The JBL BP300.1 packs a lot of power from a small package.

Mon, 2 Jul 2007 16:14:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I bought a used JBL BP300.1 because I thought I might add a sub to the stock stereo in my 2006 Civic Si. I remembered the good things I'd read about the BP300.1 and on www.sounddomain.com forums in 2001 and started looking for a small amp to power a...

What's that clicking? Oh it's my LCD TV

Tue, 22 May 2007 23:54:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - My 12 year old Sanyo 25" tube television became woefully inadequate after I bought a 42 inch plasma for my living room. I had been using the old Sanyo in my den but I just couldn't stand to watch it anymore and all too often my wife and I watch...

Record HDTV cheap!

Wed, 7 Mar 2007 16:22:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I bought the KWorld ATSC-110 to record over the air HDTV with BeyondTV. I chose the ATSC-110 because it was the least expensive BTV supported HD card. It even comes with a "light" version of BeyondTV. Installation The ATSC-110 installs like...

An HTPC case that has room for all your cards!

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 13:33:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I've had my media center computer housed in an old ATX tower case for a couple of years. It wasn't pretty, but it was functional. I decided to get a case that would blend in with the home theater better. I quickly discovered that many cases that are...

Espresso at home as good as (or better than) "4 bucks"

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 16:09:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I have become somewhat of a coffee snob in the last couple of years. I used to think that all coffee was the same, but now I know better. Along with my new appreciation came an expensive habit. I'd become addicted to the local coffee shop's lattes...

Digital channels with no recurring fees... from 40 miles away!

Sat, 23 Dec 2006 02:38:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I bought the Philips MANT950 as part of my maiden voyage into the world of home theater. I didn't want to pay the extra $20 per month that it cost to get HD programming from Dish Network just to watch CSI in high definition. I bought the MANT950 at...

The Buffalo WHR-G54S is a router anyone can use!

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 05:00:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - The Buffalo WHR-G54S is my third wireless router. My first router was a D-Link DI-514, which was good enough that I decided to get another D-Link product when I wanted to upgrade to 802.11g. The DI-524 was a piece of junk that rebooted itself at random...

Your home theater can't sound any better than this!

Thu, 7 Dec 2006 11:20:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I bought the LG LH-T9654S Home Theater in a box system to compliment my new 42 inch plasma TV. My friends told me that I couldn't get a nice TV and not have surround sound with it. I didn't want to spend a ton of money and I didn't want to have to become...

A radar detector that works and doesn't cost $400?!

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 15:46:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - The Beltronics 895 radar detector is sold exclusively by Radioshack. The original MSRP was $199, but it's been discontinued and is now clearance priced at $147. Get one while you can, they are getting hard to come by. FYI The Beltronics 895 is...

Could the Honda 919 be the best bike ever?

Wed, 18 Oct 2006 18:29:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I've had four bikes since 1990. My first was a Suzuki Katana, which I settled for because I couldn't find a CBR 600 F2. My next bike was a Honda Magna, I thought I'd outgrown the sportbike stage and decided to get a "power cruiser". I really liked the...

My first Mac, and I'm impressed!

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 14:43:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I've wanted to try a Mac for a long time, but I could never justify the cost of such a proprietary system. I've always used Intel based hardware and run operating systems including various Linux distributions and Windows. I lucked into my Macbook...

Network access in a pinch but not a long term solution

Thu, 12 Jan 2006 18:01:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I got the DWL-G122 when I moved to a new house that was not wired for a network. The DWL-G122 worked very well as long as the computer was being used. The range was exceptional, I always had a good connection on the opposite end of the house from my...

Creative Zen = Musical enlightenment

Wed, 28 Dec 2005 14:02:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - In November of 2005 one of my friends bought the leading mp3 player. He bragged on and on about how he always had his favorite music with him and how it changed the way he listens to music. I decided that I needed something bigger than the 4GB model...

Phillips automatic video selector takes the work out of playing video games

Fri, 16 Dec 2005 11:24:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I bought the Philips PH-61153 because I was always having to unplug the AV cables from the back of my TV when I wanted to change from the DVD player to the Hauppauge MediaMVP to the video game console, etc. The automatic video selector allows you to...

MediaMVP... well at least VP

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 20:00:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - MVP = Most Valuable Player unless you're talking about the Hauppauge MediaMVP, where it means Music, Video, Pictures. The MediaMVP allows you to view the aforementioned formats on a television. I bought the MediaMVP to compliment my BeyondTV DVR. I...

Husqvarna XP Lawn Tractors are the best value, bar none.

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 17:58:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - When I moved into my new house I knew that the 1.25 acre bermuda grass yard was way too much for my 20 year old Snapper 8hp. When I started looking at lawn tractors I had no idea that there was such a large range of features, quality, and prices...

Sun, 10 Jul 2005 11:23:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I'm just writing an "express" review of the A3. Everything the previous 3 reviewers noted is spot on. I was thoroughly impressed with the responsiveness of the little 4 cylinder and the handling was great. You absolutely have to try out the DSG...

Corrosion of Conformity - searching for a style.

Fri, 8 Jul 2005 17:55:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I'm a HUGE fan of Corrosion of Conformity, have been since the early 90's when I heard Blind for the first time. As such a fan, when I heard that COC had a new album (around 3pm the day after it came out) I was useless for the rest of the day. I...

Keep up with traffic with your Cobra Handheld CB.

Tue, 30 Nov 2004 01:02:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I grew up in the era of the CB. I remember both of my parents having them in their vehicles and even having a "base" with an amp that distorted the picture on the television... ah the glory days of the citizens band! Fast forward 20 years, my good...

ATI ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 7500 64MB AGP DDR W/REMOTE: Jack of all trades, master of a few.

Fri, 12 Nov 2004 15:08:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - The AIW 7500 is a great multimedia card. The TV tuner and DVD player work flawlessly. The TV out is among the best in the business. Because it's designed to do everything it falls a little short in the graphics performance department. If you're a...

Great range, this remote is a wonder

Tue, 19 Oct 2004 11:26:47 GMT

Jump from PC to PC with ease!

Sat, 17 Jul 2004 09:41:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - This may be the shortest review I've ever written. There just isn't much involved in using the Jump Drive sport! First of all, the JD Sport is internally the same as the plain version, the only real difference is that it has a rubber cap and...

Best sounding pipes for the Magna

Wed, 2 Jun 2004 01:23:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - I've got a Honda Magna. I recently upgraded my exhaust after attempting to drill out the baffles on my stock pipes. The drilled pipes sounded like a bumble bee buzzing at highway speeds, I was better off with the pipes the way they came from the...

Work on your motorcycle? Get this jack!

Thu, 1 Apr 2004 14:01:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cspu - Anyone that works on their own motorcycle will eventually have a need to get if off the ground. You could fabricate your own way, but I'm too afraid of my engineering skills so I bought the Craftsman Motorcycle Lift. Features and Controls The...
