Advantages: Good sound levels, 7 band EQ is a nice touch. Disadvantages: Heavy, awkward to carry,
Ok, so this was my first *big* amp and at 300 watts it is a beast. Its good to look at, with reinforced corners and large carry handles on the sides. This is a good feature because its a beast and weighs just over 30 KGS. On the front, there are a variety of controls, perhaps the most flexible is the 7 band graphic EQ which allows you to boost and cut (in Decibels) certain frequencies. This, used insightfully with the EQ on your bass opens tone you can only dream of ........
The other main controls are:
Volume, Gain, Enhance, Treble, Bass, two inputs, (one for passive basses and one for active, although these really dont make a tangible difference) a tweeter, or "horn" which is excellent for that crisp glassy sound when you pop and slap or just want that bit more.
It has cabinet connectivity so if you felt so inclined to up the power ...

Advantages: One of those "greatest film ever" regulars, and with good reason. Disadvantages: None.
There is something inherently eerie, otherworldly, about silent pictures. Whatever the merit of the film itself, the faint flickering of the frames (however good the restoration), the grain, the occasionally over-theatrical performances (I'm generalising horribly here, I know. There is nothing theatrical about many of the performances in, for example, Benjamin Christensen's masterpiece Haxan), even the nature of the musical soundtrack, disembodied and carrying on with little synchronisation with movements, actions onscreen...
Eerie, yes.
And how much more so when these elements are wrapped around a picture already reeking of the uncanny? A picture, perhaps, like Robert Weine's 1919 The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari.
The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is a masterpiece. Routinely propping up the top end of Best Films Ever Made lists, it is ...
Advantages: Double use as a cabinet and baby changing table, inexpensive, easy to assemble Disadvantages: Flaking paint on the changing table after a while
I bought the Hensvik changing table/cabinet designed by Carina Bengs a couple of years ago from IKEA for £85.
I was expecting my second baby and loved the idea of the double use in this piece of furniture. First, it can be used as a changing table for your baby and when one is no longer required, the changing shelf can be removed and a second book shelf can be easily fitted into a slot above and there you go: you have a lovely looking book cabinet.
The assembly was fairly simple. The instructions came in true IKEA style with pictures but the assembly was easily manageable with those. The Allen key and all screws were included, so you can unwrap, assemble and use. The assembled size measures as follows:
Width: 75 cm
Depth: 41 cm
Height: 161 cm
The item has a very good size and fits for example in my house into an alcove ...
