Entry Level ES SACD player is a winner

Wed, 6 Nov 2002 05:21:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - I opted for the SCD-C222ES for a variety of reasons, with the 5 year ES warranty being near the top of the list. The frame and beam construction is superior to the typical methods used on audio components in this price range and helps to reduce...

WingspanBank.com is good, but could be better.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - Updated 04/19/2002

Wingspan has been absorbed into BankOne. In short BankOne offers none of the benefits, higher minimum balances, and more fees. I closed my BankOne account.

I opened a Wingspan account roughly...

Packs a punch, but buy your own remote

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 03:55:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - I've got one of these with a pair of Magnepan MMGs, a Magnepan MCC1 in the center, a Velodyne FXR-1800, and a pair of random Infinity bookshelves as my temporary rears.

It's really nice to be able to just turn the volume knob and hear the...

Discover Card is great for online banking

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 01:43:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - I see a lot of notes about this card's high interest rates, but I don't see many comments about their fantastic online banking capabilities, so I thought that needed some coverage.

I signed up for a Discover Card several years ago. Being new...

Wingspan Platinum Visa is not Platinum, it's black!

Fri, 21 Apr 2000 01:17:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - Updated 04/19/2002

This update is long overdue, but Wingspan was absorbed by their parent company BankOne in November of last year. They replaced my Wingspan Platinum with a Bank One eCard which is basically the same thing. Most of the same...

MBNA Online is below the bar

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 19:28:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - I selected my MBNA Visa card about 5 years ago, because they offered an Alumni Association card that was affiliated with my school. This decision was primarily motivated by the fact that the card looked pretty cool and there was no annual fee. At the...

Good bang for the buck

Sun, 16 Apr 2000 08:08:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - I bought a pair of these headphones about 7 or 8 years ago for a hair under $90. They are still going strong under near daily use. Originally designed to help me ignore my nagging parents (way back then), they now serve to shutout ambient office noise...

Magneplanar MMG: A great speaker at a great price

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 22:42:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JWan - If you have never heard a planar speaker before, you should really go out to your local high end audio shop and try out a pair. You'll be amazed at the sound that comes out of the high-end electrostatics and other Magnepans, but probably balk at their...
