Very good
The only issue is I can't to put my electric guitar while plugged because the jack doesn't fit to the rest part of the stand. | 34 stars

Works fine
Not the prettiest capo out there but works fine and I like the texture of the almost rubber padding and the price is good. Love the ease of using a squeeze capo as well and not having straps or screws to deal with. Takes a little practice to clamp without pulling the strings out of place, but I've had similar issues with other capoes... | 34 stars

Lemon
They sound great. Truly for the music enthusiast. However, my pair shorted out for no apparent reason after only 6 months of sparse use. I've sent them in for repair (I had to cover the shipping). M-Audio returned them, but they shorted out again less then a month after the repair. Either I've got a bad copy, or the circuitry is of the lowest grade. | 01 star

My favorite mic! The best "all-around" mic.
This is Shure's flagship studio condenser mic. It is also the most versatile and underrated/overlooked mic on the planet.This is the best sounding microphone under $1000. You will not find a better mic for around $600. It is built like a tank, has superb frequency responses, is one of the quietest(7db self-noise) I have ever heard, and sounds just as good as those uber-expensive German mics. With the adjustability of patterns and pads, you can use it on anything. Voice, guitars, drums, up-close, overhead, whatever. The sound when matched to a quality tube preamp is amazing.This mic has delivered everything it promised and more. I have a decent list of clients that are completely blown-away by this obscure powerhouse. Go ahead and read other reviews online. Everyone is impressed and extremely pleased with the Shure KSM44. I am getting a second one and will keep them forever as the first mics I grab out of the locker.Thank you Shure! How about a tube mic to top this one? | 45 stars

What It Is
If my goal was to transfer analog data to CD then this machine does exactly what it presents to do. Connected to my reciever, making the new digital product was easy and intuitive, for those of us who don't like to read the instructions til later. My 33 year old Philosphy Class cassettes are now digital in format and are available to use "as is"...or modify with other software. The CD's produced by the Teac CD-RW880 Recorder play equally well on my computer, DVD player, or X-Box. Now I need to tackle all the vinyl Jazz and it should be just as easy. | 45 stars

Doesn't work
The item was plugged into the amp and all I got was static. No voice at all. I even tried brand new batteries. NOTHING BUT STATIC! I bought two of them and each was the same story. No voice, just static. I would recommend staying away from this product unless you are trying to create static. | 01 star

Why Pay More?
I was using a pair of Alessandro MS-1's hooked into my Sony Walkman 16gb and thought the sound was unbelievable, until I got a Hifiman HM601 slim and hooked up a pair of these cans (after doing some research). Let me say, OMG!!! With a freq. range of 15 to 25 kHz, and for the $ (a big issue), why would you pay more for a better headphone. The sound on these no matter what you may listen to from Classical to Rock A to Z you will not find (if you can find them, they are discontinued) is out of this world. I highly recommend these if not the newer version K240 MKii's. If you really want to spend the $$ get the Quincy Jones series Q701's for $250 to 300 usd. You will not be disappointed I promise you, unless you have the hearing of a dog, you will hear everything the original recording artist wanted you to hear. As one reviewer said "you will learn to hate your speakers after hearing these." I have a HTR with Polk Audio TSi200's ect. and let me just say I find myself listening to the AKG's more often than the Polk's. These Headphones come highly recommended not just from me (a newbie in the world of highend headphones and sound) but from others, just do some research for yourself, you will not bet disappointed. | 45 stars

High Quality Piano Bench
Great for taller people as you can adjust the height.The quality is excellent, especially at that price. Sturdy construction.The foam cushion is great especially if you have tail-bone issues. No pain with this bench!I highly recommend this bench. | 45 stars

Great deal
I've been looking for a set, and these are the perfect ones. Sure you can buy one for $6 or a set of 6 for $10. Great deal, in my opinion. They are solid cables, no transfering fuzzy scratchy noises like my old ones. Well done. | 45 stars

Good for the price
This sound card, its the best you can find at this price. The driver can be better, but its ok. With pro tools M-powered it work just like any Mbox, 002 or 003 rack but with 2 input only. I really think its a great interface. | 34 stars

