Amplify Shampoo are the americans taking over.

Advantages: small amounts needed, resonable price, shiney smooth looking hair
Disadvantages: none as of yet

...Matrix is the no1 hair retailer in american salons, it has slowly filtered through to the uk and i must say about time. As this is an american brand it is very advanced compared to the uk made brands. they now supply everything you can think of shampoo, conditioner, gels, wax, sprays, conditioning tratments, heat protector you name it they do it. My personal favorite is the Matrix amplify volumising system range, the shampoo is a must in my house hold. It is a volumising shampoo, that boosts dull lifeless hair. it be honest i don't tend to have lifeless hair but this shampoo is great for hair that is dull and dry, and transforms my hair into a lovely mane of shine that looks really healthy and cared for. if am always colouring my hair so i need something that, will help and this does the trick, i colour my hair every six weeks...

Review of Matrix Amplify Volumizing Shampoo

Onkyo DV SP 406

Advantages: Great Picture, incredible soundstage
Disadvantages: video artifacts after 3 DVDs CD audio lacking body

...I used a TX DX 777 Onkyo WRAT receiver and a set of Vandersteen 1 2 way floor standing speakers and a Samsung LCD T4871F TV. The audio connection was a Toslink and the video HDMI both low priced parts. My system is set up for surround sound and my speaker levels and placement have been set by using a sound pressure meter and distance measurements used in the DX777. This player is Brutal in it's accurate reproduction of video and cd music. If you put in a so so DVD this player will show you just how so so it is, I do not care what resolution you set it at. The better the quality of the DVD the better the picture will be. I found it to be the same with audio. My bargin CDs sounded just that way, bargin basement, but put in a DDD CD and you could hear the difference. The sound stage is fantastic. The speaker no longer exshist, the music...

Amplified Heart - Everything But The Girl

Advantages: Some Good Songs, Good Lyrics
Disadvantages: Quite Mournful In Places, Some Songs Rather Short

...In 1994 Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, collectively known as Everything But The Girl, released their seventh studio Album entitled Amplified Heart. There had been two other Albums released between this and its predecessor Worldwide, but these were essentially compilation Albums. One called Acoustic, released in the United States only and featuring as you may guess from the title, Acoustic versions of some of their previously released songs. The other a proper compilation of their Greatest Hits called Home Movies. Amplified Heart contains 10 tracks as below: Rollercoaster Troubled Mind I Don't Understand Anything Walking To You Get Me Missing Two Star Walk The Same Line 25th December Disenchanted The Album opens with Rollercoaster, the first single to taken from the Album. This is an upbeat track. Tracey's voice is smooth...

Onkyo CR-515DAB

Advantages: yes
Disadvantages: no

...was a bit compressed sounding until now!) - build quality and looks, you can feel the quality! - compact physically - Price (i would of happily payed a lot more for something this good!) - Buy it in black! Bad bits: - the remote is silver (why not black Onkyo? unless your men packed it wrongly. i also feel that the remote doesnt tie in with the rest of the system as i feels a bit cheapish (not that i care about this anyway, i'm just telling you.) - would have prefered gold plated conections but all they have tried to do is keep the cost down to keep us cheap skates happy, and would'nt make much difference anyway apart from maybe getting a bit corroded in time. Having said that this unit uses proper high grade components, so they have put the money in where its needed most. On a personal note, i really do love this...

Amplify your Heart

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: The Dance Track.

...I bought this album ages ago, and today walked over to the CD rack and noticed it peering down at me: "Everything But The Girl, Amplified Heart". They say good music lasts forever, so why should a good album like this die, even if it was released in 1994. OK, first off. What is it? Is it pop? Rock? Dance? Well it's pretty slow, miserable music. But in a slow "he's left me" sort of way. It's probably pop if you were to caregorise. But I hate categorising. It's not the cheesy sort of Britney Aguilera does Madonna's greatest hits, but what music should be: from the heart, soulful and good. You may have heard of them, you may not have. But they have made albums all the way from 1984's 'Eden' up to 2000's 'Temperamental'. The biggest hit of the album is the 11th track, Missing (Todd Terry Club Mix). That was back then when house music...

Onkyo 606 with Kef 2005.2

Advantages: Wide range of features relative to cost
Disadvantages: Size

...I picked up the eagerly anticipated Onkyo 606 a few weeks ago; I have paired it with a KEF 2005.2 5.1 surround speakers, both in silver finish. I purchased both from A1 Audio based in Sheffield, who supplied direct to me in Glasgow. The Onkyo system replaces a Sony out of the box DVD/surround 5.1 system... and what a difference, just a totally different experience. I have hooked up the Onk with my PS3 via HDMI for gaming, DVDs & Blu-ray use. Am not gonna put anything on the spec of the 606 here, as that is pretty widely available elsewhere. Out of the box the 606 is pretty imposing, it is a large and weighty piece of kit, and feels well put together. As i said, it is big, really big, much more so than I appreciated when I ordered it, I had to remove a shelf from the tv stand to allow it to fit, still, that serves me right...

Review of Onkyo TX-SR606

Onkyo SR705

Advantages: Amazing connections amazing output
Disadvantages: Pricey, hard to set up if you don't know what's what

.... There is the 905 model with a built in streamer but i definately recommend a separate apple tv box plugged in via HDMI. This is a serious bit of kit and it could be seen as a tad expensive if your not that fussed about the zone play then i would go for the 605 model. However it does not matter which one you buy as onkyo swept the board when it comes to home cinema systems in What hifi what cinema etc. If you found this review helpful don't forget to say so...

Onkyo CS515. Very Good Quality, Let Down Slightly By The Speakers

Advantages: Impressive sound and build quality
Disadvantages: Standard speakers let it down

...I originally bought the CS515's cheeper little brother, the CS315, which is exclusive to Currys, and built down to a price for them, and it showed. The sound quality was only average for a £200 system, but there was a constant buzzing noise when playing CD's, I returned the item to Currys, and tested two more in the shop, both these did exactly the same. I then tried the CS515 at £300, there was an instant improvement in overall sound quality, and no buzzing from the CD player. I was a little reluctant to pay the extra £100, but felt the difference in sound quality was worth it. The unit itself has a CD player, FM/AM radio, DAB radio, and several inputs for Video, MP3 players etc. The speakers that come with the CS515 are Onkyo's DN9BX, nice looking maple, 2 way, bookshelf models, What Hi-Fi give them 5 stars, personally, I think 3...

Review of Onkyo CS-515

Onkyo TX-SR 606 receiver

Advantages: Cheap price, 4 HDMI inputs, and HD audio compliant.
Disadvantages: Not a lot!

...Hi ! The new onkyo TX-SR 606 is the best surround amp on the market for under £500 period. We borrowed one for a few weeks whilst our onkyo TX-SR 875 was being repaired. We bought our 875 last year for £999.99 and this new buget model is about 95% of the performance of the 875. It has 4 HDMI inputs and is HD audio and video compliant. It is easy to set up, and sounds fantastic with movies. We have used the HD video scaler and normal DVDs look vastly improved. The unit we borrowd was in black (it is available in silver also) and looked substantial and stylish. Regarding the sound it steers audio around the room fantastically and never seems to be trying too hard or sounding harsh at higher levels. Overall a brilliant buy....
