DAB a DAB a DOO

Advantages: Improves radio quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Wires can get in the way, another thing to remember

...finish school. Like I say, easy to use. Much like a Sat Nav you can take it in and out of the car and you stick it your window like a Sat Nav. However if you do have Sat Nav, this can also be a con - if you think about it, another thing to remember in the morning and another thing stuck to your window. Another draw back to it is that you may find the cable gets in the way, dependent on where you have it. It is supplied with a in car power supply which you plug into your ciggerrate lighter - which can also be another downside if your Sat Nav starts to lose it's battery life. You can use standard batteries, but it's not as good - the signal seems weaker and it's definately not as loud. As a drummer, I am going deaf so I need things as loud as possible! Tuning it in is very simple, you select the DAB radio 'wave/address' (whichever...

The Very DAB

Advantages: Inexpensive, decent output for a bedroom or smaller room, mp3 capability
Disadvantages: No good for a larger room due to the 5 watt output per speaker

...with the correct jack lead which is not included. What?s In the Box The box is quite large and I was actually surprised at the weight which was 7 kilos. The box was fine for me to carry to and from the car but I wouldn?t have wanted to be carrying it about for any longer really. The box contains two speakers, the micro system, a DAB/FM wire antenna and a remote control. There is also a user manual included. Setting Up Set up was incredibly straightforward. The speaker cords need to be connected to the main micro system but this is easy ? you just insert the stripped part of the speaker cord into the correct speaker socket ? either L or R for each speaker. The antenna also needs to be attached to ensure the radio can pick up signals clearly. You then just plug it in and switch it on and you are almost ready to go. The micro system...

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

Denon We Go, Becoming a DAB Hand In The Process

Advantages: All in one and very versatile. Good sound given a quality source
Disadvantages: Fiddly set-up. All menu driven, so a bit tricky to navigate too.

...around on other sites, I?m not the only person who?s found this aspect of the Denon?s set-up tricky. Maybe Denon + Apple should ring alarm bells. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE??.? Very good actually, but thanks to a lack of tone controls (i.e. bass and treble), as a Radio Four listener, I found the human voice to be a bit over-plummy, although rock music sounded great, making this little buzz-box sound a lot larger than it really was. CD and DAB radio, followed a close third by FM radio sound best. Internet radio can sometimes have that ?phased? sound like listening to Radio Luxembourg used to be, as the link between you and your chosen station speeds up and slows down. Streaming audio from your PC (or from the iPod dock) sounds as good as the sampling rate you chose when ?ripping? the music in the first place. CRITICISMS Well, apart from...

Magical

Advantages: Some fun stories
Disadvantages: I'd read most of them in other collections

...I've long been a fan of Neil Gaiman, as he is one of those writers who can mix the fantastical with the real and make it feel somehow natural. His writing has a kind of credibility that means when Neil Gaiman tells you something unbelievable, you start keeping half an eye out for it, just in case. I've read most of Gaiman's novels and short story collections, but had never dipped into the writing he aims at a slightly younger audience. Given that his writing often makes me feel like a child again, I wasn't anticipating any major difference in his writing for the different audience, particularly in a collection of short stories. That is exactly what I got, as "M is for Magic" is a collection of stories specially selected for the audience, but not written specifically for the audience. Indeed, of the eleven stories contained within...

Boxing News

Advantages: Quality, Easy To read, Likable
Disadvantages: Short, Price, Formulaic

...If Ring magazine is the world champion of boxing magazine it's big European rival is British based Boxing News that is now celebrating it's 100th year in production. It's currently a weekly magazine (though it's a registered paper) priced at £2.80 and released on a Friday ever week. Although the history of how it's become what it is, is an interesting story that saw one of my personal hero's Harry Mullan become it's editor for quite some time before his very untimely death, this review will stick to what the magazine currently is. It's currently almost full of regular features, like most magazines and it's opening article titled ?Fighting Talk? is written by current editor Claude Abrams and although not always a fan of his views an opinions it's often a well written piece to open the magazine. It's almost certainly based on just...

A magic box of tricks

Advantages: loads more TV without the pay out
Disadvantages: few to many advert/auction channels

...Brought this set top box for my daughter's bedroom, thought it may stop her from hogging the remote control down stairs, it has worked to a certain degree, thank god or Argos. Before buying one of these, check your postcode area for reception, most places have a small card available, with telephone number, website info etc: this is very important, as you may find if you don't live in the correct reception area, your paying out for nothing. Setting the system up is quite easy, but make sure your reading the correct part for the initial set up and read through thoroughly or you'll lose yourself amidst jargon. Once all the connections are made and your up and running, automatic tuning is done through the remote control, this can be done manually but I don't see the point, as the installation starts, everything becomes self explanatory...

Magical Dragons!

Advantages: fun story
Disadvantages: none

...Dragon Magic is a cute tale that transports children to a magical world of castles and dragons. It tells the story of a small girl called Jess and her blacksmith father, Big John, who rely on their dragon's breath to soften the iron that they use to make things. Problems start when Big John is making a new gate for the king but Huff, their dragon, has run out of puff. Soon some dragon eggs are found and before long a new baby called Puff hatches. She soon becomes part of the family and sets to work helping to make the gate. However, the king is worried that the gate won't be finished and he has spied strangers heading towards the city. It is a race against time especially when Puff shows signs of becoming ill. What else could possibly go wrong? My daughter really enjoyed this story and kept getting excited about what would happen next...

A Magical Experience!

Advantages: Fantastic show, and it's free!
Disadvantages: None

...No visit to Barcelona is complete without a visit to the fabulous spectacle which is the Magic Fountain. I had first seen the Magic Fountain on TV back in 1992 when Barcelona hosted the Olympics. It is situated not far from the outdoor Olympic Pool and stadium. I can remember being quite impressed by the fountain and thinking it would be nice to actually visit and watch the show. Sixteen years on my wish came true, as myself and my partner were on holiday in Spain and having longed to visit Barcelona, we booked a day trip to the city. We liked it so much we returned again this year. The fountain stands at the foot of the steps leading up to the impressive National Palace, situated high up on Montjuic, and performances take place in the evenings - four times a week in the summer and twice a week in winter. There are around five shows...

Touch Magic

Advantages: Great sound quality, great applications
Disadvantages: Battery Life, Fingerprints, could be better

...itself. With the addition of Wi Fi it allows you to control Itunes on your IPod instead of on your computer as well, it also allows you access to the App Store, which allows you to download many different applications for your enjoyment. Design/Look When you get your IPod, you should get it in quite a small box. This small box contains everything you need, from a USB cable, headphones and IPod Dock adapter for the IPod Touch, as well as a very small and compact instruction manual. When you take out your IPod you?ll see it?s in a plastic casing. Once this is out, I have to say I was shocked at how thin it was, I had seen them demonstrate it to me, but really hadn?t looked at it. The IPod is only 8mm thick, which is usual for most IPod?s but considering how much this IPod does I have to say I was expecting something a little bit...
