Sony XDR-S3HD AM/FM Radio
The Most "Classically Beautiful" HD Radio Ever Made? (Sony's Model XDR-S3HD)
by henry_thoreau
Pros: Remote. Headphone jack. Digital-stereo AM & FM local broadcasts. Incredible sound (for a 2.8-watts-per-channel clock_radio).
Cons: Long-discontinued; coveted by collectors (hence pricey when available). Slight fan noise. Limited "backup" memory. Hard-wired/oversized_AC-adapter.
Sony's uniquely styled 2007 Model XDR-S3HD HD radio is, in many respects, functionally identical to its outwardly different-looking 2008 successor, the XDR-S10HDiP. In fact, you ...

Olympus VN-7200 (2048 MB, 19 Hours) Handheld Digital Voice Recorder
What happens on this recorder, stays on this recorder.
by chelledun
Pros: Easy to work; Good sound quality; Batteries last a long time.
Cons: No USB connectivity; Case isn't so great.

by wychic
Pros: Very nice picture, small learning curve, a number of picture quality options.
Cons: Need an external microphone for decent sound, short battery life.
The Kodak Zi8 camcorder is one of the top choices in the lower- to mid-level digital camcorder market. It allows you to shoot clear, professional-looking picture in high definition, but with relatively few bells and whistles to master. Its top features ...

Pros: Price! Easy! Flat candy! Great features for the money! Nice Navigation!
Cons: Texting keys can be a bit awkward for large hands.
I am basically an old timer audio hobbyist with an ear for perfection that cares to dabble in the "Techie" stuff from time to time.  Over the past eight years I have made it my religious duty to try various cell phones and carriers to see which ones ...

This isn't really the best condenser out there. In fact, the Perception 170 looks like yet another cheap Chinese SDC. You know what that means: peak around 10 KHz, cold, tinny sound. This was one of the first SDCs bought, and it hasn't found much use on ...
