Audio RCA Kazoo ReviewConsumers have been assaulted by the overly competitive MP3 player marketplace in recent months and very little has made its way to stand out in the forefront. However, to some avail a few MP3 players still using built-in memory or smart media cards have made a name for themselves due to their advantage of being smaller and furthermore trendy. These smaller portable devices are easy to tuck away and forget about but yet are able to retain the same qualities of common portable CD players and larger MP3 players.January 23rd, 2002
 Kenwood DPC-MP922 Portable MP3 CD Player ReviewWe all know MP3's are here to stay even with the fall of the once popular Napster. But do MP3 CD players have what it takes to stick around with the new devices out there today? I'm thinking about the iPod and Nomad in particular. These 2 devices have changed the landscape of MP3 playing, in the portable sense.January 17th, 2002
 Digisette DUO-64 MP3 Player ReviewTo most, being two-faced is an undesirable trait to have. However, in the Digisette Duo-64s case, it is more than a welcomed attribute. The Duo-64 functions both as a personal MP3 player and a self-contained MP3 cassette adapter all in one.December 19th, 2001
 Terratec M3Po Go MP3/CD Player ReviewAs another contender in the MP3/CD player market, TerraTec approaches as a relative newcomer.

  Echo Audio MIA Soundcard ReviewA little known fact about the world of computer audio is there is a distinct difference between audiocards and soundcards; the most notable of which is the quality of analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. That is, the quality of playing back and recording audio on a computer with an emphasis on the latter.October 24th, 2001
 Olympus DM-1 Digital Voice RecorderUnlike most other units, the Olympus DM-1 digital voice recorder and music player is actually targeted at corporate consumers, moving away from the already densely populated mainstream MP3 market. It is touted as a voice recorder, first, setting its sights at dictation oriented consumers.October 1st, 2001
 Xitel DG2 MDPort ReviewAficionados and stalwart supporters of the MiniDisc format have long been using their MDs to record MP3 compilations but until now the options were limited to either analogue recording, or else digital recordings on soundcards equipped with digital outputs. Sure, the superb Xitel AN1 gave astoundingly clear transfers in spite of being an analogue recording device, but some audiophiles and enthusiasts insist on digital recordings.September 21st, 2001
 Olympus DW-90 Digital Voice Recorder ReviewWhen I first put my hands on the new Olympus DW-90 digital voice recorder I have to admit that I was a little skeptical. I was more familiar associating Olympus with cameras than digital recorders. And second, I didnt fully understand why anyone would want to spend money on a digital recorder over just a regular cheap tape recorder?September 12th, 2001
 SONICblue Riovolt ReviewDesigned with a futuristic flare, the Riovolt is sleek in its silver and blue colour scheme. The main controls are all located on the top face of the player.

 Samsung Yepp YP-NDU ReviewThe new year has come and gone, and with it are a new generation of different MP3 portable players. Some of you may recall that Samsung was one of the first companies to produce a high-end player several months ago, when they introduced their Yepp E64 player. Because the E64 was such a beautiful and impressive player, we were eager to see what innovations its successor, the YP-NDU, would bring to the masses.April 25th, 2001
 Polk AMR 150 ReviewLast time we took a look at the Polk AMR90 and found it to be an able budget 4.1 set that fell somewhat short of expectations with muffled upper end performance. Now Polk Audio, ever the perfectionists, have released their latest 4.1 speakers, the AMR150, which promises to deliver all the goods at the still comfy price of $149.99.March 1st, 2001
 AIWA CDC-MP3 ReviewWith the boom of MP3 usage in the past couple of years, its no wonder that manufacturers are migrating pre-existing audio products from conventional means to support MP3s and other audio files. Companies are ever-trying to make their portable MP3 players smaller, lighter, and compliant with larger memory sources with each product they release. During the race to create the ultimate portable audio device, manufacturers have developed a way to incorporate MP3 compliancy with traditional portable CD players, allowing one compose a CD (CD-R/CDRW) with the capacity of writing 650/800MB worth of music in MP3 format. Youll never run out of songs to listen to again!February 12th, 2001
 Turtle Beach Santa Cruz ReviewThe last few months have brought with them some sweeping changes to the sound card market in the form of cards that handle 6 speaker output. Aureal and Creative battled it out during the era when quadraphonic sound was king, and though Aureal is now gone, the struggle in the sound card market continues on...February 7th, 2001

 Boostaroo Personal Audio Amplifier/Splitter ReviewSometimes some of the most popular inventions are also some of the simplest solutions to common problems. Thats what the Boostaroo really is, a very simple, and cost effective solution to a simple problem: the limitations of audio amplifiers in portable audio. If you have a very active outdoor lifestyle, or if you travel a lot and use your portable audio player in a noisy environment, youre already familiar with the problem.January 25th, 2001
 Polk AMR90 ReviewIm somewhat of a fiend when it comes to speakers. I see a pair that looks interesting or that has attracted some buzz, and I want to test them out myself. A while ago Polk Audio introduced their first multimedia speaker systems, and these were really good looking systems that I wanted to try straight away. Well I never got a chance to try those speakers first hand, though now I have the chance to try one of the newest additions to Polk Audios lineup. The AMR90 is a brand new 4.1 surround system that costs just a hair above $100.January 17th, 2001

 Philips Acoustic Edge PSC 706 ReviewThe Acoustic Edge is powered by Philips own SAA7785 ThunderBird Avenger DSP chip. This audio accelerator can process 256 sounds simultaneously and actually offloads digital mixing and Directsound processing from your CPU. This becomes important when you consider that the card has some sophisticated features that would otherwise put added stress on your system.December 7th, 2000
 Monsoon MH-500 Flatpanel Speaker ReviewMonsoon is one of the most amazing multimedia speaker companies that I can possibly name. This is a company that has produced two very fine flat panel speaker systems using their planar focus technology. If youve read my reviews of the first two speakers to use Monsoons planar focus technology, you will know that the results are often amazingly clear and clean audio quality, precision soundstage reproduction, and superb instrument placement.November 3rd, 2000
 Nike Personal Sport Audio Play 120 ReviewNow that the MP3 craze is reaching feverish pitches, it seems like everyone and their brother is getting into the market with portable players. Nike, ever the savvy marketer, isnt about to let this go without introducing a portable player of their own.November 2nd, 2000
 Guillemot Maxi Sound MUSE ReviewThe sound card market has been going through some interesting changes, the foremost of which is the introduction of new players in a market that is primarily dominated by Creative Labs. When Aureal came about with their Vortex chip, literally a dozen companies started to produce quality sound cards that became truly viable and competitive alternatives to the Sound Blaster line of cards.October 24th, 2000
 Midiland S4 7100 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers ReviewA few months ago we took a look at the MidiLand S4 4060 3 piece speakers, the first set of the new S4 family of speakers from a company that has a reputation as one of the finer multimedia speaker manufacturers. The S4 was to continue a tradition set by the famous S2 premium line, while competing against a generation of lower priced speakers. The S4 7100 continues the S4 line as its 5.1 surround sound solution, a solution that is closely tied to the S4 4060 set because both sets are based around the exact same satellites.October 11th, 2000
