Price Paid:  $300.00 from www.shoptoshiba.com

Summary:
When you first take it out of it's box it looks a little chunky, but once you get past that it's really nice looking. The processor can sometimes be a little slow, but I mean lets face it so can the ipod. Even though it's the same price as the 5GB iPod I would choose this puppy, sure the iPod's a little smaller but the removeable hard drive takes the cookie for me, there's even talk that Toshiba will soon be releasing a 10GB card. The software is...windows software, thats all I have to say, but if you're buying an mp3 player for the software then I think it's safe to say the iPod beats out everyone else. The sounds quality on this thing is even better than the iPod, it's amazing, the BassXpander really makes a huge difference too. I think it's a real competitor for the iPod and overall a good buy

Strengths:
-Removeable HDD -Toshiba BassXpander

Weaknesses:
-Windows Software -Sometimes Slow Processor

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

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.
