review of hercules mp3 djay control

Advantages: easy to install and understand, very cheap, good features very small and portable
Disadvantages: No headphone jack, space slightly cramped with buttons, requires seperate sound card for cueing

...supplied with the virtual dj software which basicaly works like your top end mp3 mixing softwares such as final scratch by stanton. on screen you see two turntables where you can load up a song on each, there is a virtual mixer on screen allowing you to fade between tracks like the real thing, the software can be used on its own and when you hook up the unit you get a more realistic hands on dj feel. The company claim that it can be used to perform mixing and scratching like the real thing but i personally found the jog wheels being very small and hard to keep track of what your doing and also the cross fader being very close in proximity means you are likely to knock it as you move the wheels making tight cuts very difficult although i found there to be little or no latency between the movement of the wheel and the representation of that in...

Pioneer DEH-30 MP

Advantages: Good sound quality, loads of features
Disadvantages: Chrome effect peels from around volume control

...Pioneer DEH-30 MP I bought this car stereo around 2 years ago for my car as I wanted something that sounded better than the standard stereo. I bought mine from Motor-mania for around £150.LCD blue screen and reads out what ever it is playing at the time. I think it has really good quality sound even when the volume is on high. It plays any CDs including MP3 and even ones that are slightly scratched play just as well on this CD player. Features MP3/WMA Playback with ID3 Tag CD-R/CD-RW Compatible Aux Input 3 Band parametric equalizer Selectable loudness feature Dual Pre-outs It also has traffic announcement features, preset channel memory and auto/manual frequency search. It came with a handy remote control so that even passengers in the back can pick what to have on the stereo. This stereo can also be...

Canon Pixma MP600

Advantages: High quality printing, quiet and looks good
Disadvantages: Expensive ink, as always

...ugly in an industrial way but that was a popular style a few years back. It produced pretty good document and photo prints and the scanner was adequate for documents but not of a standard to copy photos. When coming to choose a new printer these were the characteristics I was interested in. It had to print to a high standard, the scanner needed to be better and I didn't want it to look like an ugly lump of corporate kit with attachments falling off all the time. Despite painfully setting up the fax functionality first time round I have never received or sent a fax using the HP, in fact I don't think I've faxed anything this century so that functionality was dispensable. At a snifter under £100 the Canon Pixma MP600 packs a lot of quality into an attractively designed package. Ignoring any pointless fax functionality it concentrates...

Teac reference 300 - best mini system under £1000

Advantages: Great Sound, Great Looks, Great Price
Disadvantages: Remotes a bit cheap, no USB port,

...Having been in the market to downsize my old hi fi for something more compact, I've settled on the Teac reference 300 mkIII with DAB tuner. Its a 3 box system as opposed to the other smaller one box systems manufactured by Teac and others such as Denon, Arcam and Onkyo. As such, although being larger, it is more user friendly to use and has more power at 45 wpc RMS. At around £500 rrp it stands up favourably in price to the Arcam Solo Mini and comes in silver or black finish with machined aluminium fronts and a classy blue display on each unit. It actually appears slightly retro in appearance although the remotes are a bit cheap looking. The silver units can be found for as little as £349 without speakers so its quite a bargain. Sound quality for such a small unit is really clear and well defined with a warm bass typical of Teac...

Review of Teac REF 300 DAB MK III

Canon MP620 All in one Printer

Advantages: Excellent Phot prints, excellent scanning, wireless capability
Disadvantages: Slightly bulky, wireless can be tricky to set up

...I bought this printer a few months ago to replace an old hp all in one which had lasted for a long time and sadly the print quality had diminished. With a large amount of options on the market I shopped around and came across the Canon MP620. It seemed to have all the features I was after including scanning, printing, card reader, photocopyer and wireless networking. Please note there are 2 other similar models in the range and as far as I know the MP610 is older and not wireless but slightly cheaper. Alternatively the MP630, which is more expensive is also not wireless but is faster in producing more prints per minute. So far, since using it I can report that the MP620 is an excellent all round printer. Great quality prints and excellent scanning makes it perfect for my needs. The wireless networking took a little time to setup...