Vinyl Restoration? Mastering CD? All you Need is Sound Forge
Here you have the most complete software for simple and efficient operations of mastering and restoration. A specially handy software if you have a big vinyl album collection to restore: use the great SF plug-ins for this purpose. Very good. | 45 stars

great piece of gear
I bought this about a year ago and I still use it all the time. It can be very subtle, giving a hint of tube compression and "glass" or you can run the tubes in series and get fantastic tube overdrive...plus everything in between. I bought a new tube amp recently (fender) and thought I'd get rid of this guy, but to my surprise using it as a clean boost in front of a tube amp really brings out the meaty tone. You can also use it for stereo signals. This is the most useful pedal in my arsenal. Super solid build. | 45 stars

great shipping!!
i got my guitar about 2 short days after i ordered it, and i love it, i spent everyday playing it!! its great for beginners, as far as learning the chords, but if you want something that sounds nice when your playing it right, then you might want to invest elsewhere, the chords dont sound right even when the guitar is prefectly in tune, but there are ways around this, as i've discovered, it just takes some time to pick up is all. | 34 stars

Had to revise - WARPED NECK !!!
I really liked the theory of this wall mount. Get the guitar out of the way, display it for all to see. However after about 3 months, I started to notice the neck of my guitar was starting to move. Strings started to buzz on frets 1, then 2. The Guitar shop couldn't do anything the fix it. 6 months later and keep it stored in the case, it has started to shift back, but still not what it was. This $15 item totally screwed up my $3000 gibson acoustic.ORIGINAL REVIEW:"I live in a small apartment, floor space is limited so a typical floor guitar stand wasn't going to work in my office area. My acoustic looks great on the wall and the mount went up easy! They even included mounting screws and drywall anchors, no need to line up with a stud.I purchased a wall bumper as well - but even my gibson super jumbo acoustic is about 4 inches away from the wall - no way it will bump." | 01 star

Perfect Little Tuner
Korg makes fantastic tuners. I used the GA-30 a lot before picking up this model. Both are fantastic. If you need your tuner to operate in-line, then this is a great choice. If you don't care that much, or really don't plan on using it in-line, just go for the GA-30. If you want to use a lot of non-standard tuning, I suggest model CA-30 or CA-40, both of which are chromatic tuners. They can tune to any of the 12 pitches across any octave (so far as I can tell). They don't include presets for Guitar or Bass, though, so you need to know which notes to be tuning yourself.It is cheap enough for you to give it a try. | 45 stars

Awesome, awesome guitar hanger
This is a great guitar hanger that was recommended to me by several people. Great for people with babies/toddlers looking to get their guitars off the ground like myself.I love the unique self-locking mechanism that it has. The weight of the guitar lowers the hanger and moves the lock levers up so your guitar neck is securely fastened. I have an electric and an acoustic hanging up. The acousitc's body is about 4.5" thick and has plenty of clearance from the wall when hung. The electric I think weights around 8 pounds and it held no problem by the Hercules hook. I believe the max weight it can hold is about 15lbs.I only installed into studs and wouldn't really want to try a drywall-only installation. The product does come with drywall anchors but many of the reviewers said the included drywall anchors are cheap and not that good. The wood screws that came with the product I found to be a little short (if you were installing on dry-wall in front of a stud). Others found this to be true too. I bought #8 Wood Screws in 2.5" length at the hardware store and these worked perfectly for my install. The included screws I think are about 2" in length or a little less. | 45 stars

Don't get your hopes up
I needed a quick fix for live performance with my cello and this pickup was very affordable. Well, you get what you pay for. It works, but just barely. I had to run my cello through an EQ pedal to boost the signal, which got me there, but the recreation of the sound was a little off. The bass generally didn't resonate very well and I tended to have an issue with hum (a ground loop @ 60Hz that had to be eq'd out). I've since bought a Shadow SH 955 Nanoflex Pickup and haven't looked back. The Fishman gets the job done, but expect to have to boost your signal A LOT to use it live. I'm told the preamp Fishman sells as an accessory will solve all the problems I had, but for the cost of both of them you can get a Shadow pickup or another one of the competitors. | 12 stars

AUDIO TECHNICA ATR-35S Lavalier Microphone
My first one arrived and did not work. I tried everything, knowing I was doing something wrong. Nothing I tried woorked so I contacted Amazon. I dreaded the whole prospect. It took me over two months to get my money back from Nuance on their PDF Pro. I should have contacted Amazon. They gave me my money back instantly and sent me a new one which arrived in a couple of days. Then they recharged me for the new one.The mic works fine. I am no audio specialist so I just want things to work as they are supposed to. The mic works fine, but Amazon! Wow! We have a Best Buy, Circuit City, Comp USA and a Fry's, but unless it is something I really need 'now' or on sale, I like Amazon. | 45 stars

LOOK NO FURTHER
I do not normally write reviews,but after a lot of research,I purchased these AV40speakers.They sound fantastic,I replaced a set of Altec speakers,which were good but these blow them away.Easy set up,you will not miss a woofer,plenty of bass. | 45 stars

