Advantages: Superb sound quality, ample power, substantial build quality, easy to use remote, easy to set up Disadvantages: Discontinued so not readily available, no Moving Coil phono stage (see review ) though at this price it's nitpicking.
Well for those who read my review on my fantastic Sony SCD XB940 SACD player, I mentioned I'd upgraded my worn out Pioneer amp and increased my listening my listening pleasure still furthur.
So I thought it was a good idea to review this amp.
My Pioneer Amp had started to lose its power after a friend of mine dismantled it in an attempt to upgrade the mains cable. He couldn't fit the cable and managed to trash the amp (Cheers Raj!!). As it happened I was looking for an upgrade in any case so he'd just brought forward the decision by a few weeks...
MORAL-DON'T let anybody near your precious HiFi amp unless he/she is a qualified technician or engineer. Amps are more complicateced than they look requiring amongst other things skilled use of a soldering iron.If you or anybody else isn't qualified then DON'T EVEN GO THERE!!

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony TAFB940R
Advantages: Nice Classy Design, Great Graphics, and a Good Online Disadvantages: Small Gamelist Thus Far and Some Games Suffer From Framerate and Graphical Pop-Up Issues
Sony's Playstation 3 is thier third go around in the Video Game business. My console reviews usually consist of reviews in the following categories Controller, Graphics, Multiplayer/Online, and Game Library. Much like the Xbox 360, i'll also be reviewing the Design of the PS3.
The design of the PS3 is the more classy of the three new consoles. The PS3 is a black square system with a curved top. While the design is beautiful, this system is very big, matching the 360 in terms of size. The system also offers Blu-ray but, in my opinion, that should not be the only reason you should be spending $400-500 on this system.
The PS3's controller is the classic Playstation controller once again and that shouldn't be a problem for any gamer. The original PS3 controller was the Sixaxis but is now Dualshock 3. For a company that created ...
Advantages: graphics, games, online, controller, support, style Disadvantages: higher cost than other consoles
Sony Playstation 3 is the best console on the market. The graphics are amazing, especially with a hd tv. There is a wide range of games available for the console and a number of accessories to make the whole experience as fun as possible. The hard drive is big enough for all the game files you could possibly need, with room for some music, photos and movies aswell. Online play is simple to use, and free, and is great fun. Days can be lost playing online as every game is different and interesting. The controllers are brilliant, ergonomical and light, and the battery life lasts a long time before more charging is required. All in all, the Sony Playstation 3 is an awesome games console, highly recommended. ...
