better with normal batteries rather than ni-mh. It has a guide number of 36 (20 for wide angle) and seems to reach the extremes quite well.
The digital display on the back of the unit is controlled by a couple of buttons and a thumb wheel and once you have read some of the massive handbook for the flash (little flash - big book!) you'll be able to decide how much or how little control you want or need.
A great flash to accompany one of the best Digital SLR's on the market. ...