Heavy Duty conga stand bad rolling casters
I bought the LP 290B brand new. It is a very well contructed product except for the rolling casters (the feature I wanted). The ball bearings are falling out ( 2 of 3 wheels) after my second gig. There is no way to tighten the ball bearing race to close the gap. The ball bearings are between the caster and stand legs. I am waitng for an answer from the LP rep, hopefully all I need is new casters. I am disapointed in the lack of quality control for this key feature. I still think that LP has some innovative percussion products. | 23 stars

Warm, Smooth, Even tone
Normally, we don't want steel strings because we think they will be twangy. These are not. In fact I find them warmer in tone than many synthetic brands. They never go out of tune and have a fast response and warm smooth tone. | 45 stars

Cakewalk Sonar - Look at something else
This is a nice looking audio package for Windows, it has a nice feature set, and some good plugins. It has several major drawbacks however. The biggest one is latency. I experienced as much as 100ms latency with this product using _all_ audio devices I have. I tried under WDM, ASIO and MME drivers - and it made little difference. This product was unusable for me. Not only that - if you are a consumer looking to experiment with home recording, this will not work with any Sound Blaster products. I purchased an M-Audio Duo box ($259), and it finaly recorded, but with 100ms latency, which was terrible. I tried it on two different computers both running windows 2000 and had the same results. Midi input isn't bad, but there is no good mapping file for Korg Triton.I would recommend looking at Cubase SL/SX instead which I have purchased and am very happy with so far. It's a bit more fiddley than Sonar, but it actualy works, and they have a very nice effects mechanism which is easy to use. Latency practicaly went away when switching to this product. I give Cakewalk a big Thumbs Down - Unusable! | 01 star

Good Sounding, But...
This unit sounds great and does exactly what I need to do for my Total Babble podcast. It gets 3 out of 5 stars because of one weird issue…The bottom of the unit, with plastic feet, is not even. So when you sit the console down on a flat service it wobbles. Because I have a mic right near the console, that doesn’t worked. This was true in the case of all 3 units I tried through both Amazon and Guitar Center locally.I fixed it by buying some of those stick-ons they use for furniture at the hardware store to balance one corner.If you can live with that, you should be happy with this inexpensive, but good sounding mixer. | 23 stars

Good basic music stand
My young son started taking saxophone lessons and needed a basic folding music stand. I wanted to buy one without spending a lot of money and this one made both of us happy. The stand folds easily and is well constructed of sturdy stainless steel. It has proven to be durable and is a good value. | 34 stars

Affordable Bag!
Hasn't fallen apart on me yet! Going over a little 2 years now. Decent amount of space for other nick nacks such as your capos, wires, picks, etc. It's simple and practical.There is a plastic logo sown on the front. It doesn't show on the picture supplied and really doesn't effect that look that much. But I don't like that they hid it. :) 4 Stars! | 34 stars

'Economic?' More like 'Cheap.'
I made the mistake of ordering this case for my Epiphone 12 string, which had come without one. I was on a tight budget at the time, and thus thought that I had found a rather good deal. In hindsight, I should have just kept the cardboard box that my guitar had been shipped to me in.The "hard case" is not hard at all, and provides little to no protection. It is extremely thin and flimsy, able to bend out of shape with one carry. It may be advertised as a 12 string case, but my axe has to be squeezed into it to fit, knocking it out of tune every time. The latches at the head, neck, and main body area don't line up properly, and there is an area of the case itself that needs to be forced closed, even when the case is empty.The craftsmanship of the interior is atrocious. There is absolutely no padding to protect the finish of your investment; The storage area is ill-sized and not flush with the bottom of the case, allowing room for loose picks and such to slide out into the main area (and the lid to the storage area is improperly cut to fit as well); The pressed paper-like material making up the inside quickly begins to peel.Do yourself a favor: Save the money that you would spend on this case and buy a better one. Personally, I've seen much better used, beaten up cases for thirty dollars less at flea markets and pawn shops... | 01 star

Let's call it "so so"
I bought this guitar two years ago, I got disappointed with its sound, you could hear like the strings were touching the wood and that made the guitar sound terrible, I say awful, for that reason I hide it in my closet. 2 months ago I wanted to play it again, and decided to change the strings and gave myself a big surprise; the sound quality is way better than it was before, the martin strings that comes with the guitar sucks, change them immediately. And for that price, it's a guitar that you can take it anywhere without any worries. But, if you can afford a more expensive one, I advice you to do it. | 45 stars

