...the stereo. Turning on the Ministry of Sound MOSCA099 reveals a smartly blue illumination dials, followed by a clear vibrant 2.5" screen. On loading a data cd (filled with mp3's) a smart menu appears allowing you to select your chosen song. The menu is a little hard to read I must admitt (but only becuase the text could just do with being a little larger to read). On inserting a dvd then the full operation hits you with a 'wow', being a clear deep ...
...with most discs, it has not refused to play any (eg, jpg, bmp, mp4, mp3, dvd and all the usual file formats. In general i would say buy one, if your after a decent stereo that looks good, sounds good and has plenty of features to play with. If your after the top of the range, massive touch screen and something a little more special then hold out, and shop around for something a bit more exclusive. Sound 7/10 - Dvd playback 9/10 -menu system 5/10 ...

Review of Ministry of Sound Mosca 099

MOS CD player

Advantages: Looks flash, cheap -ish to buy
Disadvantages: skips (if it works at all) fidley to fit, breaks easy

I bought one of these from Argos last year because I always believed MOS CD players to be good quality... Was I wrong!! The first one i bought wouldnt fir in the cage properly to put in my car, so with a few alterations I managed to get it in and connect the wires which was hard enough with foriegn instructions but not knowing what wire went where was terrible! The foreign instructions was one page with a simple diagram on, not very good when its ...
...bounced around alot in my car even with the bracket at the back of it holding it in place, and my CD's constantly skipped even if you werent moving. The radio wasnt any better, the signal was terrible. (and I knew it wasnt my car because I tested it with others) I took this one back thinking it was a bit faulty and got another one. This one fitted in my car but refused to play CD's unless it was a copy (dont ask me why!) I emailed MOS audio to see ...

Review of Ministry of Sound Mosca 034

Ministry Of Sound MOSCA089

Advantages: Easy to see at night, SD/MMC card Slot, USB input.
Disadvantages: No AUX in, minor but no twisty dial.

The MOSCA089 is the perfect in care stereo for those who are bored of the old CDs...with a SD/MMC card slot and USB input it truly makes listening to your whole music library much easier. Though the wattage isn't top of the range, it is still excellent (4x40W) and the sound quality is superb, as long as the song you have is recorded in good condition. First up, the CD player, excellent, press a button and the panel folds down to reveal the CD slot, ...
...the player keeps playing even when folded. Very neat! The quality of the CD player is stunnign as long as your speakers can handle the base this thing puts out. Next, the SD/MMC card slot....my preferred method. First of all you need to put the songs on the card, simply transfer them on using your PC. With 4GB cards now cheaply availabe, having hundreds of songs in your stereo is easy! The quality is once again excellent as long as the quality of ...

Review of Ministry of Sound MOSCA089

best i've ever owend!

Advantages: unbeleavable performance!
Disadvantages: hard to get hold of.

truely the best amp i have ever owned! it is an old amp now, but will still out perform near enough anything else on the market. they are that powerfull, they have even been banned from sound compertitions! seriously unde-rated! i currently own 2 and will never sell them, as they are that good and rare to get hold of nowadays. to run it at its full capacity, you will need to run 0 gauge cable to them, i did have 4 gauge cable, going to one and ...
...the car and gets A LOT of attention. the RMS of this amp is 900w monobloc, which is more than you get out of most competition amps, and will spike to 1600w if pushed! these amps, arre not for the feint hearted, and will very easily blow subs if not installed and set up correctly. BE WARNED! ...

Review of Sony XM-D 1000 P 5

Car FM transmitter for Apple audio players that fails to perform

Advantages: Easy installation, charges you audio player
Disadvantages: Poor sound quality, may foul gear stick.

...In the case of the GEAR4 CarDock FM Transmitter, it's powered by the 12V cigarette lighter socket in your car so you need to plug it in, connect your Apple audio player, tune your stereo to the frequency displayed on the transmitter and away you go. It also charges your Apple player with no issues and is compatible with practically every Apple audio device including iPhone (2G, 3G, 3GS) iPod (classic, Nano, Video and touch) thanks to included adapters. ...
...described as a badly tuned radio station! Even if I were desperate I'd still grow tired of it after a while which is a shame. As the gear stick is near the cigarette lighter in my car, my hand fouled the transmitter when I shift into 5th gear too. At £50 this is a pretty dire bit of kit but to be honest I haven't used a good FM transmitter yet, and I've used a few. ...
