Review 2 of 19

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Creative Nomad II SUCKS - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!! - -Where do I start?- The FM tuner only works when standing next to the Radio Broadcast Station. I live in a downtown area close to several radio stations and this thing will not hold a complete signal for more than two seconds unless I'm standing next to the Radio Broadcast Station. -NEXT- The cheap little buttons break far too easily, I have pushed in a couple of buttons by just simply touching them. Once they are pushed in they become unuseable. -NEXT- Tech support is a FU$#ING JOKE! I waited for two and a half hours until some kid picked me up, only to have no knowledge behind this product. The Supervisor was a twenty four year old with less knowledge. BTW, this support call is long distance at your expence. -NEXT- I suggest everyone BOYCOTT Creative Labs and thier shotty products and lack of service. -DO NOT BUY CREATIVE LABS PRODUCTS-

Review 3 of 19

Price Paid:  $280.00 from online store

Model Reviewed:
Nomad II

Summary:
I bought this particular MP3 player because it's one of the few that include FM radio. It's also the perfect size for runners -- and that's how I primarily use it -- sports-related activities. It's been great in all aspects except one: the remote control wires/headphone wires aren't that great. I had to replace them in less than a year. Also I have occasional trouble with it not turning on -- and I suspect it has to do with sweat trickling down into the components. Of course I didn't expect it to be waterproof, but I do wish some one out there would make a MP3 player that will withstand a decent amount of sweat without going to pot in a few months.

Strengths:
- FM radio
- lightweight -- great for sports activities
- storage capability

Weaknesses:
- headphone/remote wires don't hold up well under stress
- should be more water-resistant (sweat-resistant), but under normal, non-sweaty conditions, probably fine

Review 4 of 19

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Micro Center

Summary:
With features like Voice Recording, Radio Playback, Radio Recording, and MP3 and WMA support this tiny litle unit has everything I need.

More than once I've sat on, laid down on, dropped, etc. this player (the II MG) while working out and never have I experienced even a hint of a problem.

And the WMA support makes a big difference, as a WMA encoded at 64kbps sounds almost as good (and more than good enough for a work-out)as an MP3 encoded at 128kbps, so I can usually fit almost 30 songs on the on-board 64MB or memory.

Strengths:
Size
Weight
Battery Life

Weaknesses:
Button Placement

Review 5 of 19

Summary:
I have the Nomad II mg 64mb and I've upgraded it with a 128mb memory card. My brother has the Rio 500 and we both agree that the Nomad sounds better. I also think it's better looking for what it's worth. I've used the software with windows 98 and 2000 with no problems whatsoever.

Strengths:
Size, built in tuner, higher quality case than most mp3 players.

Weaknesses:
Like all mp3 players you can't store as many songs as you want to.

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.....

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.