Popper Stopper that looks good
This not only looks good with my Blue mic but it works great. The structure is wonderful, it's not mesh like the "Popper Stopper" or other brands. This filter is durable and can take the adjusting like a champ.I highly recommend this. | 45 stars

Lacks bass, cheap tweeter, nearfield is about it
For $120, these aren't bad. The drivers are set really far into the speaker, so they are extremely near field. Like a poor LED LCD set, they are horrible off axis. Which means you have to sit directly in front of them to obtain good sound. They do not compare in any way to an AVR, stereo receiver, and bookshelves with a 4" woofer and 1" soft dome tweeter. If you are looking for a room filling type speaker, look elsewhere. For PC speakers, which these are labelled (and not true studio monitors), they are very good, except they lack serious bass. You cannot obtain bass from a 3" driver. I own a 2.1 Logitech Z Cinema with 3" woofers and a full 1" soft dome tweeter, and IMO, they are a much better speaker setup for a PC with a powered 8" sub. The Z Cinema doesn't fall into the same category as other horn loaded or diaphram driven satellites. The desk speakers are much, much better. And that system can be had for around $100 if watching out for sales. The only reason I haven't returned these AV40's is because I'll probably pass them down to my son or daughter for their bedrooms, which are too small to accomodate a separate sub. These speakers should be selling for $99, which would make them a fair value. The internal amp is not very powerful (as it doesn't have to be driving small 3" woofers and cheap 3/4" tweeters). If you want room filling PC speakers, look elsewhere for better off axis sound. If you want bass, look elsewhere for a 2.1 setup. If you simply want big pc speakers with very good sound, nearfield, these are fine, but a little expensive. | 23 stars

Black Delrin plectra: A+
There's a lot of confusion possible when they tell you "color may vary". The good stuff is MidEast Mfg. product OUDQ, a taped-together bundle of ten black plastic plectra, made in Egypt. That's black Delrin or Celcon, i.e. Acetal, the stuff they use on harpsichord plectra. It's got a characteristic extremely glossy surface, and is generally black, but a greenish white is also legit. This is the best stuff for oud short of bone/horn/feather. The sound is clear and well-defined, the snap is controlled. These are not ready-made plectra, they are "blanks" that you take a rough and a fine sandpaper to, and shape how you like the tips. Delrin will hold edges thinner than paper. This is what oud players do when they are not tuning.Delrin was first used on harpsichords because it sounds very much like feather quill, but is extremely durable. Replacing say 180 plectra on a big harpsichord is a big job, so having 20 years in between requilling thanks to Delrin makes Delrin very popular! Delrin is used to make self-lubricating bearings, code tumblers on safes, Mattel Hot Wheels, and plectra. On the oud a Delrin plectrum holds its shape practically forever, and generally outlasts the strings, the oud, the player, the city and the political system. MidEast (in Florida) ships promptly, very well packaged. | 45 stars

Made it through 2 deployments
I bought this guitar when I deployed to iraq in the summer of 09. I am now deployed to Afghanistan and the guitar has held up very well in these extreme conditions. It sounds great and feels great. The only down side i have noticed is that the bridge pegs are kind of wearing out. I'm sure thats due to the heat and constant usage. Overall I recommned this guitar if your looking for a great sounding guitar for not alot of money. Its lasted 2 wars and I love it. | 34 stars

I loved it, but it died ~5 months later
I loved it for recording. I had a sm58, but it just didn't have enough gain on my tascam USB-224 audio interface. So I bought a MXL V63M condenser mic and the Tube MP pre-amp. Great sounding combination, really helped to improve my recording quality. Bought it 11/24/07. Last night (04/17/08), I went to use it and -- no power! Bummer. Now, I have to check if it is under warranty and see about a replacement. Cheap and effective -- but if it dies this early, then the lower cost is now offset by all the replacement hassles. Heck if I have to drive to guitar center (it was shipped from Musician's friend) there's $15-20 in gas. Dang, back to the sm58 for awhile.Kevin | 23 stars

Great value!!
I love these guitar strings. My old strings would buzz really badly no matter what brand I used. I bought this d'adiario mediums and not only is the sound quality amazing, but the buzzing is gone too! The price was better than anywhere else as well! Can't eat that! 100% satisfied! | 45 stars

Awesome bass guitar
This is a really awesome bass guitar. Warwicks sound so nice. I just couldn't believe i got it for under 300. man what a great deal. Just make sure you have an 9V with you. The one with it does not work well. Note to everyone if you like to shake walls get this guitar. | 45 stars

