I have owned a majik-i amplifier for many years. As standard the Majik-i comes C.D. ready only, but you could have a Phono stage added(stated on purchase) for moving coil or moving magnet .The sound quality is very good and has not de-graded, but however, the button control unit on the front of the amplifier while still under warranty started to become awkward to use. I sent the amplifier to my local dealer for repair. I was told that it was dust under the buttons membrane. I was still not happy with the operation of the buttons. The amplifier was then sent back again and I presume, a new button unit was fitted. Today the button operation I think is still not satisfacory and because of this the writing on the buttons has now worn away where it is so awkward to press the buttons. Another reason for the excessive button wear is that the remote control seems reluctant to operate the volume control (the most important function) of the amplifier, other functions seem o.k. I also have a Linn C.D. player which comes with a remote control able to control the volume control on the amplifier, this too struggles to adjust the volume suggesting that it is a fault with the amplifier not the remote controls / batteries etc. For its sound quality I would recommend the ampifier, but if buying second-hand I would check the button and remote control opearation fully before purchasing. I do not know if other units had the same problem or if mine was an isolated case, but if it were a common problem I would like to know.
Having recently been eligible for a free phone upgrade through my network provider, I opted for the Sony Ericsson W910i walkman mobile phone. I have owned several Sony Ericsson phones over the past few years, and have become quite a big fan of their... more
Don't worry chaps - I promise to write about a mobile phone only once every 18 months!

I've had this phone about a year and a half and even at low prices, Sony does not compromise on quality.
Before we start, I'm not sure whether this makes any difference but
my phone is from and on Virgin Media.

== Sony Ericsson W960i ==
One of the newest Sony Ericsson cell phones on the market, a great promise, but what's inside for real - can SE live up to its promise, can't they or do they give even more?
I've upgraded to W960i after years of using W800i... more
This is a neat, stylish, high-spec phone. As you'd expect from the Walkman brand, it's fantastic as a music player. You can control your tracks from the touchpad on the top and the sound quality is great, especially since in-ear noise-cancelling... more
I bought this phone for my 75 year old Nanna as she wanted a simple mobile phone that just made and received calls.
Obviously in this day and age that is very hard to find, so I have to say hats off to Nokia for keeping their simple, low cost handsets more
