Z-Line Vitoria Flat Panel TV Stand Review

I was ready to buy this stand from Amazon and guess what? I ran into it at Wal-mart for $159. It comes in a
different box labeled Home Trends, the glass shelves are clear / not black but everything else is the same.
The instructions are labeled Z-line - yep, it's the real thing. All the other positive things said in other
reviews are true. BTW - it handled my new 65 inch Sharp LCD just fine. Only assembly problem was "bottom pad"
screw holes - needed to run a drill bit through as the screw holes didn't exactly line up. That's my story
and I'm stickin to it.

Logisys RGB Red/Green/Blue 5 LED Lazer Light 5LED Neon MOD PC Computer light Ultra Super Bright Review

Logisys RGB Red/Green/Blue 5 LED Lazer Light 5LED Neon MOD PC Computer light Ultra Super Bright
Average Reviews:

I bought two of these five-LED light bars -- a red and a multicolor -- one for each of my PCs, and they are great! I had a lot of fun trying to place them where they would have the greatest effect. My Dell XPS has a large case and plenty of room inside, so I could have placed it almost anywhere. I finally perched the multicolored light so it that it shines out through the rear grillwork. At night it casts a wide, brilliant beam on the wall across it. I was surprised at the brilliance and the mixture of colors, which were diffused by the holes in the grill.
Installing the red light bar was a challenge, however, because my Dell Inspiron's case is cramped inside and, unlike the XPS, the rear of the PC is 10 inches away from the wall and under a desk. The best placement was in the grillwork in the lower front, perched atop an intake fan I had installed to increase air flow. The light brightened the dull front of the PC.
I recommend these lights, the use of which is only limited by your imagination.

The Super Bright 5 LED fixture spreads a fan-shaped lighting pattern. It provides nearly twice the light of the 3 LED fixtures on the market. The body of the spreader is beautifully chromed with a male and a female 12 volt 4 pin plugs. It is bright enough to light up the whole computer case, spot light any objects in your computer or to be modified for any home decoration and other DIY applications.

Power Acoustik XP-653K 6.5-Inch Three-Way Full Range Speaker Review

Power Acoustik XP-653K 6.5-Inch Three-Way Full Range Speaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Power Acoustik XP-653K 6.5" speakers are a a huge step up from last years model (XP2K series). Every part of the speaker is better. The surround is a soft rubber than gives the speaker a longer lifespan and not foam like last years, the cone is stiffer, but could even be stiffer, and the voice coil is stronger. Power Acoustik changed from the electromagnet to a "regular style" magnet and this magnet is very strong when compared to other speakers in a $40-120 price range. The tweeters are silk domed and not plastic like the XP2K's. Also the basket is coated with a tough bed liner type material.
The Power Acoustik XP-653K XP 6.5" speakers sound so much better than last years XP2K, they even sound better than JL Audio's 6.5"s (JL Audio's don't produce enough highs), Toyota Tundra JBL System (JBL's don't produce enough highs, but have a lot more bass) and Alpine Type-S (not as clean sounding) series speakers. The mid bass is smooth, but the speaker does need more Xmax so the cone can travel further. The tweeters sound fantastic, not to bright, and you're able to hear so much more detail in a song, recording, or movie.
Just so everyone knows powering these with just the CD/DVD head unit will not make these speakers sound great. I'm using a Power Acoustik BAMF 1200/4 4-way amp. The BAMF1200/4 is sending 100 watts to each speaker and they sound so much better compared to when I was powering them with 50 watts each. Make sure your amp is 100 to 200 watts at 4 ohms with a Signal-to-Noise Ratio from 95 to 100 for best results.

Overall it's a great sounding and very attractive (the grill is ok) speaker, but I can't give it more than 4 out of 5 for performance because of the bass when I compared these to the JBL's. Power Acoustik really needs to increase the speakers cone travel.

The Sharper Image EC-A130 Hardwood Speaker System for iPhone/iPod Review

The Sharper Image EC-A130 Hardwood Speaker System for iPhone/iPod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I give this item 5 stars for the price. The build quality of the hardwood is very good, and it looks great in the living room. I have a Sony Dream Machine (ICFCS10iP), and the audio quality of the EC-A130 is noticeably better especially at the lower end (great bass). Also, there seems to be a better incremental range in the volume. With the Sony, level 4 is too quiet, and level 5 is too loud. This was particularly annoying when working directly in front of the device. I'm picky, so your experience may differ. If I were to have a criticism, it would be that the remote has a plastic feel (perfectly comparable to the Sony). I did test the remote at over 30+ feet. It functioned normally.

A wonderful instrument, whatever the price. No problems with the strings that came with it (they just needed a little tuning), the action, the bridge, anything. I would highly recommend this mandolin for beginners.

About Oscar Schmidt Musical InstrumentsThe Oscar Schmidt Company was founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1911. By the early 1900s, the company had five factories in Europe and a factory on Ferry Street in Jersey City. They made all kinds of stringed instruments, guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, zithers, and Autoharps.
The company prospered through the early 1920s. Oscar Schmidt instruments were sold in many rural parts of the country where no music stores existed. Salesmen distributed the products far and wide, making them available in general, small town furniture and dry goods stores. Country guitar pickers and blues musicians living in areas of the South and in Appalachia, far from the city, frequently played Oscar Schmidt instruments because they were both inexpensive and available locally. But equally important, they were often chosen solely on merits of their superior tone and volume.
Today at Oscar Schmidt, premium woods, quality hardware and modest prices create an ideal instrument. Each is inspected and adjusted in the USA by a skilled technician, your assurance for smooth fret ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality. Unequalled standards in easy playing comfort and tone response creates the perfect value... Oscar Schmidt.

I have instructed drivers in Time Trial events with this unit, and have found it very useful. This is the lowest price I've seen.
One word of caution though -- when shutting down, don't pull the headset out of your helmet, take your helmet off with the headset in it still and plenty of slack on the wires. Pulling the headset out of your helmet tends to weaken then seperate the wires in the earpiece, and this happens quickly.