Good value for the price.
This is a Les Paul style copy made in China. It is a little lighter than a standard Les Paul, and doesnt have the same amount of sustain as a Les Paul, but the craftsmanship is good, and the finish is good. The tuners have a lot of play in them, if you are a serious guitar player, you will probably replace them. The pickups are not very bright in tone, somewhat muddy, but okay if you use a distortion pedal. You would have to replace the pickups if you want a good bright metal tone. The bridge will have to be adjusted when you first receive it for the best intonation, this isn't difficult to do, but if you dont know how, just take it to a music store and have a pro do it, it will be worth it. Out of the box, it is playable, and good for a beginner or hobbyist. If you get more serious, you will want to consider new tuners, and maybe new pickups, or just move up to a better guitar. This is about the same as an Epiphone Les Paul Special copy, but you save about $100. It looks nice, and feels nice, plays well. The tuners and the pickups are the only thing that they could improve on it. Still a good value for the price. | 34 stars

Great feel and action
I was looking for some mallets to provide a more gong like sound on a some new cymbals. These more than fill the bill. As you would expect from Zildjian - these really provide the sound I wanted along with a tremendous feel. It's been a long time since I had mallets - these make me wonder why I waited! | 45 stars

Not bad for the cost
Overall, I like this product. I use it often when I'm gaming to record audio or talk to people. It is very sensitive and picks up other sounds pretty easily though so I'm usually forced to use the second setting. Great for recording gameplay with multiple people and great for song recording. | 34 stars

Been playing with these strings for 10 years!
When I first started playing the guitar, I was testing strings to see which I had a feel for. After numerous trials and fails, I came across these Boomers and slapped them on my axe.........after the first play I knew I found the right pair. The sound is bright and clean and the life is crazy. The last forever. This is the only brand I use now for 10 years and counting. | 45 stars

DO NOT BUY!!!
I loved this product, until my 2yr old son unscrewed the maraca. I was worried he had swallowed some, because he is the type of child to put things in his mouth. The balls are made of steel. I called the company to ask them. I had a difficult time cleaning up the metal balls. There are about 30 of them in each maraca and are about a mm in size. I didn't even see them at first. I actually took the second maraca and busted it open (it took one good hit on the floor for me to open it) to see what I was looking for.Though the steel balls are not toxic, poisin control said that I should take my son to the Dr & get him an Xray.. The doctor said if the Xray came back positive they would do a led test on him in two weeks, to make sure the balls didn't have led in them. We would also have to monitor him to make sure they passed....I would not recomend this product for any child... | 01 star

Great for an Intermediate Soloist
This is not particularly advanced (in the sense that it doesn't go up too high: I think the highest note they hit is high G or something). Very good practicing for an intermediate wind instrumentalist. The tempos are pretty good (in my opinion, though, Hava Nagila was taken a bit too fast).The CD is of good quality, there is no interference or fuzziness in the music. | 34 stars

Good product
We bought this keyboard last week and are having a blast with it!I've always wanted to learn to play the piano, and while this isn't a piano, it's as close as I can get while I'm living in an apartment.It came with a stand and power supply, but not headphones like the premium version, all for less than $100 at Target.There is a song bank with over 100 songs to choose from, and it teaches you to play 3 different ways. It has a voice to tell you which fingers to use to play which can be turned off with the push of a button. The keys light up really well, and the sound is acceptable for the price.The only thing that I don't like is the display. It's a little hard to see when you're sitting down and playing. It would be nice if it was angled a little so there wasn't a glare on the screen.Overall, I'd say it's worth the money. | 45 stars

Built like a tank
I play keys in a classic rock band and wanted a stereo volume pedal that can handle gigging. I looked at other volume pedals, but most of the others are loaded with plastic parts and didn't seem to be too rugged. Bouncing around in a tub full of cables and sustain pedals can be hard on anything. This unit fills the bill for me. It is smooth, silent, passive, and goes from 0 to full outhiput. The thing is heavy enough not to slip around and the pedal itself has a non-slip surface. It stays at the level where it is left, yet the pedal resistance seems about perfect to me - it moves smoothly with no jerks in volume.I especially like that this can be used with either dual mono plugs or single TRS stereo.There are cheaper pedals out there, but by the time you break one of them and buy a replacement, you could have purchased this in the first place. A real winner. | 45 stars

there's a reason they're so cheap
they really are pieces of junk. buzzy, poorly built junk. the wood on the inside wasn't even cut right(it seemed like it was gnawed on by a beaver. zero craftsmanship). it was friggin ridiculous. it's not 70% off, they just suck. | 01 star

