Review 3 of 9

Price Paid:  $20.00

Summary:
Works great when you set the codes right. Like most universal remotes these days, you need to be able to read, be willing to read the instructions, and perhaps need some native intelligence to set it up for non-RCA devices.

Reading some of the other reviews, it appears those reviewers were missing some of the above. (I'm amazed how often in Internet product reviews, people blame the product for their own shortcomings.)

Strengths:
Controlling RCA devices.

Weaknesses:
Like nearly all universal remotes, this unit requires care to configure for devices other than the pre-programmed ones.

Review 4 of 9

Summary:
After hours of trying to program this thing, we were only able to get it to operate the TV and a few functions of the VCR. However, if you bump it even lightly, it loses it's program and you have to start over. Worthless piece of junk.

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
