Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $179.00 from JR music world

Summary:
If your in the market for an Ipod or any mp3 player for the first time, give this serious consideration. I Paid 179.00 (8GB) @ JR musc world for twice the memory of an Ipod nano which is only 4GB. Also the Sansa comes with an FM radio, and voice recorder that can also be used to record the FM radio. The 8GB model e280 also comes with a 5 band equalizer. You should defintly upgrade the firmware as soon as you get it. Have heard that Apple/Mac userers somtimes have problems with the software. Also the rotating wheel is not as smooth/sleek as Ipod's. IMHO this kicks the Nano's butt hands down. Also the best part, you can load or share your mp3's (Freedom from itumes.

Strengths:
FM radio
Voice record
5 band equalizer
cheaper than nano
More for your money
Freedom from Itunes

Weaknesses:
rotating dial
Software if your a Mac

Similar Products Used:
IPod Nano

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.