Wow! What a disappointment.
My husband bought me a Simba flute . I didn't play it much after the first couple of months. I pulled it out about two years later to play a tune and then once this year. Now I'm ready to show my daughter how to play and the flute is falling apart.I played a Yamaha flute years ago for 15 years and never had my flute break on me. The material doesn't seem as sturdy. My daughter is so eager to learn and now I have to either worry about getting her another brand or trying to get this one repaired. Hopefully she won't lose interest in the meantime. What ashamed! | 01 star

Nice
I likey. After fairly heavy playing, the coating has worn off in places around common fretting positions after about 3 weeks and almost immediately around the pick area. When you put them on there's none of the new string chimey sound. Nice and smooth on the fingers. I find the coating doesn't seem to affect harmonics as I thought they may have. They have a very warm sound compared to other light sets and stay in tune very well.I usually play around 45 minutes a day 4 or 5 days a week. They've been on here for around 2 months and I have just now started noticing a difference in tone since I put them on. I previously used Earnie Ball Slinky's and Daddario's. I'm going with the DR's again mainly because sound good(not better, but) longer and they look nice. Red would be cooler/gayer | 34 stars

Terrific, and very versatile
I've been nothing but happy with this little metronome. It's small, very flexible in terms of programming, easy to use, and the built in snare fundamentals have been really helpful. | 34 stars

Good machine at a good price
When I purchased this product it was labeled as the PreSonus FireBox 6x10. This turned out to be the same as the FireBox 6x8. As far as I know, PreSonus doesn't even make a 6x10 version (although maybe they used to), but I bought it because it was way cheaper than any FireBox 6x8. It is exactly the same.Product was shipped promptly and arrived within days. The FireBox is built well and seems like it can endure some rugged use (although I only use it in my home recording studio). The pre-amps do improve recording quality and it is easy to adjust imput levels. For some reason, however, my mac does not recognize the 2, 1/4 inch inputs in the back. I haven't needed to use these inputs yet, so I haven't looked into whether or not it is an issue with a computer setting or a hardware issue. Regardless of this problem, I think that the PreSonus Firebox is a great first audio interface for the aspiring home recorder. Understand that although this is not necessarily a professional grade product, it is certainly sufficient for good quality home recordings. | 34 stars

Adds realism...
This adds a bit of realism to playing a portable keyboard - my wife loves it! There is a basic plastic version that would suffice (for about half the cost) - but this model is more realistic, quite well made and has the heft to stay where you put it. I suspect the cheap version would scoot around on the floor while being used. Do check to make sure it is compatible with your particular keyboard before ordering.... | 45 stars

Very good controller
This Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller it's much better than oxygen 61. If someone is thinking to buy a keyboard controller this item is and excellent device.M-Audio AXIOM 61 Advanced 61-Key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller 9900-51413-10 | 45 stars

They do the trick
Needed rack rails for a homemade editing desk and rolling rack, the price was right and they work fine. The only drawback is that they did not come with hardware to install rack components, so if your rack device did not come with screws you'll need to grab those separately. Luckily I had a bag of screws lying around. | 34 stars

Failed
I am a DJ and have used this product for a year and half and the nine pin plug failed. You have to wiggle the end to make it work. I would not recommend this product. | 12 stars

very good
The AX25L 2-Hole Clamp Adapter is the long version of the AX25, providing 6" of length that allows for even more customization options. | 45 stars

ES-335 Natural
This is no doubt the finest instrument I have ever owned. The finish is amazing and the wood grain is just a work of art. It was set up fairly well from the factory But I'm having it done at the shop anyway. I'm really happy with the guitar in every aspect. | 45 stars

Sovtek 12AX7WA Vacuum Tube
Probably one of the better vacuum tubes I've ever toyed around with. It is very warm, and yet so clear and crisp. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. | 45 stars

Lauren 30" Student Guitar package
Nice! Nice! Nice! This little guy sounds good & is great for that little person who wants to learn. Finish on black is nice & smoothe no blemishes & the Steele strings are great. What a bargain!Side note: the gift wrap bag was great- another great bargain @ $5.99.....try it- worth the cost. | 45 stars

Midisport Uno + Yamaha PSR keyboard = failure
I was encouraged by a review of this product on another site which said they had resolved the Yamaha PSR keyboard problems. Silly me. I believed it.I tried the XP drivers, the ones on the M-Audio site, and the one included on the CD and while it may work with some Yamaha PSR keyboards, none of those drivers let it work with my PSR-230. I returned it and bought a Yamaha UX16 instead. | 01 star

