Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $1399.00 from Pro Sound Stage Ligh

Summary:
As a moblie DJ I was very excited when I purchased the HDCD 1 from Pro Sound and Stage Lighting. I was able to load the software and drag songs to the harddrive with no problems at all. Putting songs in specific catagories
was also very easy. After downloading 1800 songs I decided to take it along at my next wedding. I plugged in the keyboard and began to search for songs using only a few letters.Every song with those letters in it came up. i was able to find the song I wanted and it was loaded in seconds. Within the first 30 minutes I felt very comfortable using the HDCD1. It was amazing. After using it for approx. 4 weddings I encountered my first problem. After searcing for and loading a song to be played I hit the play button and the song would not play. The screen went into "freeze mode" and I was forced to turn off the player and turn it back on. It happened again at the next 3 weddings I did which is unacceptable if you are a bride. I sent the unit back to Numark. They sent me a brand new one and I had the same problem again. I just mailed back the HDCD! again

Strengths:
Searching for songs is very easy and faster then seraching for CD's
If the system works properly you can leave your CD's home
I think that if the problem that I am having is corrected the system is a great idea for DJ's who do not feel comfortable using a labtop system.

Weaknesses:
When you have hard drive problems like screens freezing up there are no solutions written in the user guide.

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

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.....

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.
