Numark Axis 9 The best value cd deck for rookies and bedroom Djs

Advantages: Consistent, All main effects (scratch + key lock that WORKS)
Disadvantages: No built in memory

...I dj 2-3 times a week and often take my equipment in and out of venues so I need equipment that is durable and reliable. Ive had a pair of axis 9's for a few years now. They have turned out to be quite reliable and consistent where more expensive models weren't .. very important if you dj'ing at a gig. If you are a laptop Dj the Axis 9's works fine with all the major software, VDJ, Rockit, Traktor etc. There are some new features on the axis 9's along with all the standard feature on the axis series. Pitch-lock (called key-lock on numarks) is one of the most useful features I use and in my opinion axis 9's do this much better than others in a similar price range like 1200DZ or CDJ 200. They have very decent effects that are really easy to use, most notably, the scratch function which is a direct improvement from previous models like...

Review of Numark AXIS 9

MusicMan Axis Review

Advantages: Great for smaller hands. Lightweight. Easy to play.
Disadvantages: Floyd Rose Trem. Hard to get parts

...I won't bother boring you with the specs of this guitar, if you are looking to buy it you will probably already know them already! Just for reference, the model I have is the orange quilt top with maple fingerboard. The Axis has a Floyd Rose, as opposed to the Super Sport which I believe is more akin to a fixed bridge. I am not keen on Floyd Rose trems due to the extra hassle with tuning and changing strings, but that is pretty much all I can fault with this guitar. The neck is absolutely incredible, especially for someone with smaller hands. It is my favourite guitar to play, as it suits my hands so well with its narrow neck and short scale, it's much easier than guitars such as PRS and Jacksons of similar price, which have wider necks. I find the MusicMan does not produce particularly clean sounds when amplified; that is to say...

Review of Ernie Ball Music Man Axis Electric Guitar

Just ask the Axis, he knows everything

Advantages: Some great rock songs here
Disadvantages: A forgotten album

...Axis: Bold As Love with its fantastic spaced-out cover art, showing the band as kind of like Hindu deities (cobras, elephants, kings, girls, firebreathers, the lot) was The Jimi Hendrix Experience's second release after "Are You Experienced?" in 1966. The passage of time has seen this album somewhat overshadowed by their debut and the later "Electric Ladyland" complete with their no 1 smash single, the famous and totally brilliant Voodoo Chile. But that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves so let's get back to this interesting record which has 13 songs in all and clocks in at a respectable 46 minutes. The late 1960's was the era of the power trio, with such bands as Cream, Gun, and the US outfit Mountain playing hard rock with fuzzy guitars and heavy bass rythyms. Indeed the Experience's bassist, Noel Redding, was...

Labtec axis 301

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: None

...Being an online gamer i decided to go out and purchase a headphone set so i could talk in person to my fellow gamers instead of typing into the games chat all the time (which often resulted in me letting my team down as i would get shot whilst typing) The main criteria for my purchase was... 1. Needed to be hands free with a mic attached to the headset. 2. Needed to have a long enough cable to reach my sound card without being streched. 3. Needed to be cheap, i didnt want to pay silly prices for something i would only use 3 times a week!!. Enter the Labtec axis 301, it is all of the above, it was simple to setup and came provided with a 2.4 metre cable which is ample for me. The product also supports speech recognition although i havnt had the oppturnity to test the accuracy of this feature yet and a 1 years manufacture...

Review of Sony SRS D211

Yamaha 211-silver plated!

Advantages: Cheap student model, good quality, good brand
Disadvantages: higher register not very clear, heavy, dull in colour

...First of all, before I begin with this review, I must state that as my first flute (recommended by my teacher over 6 years ago) I highly recommend this flute to any beginner. Yamaha are very well known throughout the music industry and their range of instruments prove their reliability. The yamaha 211 is as popular now as it was 6 years ago when I first began to learn, proving that it must be a pretty good instrument! It is common knowledge amongst flute teachers world wide that this is one of the greatest beginner instruments. I personally kept this flute until I had completed my grade 5 examinations, and with a track record of distinctions, it did a pretty good job for me! The inotation is excellent right up until the top register, when the sound then begins to become slightly muffled. This isn't a problem until the higher grades...

Review of Yamaha 211 Silver-plated

PS3 SixAxis

Advantages: +Lightweight +Great battery life +Motion-sensing
Disadvantages: -No rumble

...The SixAxis controller is the standard controller for the PS3 at the moment. In the east (and possibly America) a new version has been released which has a rumble feature. This product will be out in the UK around about springtime. The current model lacks rumble capabilities. This may seem a bad thing, but you really do get used to it, I don't miss rumble at all now although I might buy the dualshock3 (the rumble version) when it comes out in the spring, as it's bound to add a bit to the experience of playing a game, but its nothing major. The lack of rumble is the ONLY possible negative I can think of for the sixaxis, although as it doesn’t affect me much I don’t really see it as a negative (although some might) The controller uses bluetooth to connect to the ps3, you plug it into the ps3 by the lead, press a button in...

Review of Hotpoint HVL 211

My personal opinion of Axis and Allies

Advantages: Very well balanced rules
Disadvantages: Time factor for games

...Axis and Allies is a very time consuming game. Be sure to allow upwards of 4 hours for a complete game, longer if playing as teams, and I have played in games which have lasted up to 18 hours. Set in the Second World War it pits two teams against each other with the Axis of Germany and Japan against the Allies of the USA,Russia and Great Britain. It is a game for adults or older children with 13 to 14 years of age being a minimum due to the length of time spent in playing and the relative complexity of the rules when compared to games such as Monopoly etc. Note that the rating of average complexity to set up is for games of this type. If compared to a game like Monopoly it is a lot more involved in the setup stage. Having said that I still recommend this game to anyone interested in strategy. It has a luck element but this...

Review of Axis & Allies

Axis: Bold As Love A More Mature Album

Advantages: All Of It
Disadvantages: None Of It

...Overall: Axis is a great example of Jimi Hendrix's development in playing and his ideas as it is a much more mature album than his earlier works. It is well worth the money; surprisingly good value. Full: The Jimi Hendrix Experience followed up their magical debut with another masterpiece. Axis: Bold As Love is a psychedelic gem that opens with the bizarre, feedback explosion of "EXP". "Spanish Castle Magic" is a great song with some superb guitar while "Wait Until Tomorrow" has an almost pop sound with a catchy as hell chorus. Mr. Hendrix's music has always had a socially conscious bent, but "If 6 Was 9" is one of his most overt social statements, with its spacey sound and its pro hippie lyrics. "You Got Me Floatin'" has a propulsive beat, "Castle Made Of Sand" has a quiet sound with some very poignant lyrics and "She...