Awesome quality, but I vastly underestimated the full weight
This thing will last forever, absolutely top-notch and high quality. This is perfect for storage as opposed to an open shelf or milk crate if you have a toddler and a vast collection of way too expensive vinyl. It smelled horrible like adhesive when I first got it in, but that went away after a while. This accomplishes exactly what they advertise, but I vastly underestimated the weight of this thing when it is at or near full capacity. It's definitely takes two people or one body-builder to comfortably move this thing around when it's full. If portability is on your list then definitely consider the single row version of this instead. I'll be buying those from now on as my collection grows. | 45 stars

Best Picks Ever
I have been playing guitar for years now, and Dunlop picks are the best I have ever used. Unlike Fender picks, Dunlop picks retain more friction from your fingers, making it less likely for the pick to fly out of your hands. Fender picks are smooth, Dunlop picks are smooth, but it is a different kind of smooth. Dunlop provides better grip and quality than any pick I have used before.A negative quality might be that the writing on the pick has rubbed off on one of my picks from my thumb. I don't know why it's only happened on one pick, as i have used all of them | 45 stars

Best Bang For The Buck
This device has exceeded my expectations. It has a great mic preamp. The doubling feature is worth the price alone. Fully adjustable and natural sounding pitch correction. Great sounding harmonies. And this device is awesome with the guitar-based harmony control. Accurate harmonies on the fly. The learning curve might be a little higher than some products, but TC is vastly superior to anything I've heard. I'm buying another one for my dad for his birthday. | 45 stars

Dunlop Nylon Standard Pick Packs, .60mm/Gray
There are millions of picks out there to choose from. Each one for a specific effect. I am very particular on the ones and types I use. This one has exactly what I want and very durable. I was getting down to my last two of these and could not find them anymore in the local stores. I keep forgetting that if I can't find it anywhere else I can find it here on Amazon. | 45 stars

Great drum throne for the price
I bought this to use with my rock band drums. Sturdy contstruction, solid rubber footing, and a comfy seat make this a great budget-minded drum thone solution. | 34 stars

Zoom H4 Handy Recorder
After extensive research I decided on the H4 based on price, features, and reviews. I sing barbershop harmony and wanted a quality recorder to record practice sessions and shows. I purchased an 8 Gb card to extend the recording time. I have used the H4 for a month now and feel it was an excellent buy. | 45 stars

Levy's Leathers PM23-DBR Carving Leather Guitar Strap
I have a number of Levy's straps, this is another example of why. Excellent aattention paid to the manufacture/materials/detail/ergonomics.Most of my guitars wear a Levy's or they wear nothing at all LOL.Good color, nice antique silver buckles thick supple leather, classic design make my Tele Thinline even more enjoyable than it was. Can't say enough about Levy's they never let me, or my instruments, down. HIGHLY recommended. | 45 stars

Product Works Perfectly!
It works exactly as described. It has very solid looking pins and metal connectors, so I'm not worried about it breaking anytime soon! | 45 stars

Wish I wouldn't have sold it!
It's a simple digital interface, no really intuitive, but easy enough to learn quickly. There isn't a lot of glam on this unit, just basic digital recording, but it made it easy. I sold the unit to make a move towards computer based recording, but I miss the ease at which this unit did it. Plus, you can easily connect this unit with USB (or use the flash card) to your computer and make final edits there.Overall, this unit is very much worth the $150 in the 2011 market. | 34 stars

Great cymbals for the price

Poor quality
Arrived damaged. The speaker/magnet part of the 15" horn was broken off and loose inside of the box. The vinyl on the box was comming up on several parts. The overall quality was poor. | 01 star

Be able to tune your drums accurately
This drum tuner allows you to tune your drums to the axact same pitch every time. The only thing I dislike is having to lift the unit off the heads even when you are increasing the pitch. I tried this and found that the reading was different after lifting and repositioning the unit agian.It is well worth the price. | 34 stars

guitar stand
Great price & very good quality. I purchased 2 of these for my son's 2 guitars. I would definitely purchase again. | 45 stars

It was pretty good
I bought one of these from a friend (barely used) and i would say, this thing could take a beating. Pretty good for beginners, and a price like that you just have to get it. One thing beginners should never forget, i learned this the hard way with this cymbal, "Never flip a cymbal upsidedown on a stand and hit it". Yeah, i was a 'nooby' (i guess you could say) at cymbal knowledge, but mines now cracked in two places, but it sounds almost exactly like a brand new Sabian B8 20" ride. Worked pretty well as a crash too, until it cracked of course. | 34 stars

