A beautiful progressive scan DVD player

Wed, 2 Oct 2002 18:58:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - Most everything about this player has been covered in one review or another, but I thought I would weigh in with a summary view. I replaced a Denon multi-DVD player (about a $700 model, can't remember number) with this after the Denon broke down. Since...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - Well, I cannot say that this is really a bad tire. But it isn't anything to award blue ribbons to or to install on a truly high performance automobile. I have had two sets of these tires on my Volvo V70 T-5 wagon and have been moderately please with...

uBid Online Auction: No problems, yet?

Thu, 21 Feb 2002 22:49:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - I have been an occasional browser and buyer of products sold on UBid for over a year. I would estimate that I have completed 6-8 transactions in that time, a range of things from an LCD monitor to a in-shower Radio/CD Player (refurbished). While I...

Florist.com: Extremely disappointing quality/service

Sat, 16 Feb 2002 16:46:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - I have utilized Florist.com twice, both because I was enticed by a $10 off certificate, I believe. Both times I have been disappointed.

First, the value for the pricing of their product is poor -- bouquets are relatively small compared to...

Good for vacation, but not for business...

Thu, 10 Jan 2002 22:37:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - Well, what to say about this place. I have stayed here off and on over the past four years, always for business and rarely for more than two nights, usually just one at a time. I am a very frequent domestic and international traveler and...

A nice alternative to cramped Manhattan hotel rooms, BUT...

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 14:30:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - Hmm, where to start. I stumbled onto this property as it is one of our firm-approved Manhattan hotels. I had heard bad things about the W chain from a business traveler's perspective, but after reviewing the W web site regarding The Tuscany, it...

Paradigm Reference Studio/80 Speaker: Paradigm Reference 80 v2's = Home A/V Bliss!

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 02:46:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - While searching for mains for my new home media room, the main manufacturers I considered in my range (based on various friend's recommendations and reading) were Paradigm Reference, Atlantic Technology THX systems and various Monitor configurations...

TransCon Business Elite vs. others...& airline general

Wed, 7 Feb 2001 14:26:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - As you will note from my other airline reviews, I fly most frequently on United, but in the past year have had more flights on Delta airlines (all domestic) and I wanted to share my thoughts.

General Thoughts on Delta

Don't be fooled by the looks of this seat...

Tue, 6 Feb 2001 13:48:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - If you've come this far, you have a pretty good sense of what I am going to say. And if you know me from my other reviews, I will be forthright.

We have had a number of these Eddie Bauer children's carseats, in two different designs. We also...

Ooofah! Who needs a sleep aid?

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 00:03:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - Well, just got back from the D&D movie and boy oh boy was that a mistake, even for a matinee price of $5.75. About ten people in the theatre total for this masterpiece, all of them looking like they are the type that did (or still actively do) play...

Rock solid -- An exceptional home theatre performer!

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 04:48:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - It is really difficult, with out A/B type tests in your listening area, to truly test the quality of an amplifier versus the competition. I base most of my comments regarding the Yamaha DSP-A1 from my comparative tests when I was shopping for an...

DVM-3700 -- Jury still out on this one, but not great so far

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 04:15:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - UPDATE 2/20/2001: Enjoy the review below, but also not that this thing just died a big death and is in the shop, with freezes on discs, sudden jumps from disk to disk, and a noisy mechanism. Argh!

Short of copper, there is nothing better!

Tue, 28 Nov 2000 04:32:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - I have been a long-time user of the traditional style Caphalon frying and saute pans, as well as an owner of a couple of their non-stick models. I have also used at friends some high-quality and high-cost copper pans. The non-stick Caphalon models have...

An unbelievable course (bring lots of balls)!

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 04:47:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - Just played a fantastic round (well, the scenery and course was fantastic, my play certainly was not) at the Rio Secco golf club. I had heard about this place again and again, especially because I often stay at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas and it is...

Threw it away after three puffs...

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 04:45:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - I will readily admit that this will not be my most prolific or significant Epinion, be it on a cigar or any other product. This is such a bad cigar (and I could only stand a few puffs) that I really don't have an in depth analysis to present to you...

Great club, pretty course and it won't kick your butt!

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 05:35:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - First and foremost, I will tell you about the nice course at La Cumbre (there is only one at this club), but then I will tell you a little bit about the club itself, as the facilities at a private club can be as important as the course itself. I have...

My favorite hotel in the United States!

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 02:14:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - I have had a long-time love affair with this hotel, having been a guest there well over 100 times (and once staying there every week for more than a year) in a period spanning more than ten years. I can say without a doubt that this is my favorite hotel...

MGM Grand: The MGM -- Not Great, but Predictable

Mon, 23 Oct 2000 03:31:05 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - I am definitely torn as how to rate the MGM Grand as a hotel and/or a casino. I have stayed there a number of times (last time was about a year ago), and the only thing I can say is that it is a consistent experience. Whether it is the...

The Milestone Hotel: A pleasant surprise!

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 01:13:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - All I can say about this place is wow! My wife and I stopped in London on our way back from a recent European vacation. We selected The Milestone because it was one of the nice hotels in London that were available through the American Express...

An exceptional hotel, a not so exceptional casino...

Sun, 15 Oct 2000 20:50:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - I have stayed at Bellagio three times in the past two years, twice for business and once for pleasure. The first time was during the first Comdex right after Bellagio opened. Contrary to other Vegas hotel openings, everything seemed to be running...

Great rooms, great casino, hot "talent" - love the Hard Rock

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 01:54:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - The Hard Rock Hotel is by far and away, my favorite place to stay, gamble and drink in Las Vegas. The Hard Rock is not on the strip (really not a big problem unless you are some psychotic tourist)and I preferred the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino before...

Hayman Island Resort: Probably the BEST resort experience of my life!

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 00:51:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - We went to Hayman Island resort, albeit a few years ago, and I can resolutely say that it is the most luxurious and spectacular resort I have ever visited or are likely to visit (and I have seen a lot of them). It is certainly very expensive, but worth...

Simple and effective bill management/payment

Wed, 4 Oct 2000 02:43:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author led_zec - Against my wife's wishes, who prefers to handle bills the old fashioned way, I chose to investigate and take a chance at trying an online bill payment service. For some time, I had occasionally used the on-line bill payment service provided by our bank,...
