Sony KV-20FV10: A gem!

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 16:17:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - Last year my roommate and I decided to set up a home theater system. Since we had a small room and a relatively limited budget, we decided that a 20-27" TV would be best. Anything smaller than a 20" would have been too small, while at the other...

mmm....comfy...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - The MDR-V600's are a decent set of headphones, but they're nothing to write home about. My thoughts:

Executive Summary

The V600's are classified as "Studio Monitors," aimed at the higher-end market. They're more than...

Reference Studio/20 Speaker (Gold): Why Canada isn't useless

Tue, 16 May 2000 15:52:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - Paradigm has long been known for the quality and affordability of their speakers. The Canadian company has won the hearts of consumers and critics alike with incredible sonic quality at prices that are about 1/10th of what they should be (not that I...

sublime humor

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - Calvin and Hobbes was the premier comic strip of the late 1980's and early 90's. Created by Bill Watterson, Calvin is an utterly obnoxious yet somehow endearing 6 year-old; Hobbes is his sidekick tiger who magically comes to life when no one else is...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - Northwest was the first airline to bring jet service to my hometown. No longer did I have to fly in and out of town on the tiny, hamster-powered puddle jumpers that regional airlines are so fond of. The jets (DC9s) became immensely popular almost...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Powerbook G3-2000: Wow!

Sun, 7 May 2000 20:11:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - [This is a copy of the epinions I wrote in the other Powerbook G3 section. Since I wrote it, I have grown even more attached to the Powerbook....it's a fantastic computer.]

The new Powerbook G3-2000 (aka "Pismo") is the best...

Safe, versatile, kinda boring

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 14:46:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - First things first...if you need a safe car, buy a Subaru. I had the unique experience of watching one do a flip onto its back at 60MPH down a 20-foot embankment after the driver fell asleep. The only occupants (the driver and her dog) were scratched and...

SoundApp: Great no-frills sound playback

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 01:48:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - SoundApp isn't just an MP3 player. SoundApp can playback virtually any sound file; MP3 playback is actually a fairly recent addition to this years-old program. SoundApp is unique among MP3 players in that it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that...

Powerbook G3-2000: Wow!

Sun, 12 Mar 2000 01:14:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - The new Powerbook G3-2000 (aka "Pismo") is the best all-around computer I've ever used. With 18 years of computer experience, I've seen a few computers; some have come close, but in terms of a pleasant computing experience the Powerbook is...

Amazing VCR

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 18:50:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - This is the best VCR I have ever owned. I bought the predecessor (the 9500U) to play back some 3rd-generation video tapes that were in terrible shape. Most VCRs couldn't play back the tapes with any kind of picture or sound quality; the 9500, thanks to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - I'm a die-hard GnR fan, so I jumped at the chance to pick up "Welcome to the Videos." It's a fantastic collection of music videos from one of the greatest rock n' roll bands in the world. However, it's missing a few things.

This is power

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 01:42:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - Opiate is a lethal 6-song EP that will tear you apart, chew you up and spit you out. It is physically impossible to play songs like "Jerk-Off" loud enough....the combination of Danny Carey's super-tight drumming and frontman Maynard James...

Buy This Record!

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 00:56:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author smagoun - Guns n' Roses was the undoubtedly the greatest rock n' roll band of the 1980's and early '90s. This is their best record. The raw, untamed power of Axl Rose, Slash, and the rest of the crew turned the music world on its ear in a time when cheesy...