Rio Chiba 256MB - Easy to use ( 1 hand) and sounds great.
This unit Sounds great and is easly controled w/one hand while on the belt clip. No arm band provided though. includes FM stereo w/8 presets and manual tunning mode (yea). Headphones are in-ear type and sound very good: by way of comparison Sony MDR-G63 sportphones sound just slightly better. WinXP's Media Player 9 recognizes the Rio and can transfer songs, delete songs and format the player: but be careful as I somehow deleted all my songs once.Included software seems OK (I only had the unit 24 hours.)There's a firmware (software) upgrade available: The upgrade wasso easy I did'nt realize it was done and almost did it again.256MB = about 60 songs at a 128-192bps (Medium high bitrate).Now I just need a cheap SD mem card (It takes up to 1Meg of SD/MMC memory). And there's the rub. Once you get used to having your music on demand you'll wnat more, more, more.I gave 4 stars only because I have nothing to compare it to.MK | 34 stars

Very poor pickup of speaker
These are nicely designed and have great range, the only issue is that the speaker has to basically eat the microphone for it to pick them up and that is with the setting up full blast. Outside that they are great. Nice they recharge on the dock, bright displays and the mics have good heft to them just don't pick up well. | 12 stars

Love it!
I wasn't necessarily a huge fan when it came to SD pickups, some of those I've tried have just sounded sterile. Not this one though. I think of it has my 'high definition pickup'. I've got it in the bridge position of my strat and the tone, while having just the slightest hiss from being single coil, still somehow sounds clearer and more rich than my DiMarzio's, which are humbuckers in a single coil housing and therefore have almost no noise. To my ears, the antiquity pickup really nails that authentic vintage strat sound, with less noise than what an actual 60 year old strat pickup would have. I hate to sound vague, but the tone to me just has "mojo" and richness that I don't get from my other strat pickups. If you're looking for a good vintage sounding single coil I don't think you'd do wrong to try this one. | 45 stars

Beautiful!
This strap was beautiful and the quality was excellent, it was a great purchase and I'd wished I'd gotten two since this order was a gift for another person and I wanted one myself after I'd seen it. | 45 stars

High-maintenance!!
BE WARNED. I am disappointed over-all. The light functions well and rotates to the beat of music just fine, but the product description does not tell you it overheats quickly and needs to be shut off after 10 minutes so it can cool off for 10 minutes, and so on. Because these are halogen bulbs and get very hot quickly, the manufacturer recommeds a usage pattern of "10 minutes on, 10 minutes off." For what I need, this is extremely high-maintenance. I am a karaoke host and just wanted a light that would flash for a 4-5 hour show. I can't be going back and forth making sure this light isn't overheating every 10 minutes turning it on and off. I called the manufacturer and they recommended I buy one of their light controllers which will time it automatically (which costs more than the light itself). I guess if you were a DJ who had a big light show and you had the controller anyway, this might work for you. But if you're looking for a single light just to accent a small stage, look elsewhere. | 12 stars

Okay as a first instrument
I bought one of these on ebay for $5 with a $35 shipping fee as well. Amazon claims it is originally 160.00 and is a 80% price deduction but this remains to be seen. I bought this as my first instrument which is fine because I knew nothing about playing music or the sound it should produce. It is very flat, and no matter what, you can't get it to tune. I have tried 2 sets of strings and it sounds okay with a good set od daddario's. I would however reccomend the 39.99 or 49.99 mandolins on amazon. They sound like real mandolins and are generally well built for the price and for 10$ more its a huge advancement. | 12 stars

Solid Stand
This is a solid stand which has a good range of height adjustment. There's no reason to spend anymore money on a pricier stand. | 45 stars

It does the job
To start, if you are looking at this mount because you've heard it will fit your Blue Yeti, it wont. That's exactly why I bought it. For the price it wasn't a bad bet. The plastic rings FIT over the mic's frame, but its so tight that it can't absorb any shock! It could work as a side mounting solution, but the Blue Yeti is heavy! SO BE CAREFUL!I'm not unhappy about the buy though because this thing will fit just about any mic you can find. | 34 stars

Fantastic so far!
So far it's been working great! It gives the sound a little more detail than the needle that came with the turntable, which I assume was the cheapest they could get; this one's made in Switzerland, which is refreshing.I ordered two of them, and the package was delivered in time and without any damage; they even included a business card in the package, very professional service. I would highly recommend this stylus for compatible cartridges (I use it in a Pyle PLTTB1 turntable connected to a Pyle Phono pre-amp and then hooked up to my Home Theater system and the sound's great!).I will update the review with further information after a while; I play records almost daily for about 2 hours and it would be interesting to find out how durable they are... | 45 stars
