Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $160.00 from Tottenham Court Road

Summary:
I bought this phone beacuse it looked incredible, and the salesman was very good at his job; however, I am only 14 years old, and none of my friends have Bang and Olufsen phones in their bedrooms. The phone looks modern, and is very well designed. I think that the price (£100) can be justified as it is a splendid peice of modern technology. However, it is possible to buy a digital chordless handset of a more well known make for the same price or even cheaper.
The functions are not particually impressive, and I clearly wasted my money here. However, this is considerably better than my previous phone which was extremely basic and cost £9.99. For £150, you can buy the beocom 2500, which has a larger memory, and other small functions.
This phone is suitable for the high class businessman, but not the average teenager.

Strengths:
The Phone is the most elegant and stylish phone on the market, and extremely ergonomic. It looks incredible, and also has a speakerphone.

Weaknesses:
This phone is rather expensive. It has no caller ID, no inbuilt answerphone, and a limited phonebook memory of 10. There are two speed dials buttons. Even though it has speakerphone it is still not chordless.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $130.00 from NK

Summary:
Nice phone, with good sound quality, light earphone, fast dialling, and a good volume control.

After a year the earphone started to sound harsh (play in the cableplug). It is replaceable.

Strengths:
Design, quality and all the features.

Weaknesses:
Maybe the price, but hey its a B&O!!!

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.