My Unbiased review of the Teac CRL600

Advantages: Compact, yet Powerful
Disadvantages: None

...After re-aranging our lounge a decision was made that the black clunky stacking hi-fi had to go, so a search on the internet and a visit to the Richer Sounds website led me initially to the Denon DM31. I visited my local Richer sounds shop in Norwich the following day with the intention of purchasing a Denon, but a very helpful assistant informed me if I was to run powerful speakers such as mine (Bose Acoustimass 5) I would be better off with the Teac CRL600 with a higher wattage. I hesitated as I had no info on this model, but decided to go with it when he assured me if I wasnt happy I could return it within 14days. I plugged it all in at home and WOW I was very impressed. Far superior than my stacking ugly system. This unit sits beneath my tv ontop of the DVD player and looks well at home. The audio quality from the CD and radio is...

Canon mp220 - good printer but unreliable

Advantages: 3 functions, borderless printing
Disadvantages: unreliable and not durable

...was decent - the ability to scan and photocopy as well as print was a bonus. The quality of prints was good although not excellent as far as photo quality is concerned. The MP220 was also capable of borderless printing which is an advantage that many other printers do not have. The printer takes one colour cartridge and one black one (the numbers 40 and 41 are the high capacity cartridges). All in all although when the printer worked it was half decent, the reliability and durability issues make it, in my opinion, not a worthwhile purchase....

  Canon Pixma mp 460 - Fantastic all in one

Advantages: lcd display, durability, optional Bluetooth connection, qualitys, speed, design, functionality, rich software, reliability
Disadvantages: could be litle smaller

.... Just think for a second and ask yourself a question. How would it be to have a scanner, printer and photocopy machine in one device? I had like this about year ago and it is not comfortable. You occupy only USB ports, have more cables behind and less room for anything on a desk. Cannon came across with Pixma mp460. This quite medium sizes device is brilliant and quality breath taking. Printed a number of pictures with it on an Ilford glossy photo paper and could not believe that they look so great. Printed previously some pictures from Snappy Snaps and there was absolutely no difference. First what I can truly tell is that all information's I give you come from my experience only. I own this device so my review is going to be as close to reality as only possible. I have got it 9 months already. Let's start. Display Very...

Review of Canon Pixma MP460

MP99 - Unleash the beast.

Advantages: Great power and control. Nice paint work.
Disadvantages: Price to some, and time to adjust to it.

...SIMPLE ROUND UP FOR PEOPLE WITH SOME BASIC BADMINTON KNOWLEDGE POSTED AT THE BOTTOM AS A ADD-ON Yonex - Manufacturer Muscle Power 99 - Model Muscle Power (MP) - Range This is a badminton racket before we start looking at anything, and being honest its for advanced players, and used by quite a lot of international players, and was even the choice of men's singles champion Lin Dan of China for a long time. If you are new to badminton ill try to explain the technical jargon as best I can, but the first things you will need to know is that Yonex are the Microsoft of the badminton world. The muscle power range of rackets currently contains MP99 (muscle power), MP88, MP44, MP29LT, MP25P and MP21. The MP21 being the lowest, cheapest and thus most budget of the range. The MP99 on the other hand being the top of the range, most...

Review of Yonex MP99

Canon MP610 multifunction printer

Advantages: No seperate scanner unit. Seperate ink cartridges.
Disadvantages: you have buy your own bluetooth dongle.

...This printer/scanner has just replaced my MP460 which was next to useless and was sent back to the shop. So before bringing this one home I asked to see a demonstration of its abilities. I was suprised when the shop said "yes ok". After that I decided it was right for me. On getting it home, the unit was well boxed up and would be safe if you chucked it into your boot to travel home. Everything on the unit that would be loose or moved about were fastened down with what looks like orange tape keeping it in place. When it is on the desktop it looks quite chuncky but not out of place. It is finnished in silver and black plastic but does not look cheap. The first thing I did was to load the drivers and extra features for the scanner into my computer. This actually took 25 minutes altogether. There seems to be a lot of software...
