Acoustic Pollutions

Advantages: Simple to use
Disadvantages: Dodgy cd player and obnoxious smell

...~~ Purchase ~~ I bought my SP122 at Argos over two years ago along with a compatible and matching Acoustic Solutions SP101 Amplifier, Acoustic Solution SP111 DAB/FM Tuner and a pair of Acoustic Solution AVCS Column Stereo Speakers. I took advantage of a deal that was on offer at the time whereby if you bought the amp, tuner and CD player you would receive the speakers for free. ~~ Set up and Appearance ~~ This is an easy to use and uncomplicated CD unit. It's easy and straight forward to set up and attach to other units. I must admit though, it looked much better in the Argos catalogue than it does now that I have it set up in the living room. It's kind of plain in appearance, there are no fancy glowing lights. There is just one LCD panel that has a back light. The dimensions of the unit are 8cm(H), 43cm(W), 28.5cm(D) excluding...

Acoustic Energy AEGO, nod and enjoy

Advantages: Please read the review
Disadvantages: Hardly anything loud

...I heard about AE (acoustic energy) but that is all, never really felt any urge to delve into its range of audios until recently, in fact bumped accidentally to some massive sound which was too impressive and sweet to ignore. I was riding down the lane a couple of nights ago, and I was passing through a neighbor of mine who also happens to be a very good friend of mine, McCartney?s ?Mother Mary? was streaking out in streams from her window, I was wondering if this was again a new recording. I decided to have a look at it. The acoustic and tonal quality was bloody impressive and what I saw was even more so. My decision to go for Apple iPod was belated and was on purpose. I always contended that the there was no doubt about the quality of Apple but I had my own reservations about its audio capability. I only decided to go for it after...

review of Epiphone Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar

Advantages: very playable
Disadvantages: short sustain

...The Epipiphone Hummingbird is my first Acoustic guitar i have not stolen off my dad. £300 is not a bad deal, seeing as the Gibson acoustics are all around £3000. The looks and finish of this guitar are very nice, i enjoy graphics on my guitar as long as they arent too loud, and this 'mockingbird' illustration is just plain pleasent. The shape of the guitar is perfect so that it can sit on your lap for hours and not ache, partly due to its incredibly light weight. The playability is pretty much perfect, the best you can get for a £300 acoustic, and times I thought I was playing an electric, the fretboard was just so slim, the strings were at perfect distance from the fretboard. The sound is not as good as the playability I must admit, probably because of the lightweight body, it is not hard enough to sustain the notes for a very long...

Review of Epiphone Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar

1 of the elite trio of acoustic brands!!!

Advantages: will last a life time, sounds great, plays great, will not depreciate
Disadvantages: costly to begin with

...After playing for 12 years I had finally found an acoustic that was worthy of being purchased by myself. The acoustic market has an elite trio which consists in my opinion of: Taylor, Gibson and Martin. All offer fantastic tones, comfortable playability, exceptional intonation and superb craftsmanship. They are the bench mark of acoustics that offer outstanding quality which other brands cannot match. To put it quite simply, If you purchase a Martin you will never have to buy another acoustic again, they are the perfect tool for all professional players. In my experience I have never seen one loose any value or sound bad. My advice would be to certainly shop around to find the best deals and Do not just settle on the first that you pick up unless you are instantly happy with its feel and sound. No two acoustics are identical in sound...

Review of Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar

THE best electro acoustic guitar!

Advantages: Sound, build, playability
Disadvantages: Rounded back can be awkward at first.

...If you have read some of my other guitar reviews, you will know im a bit of a collector of guitars. In fact, you could almost say its an obsession. Therfore no collection would be complete without an axe from one of the world's finest and best known acoustic producers. Ovation. I own the Ovation Celebrity Deluxe which i believe is the finest looking in the Ovation range. However, you will also know that from my other reviews, Im left handed with the guitar which narrows your choice in colour. For a Right hander, the choices include, Black, Natural, Wine, Green and a sunburst effect top and also available in vasious mapel finishes. Im afraid to say my only choice was Black. Still it does look rather fetching and contrasts well with the Marquetry effect leaves around the multiple sound holes. Being an Ovation, it does come...

22" LCD TV - Acoustic Solutions

Advantages: Picture&sound quality, remote, controls, price
Disadvantages: other models include also DVD player, EPG is not always updated

...UNEXPECTEDLY GREAT TV!!! I've had this TV for a year now and I finally find some time to write a review about this product. It was gifted to me to be put in my bedroom. It's quite an ideal tv for a small or medium sized room. It's 22" widescreen so you can even place it quite near yourself without suffering too much. The TV itself has mostly good quality, overall I would suggest its purchase to anybody who needs a small-sized tv. First of all video and audio are very good, side stereo speakers can go very loud and still keep the quality of the sound decent, on the side you have a on/off button, which is (gladly) not digital. If for any reason the TV would freeze you can still reset it in the old fashioned way of pressing the off switch. When in stand-by a blue led light appears on the front. The design of the tv is simple but...

Go Audio Made Up Stories

Advantages: great consistency
Disadvantages: erm none really

...Go Audio Made Up Stories Go Audio have a great talent which they clearly show in this album, I personally am in love with their material. Made Up Stories ***** This is a brilliant start to this album and obviously is the album title. This i would say is just a taster to this album because if you listen to it you would know that the tracks just keep getting better. The vocals in this track are brilliant and it has a simple but effective bass line which i like jamming along to. So Quiet You Were **** I'm only giving this a four because nearly every other track is a five atleast. It is a brilliant track which has amazing memorizable lyrics to it and it is worth taking the time to listen to. Brake! Brake! ***** I love the rhythm and drum beat to this track they get your foot tapping or fingers...

Acoustic Solutions DS534

Advantages: Cheap, Decent Quality
Disadvantages: Speaker Stands, Remote

.... Unfortunately the cable is fixed so if you have a large room you will need an extender connection or a solder iron and more cable . It includes 2 x speaker stands which have no setup instructions so it took me a few mins to figure out what nut goes where and when I did figure this out one Nut had no threads and would not tighten onto the base. I managed to jam this on very crudely and I now have one wobbly speaker stand. but everything in it's place and working took about 30mins. Sound: I first tested this with a HD DVD on the XBox using an optical Digital audio cable(purchased seperately) and when the "Universal HD" Logo comes up you are instantly blown away by the 5.1 surround sound flowing around the room. The 5.1 seems to work really well and the Sub woofer is subtle and effective. The quality on the treble end is not outstanding but...

Acoustic Solutions 22" HDTV

Advantages: Buit in DVD player, Built in Digital Tuner, HD Ready, many more
Disadvantages: No PC input

.... Connection's on the Acoustic Solutions LCDW22DVD95F... On the side there is one Composite input, One Headphone input, Left and Right audio inputs. On the back of the television there is a HDMI input, Component input, Left and Right audio input and a Scart input. To connect a DVI Laptop or Desktop to this TV you need a HDMI to DVI cable but you wont get any audio from this. Quality of the Acoustic Solutions LCDW22DVD95F... The quality of the television is HD Ready 720p. Or you could say that is 1080i. The quality of the television in my opinion is excellent, better than my 32" HD 720p Television. But this television is going in my Kitchen so I will only use the HDMI port probably. Overall... Overall I think that the Acoustic Solutions LCDW22DVD95F is the best 22" television in the market. It has a Built in Digital Tuner, Built in DVD...
