The AVR-3805.......2006-01-20

I've had this receiver for two weeks now and I can't stop listening to my music !! I've just started my master plan off using this receiver and I'm glad I did. I've got seven older speakers hooked up to this and this receiver makes them sound like $10,000 speakers. To keep this review short, you won't be disappointed buying this receiver if you're looking to start of in the mid range of a home theatre project. Yes, it is complicated setting up the receiver but, that is to be expected. It is after all, a very capable receiver. Enjoy !!!

Denon AVR-3805 Receiver.......2005-04-27

I have had this Denon AVR-3805 receiver for several full months now, and I can say that it is an excellent receiver. It has great sound quality, is very versatile, and is also of very good quality, meaning it has a very sturdy build. It should last the dedicated home theater entertainment system fan a long time and provide him and his family much enjoyment for many years to come. Although the manual is long, and at times complex,and it will probably take a while to read and to digest it in order to fully learn how to use the receiver's full capabilities, that is only what is to be expected from such a deep,complex,and capable machine. And if a simpler product is needed, then one should buy a cheaper one, although then the product would not be as good in sound quality. The AVR-3805 has garnered good reviews all over the Internet, including from some of the top professional consumer hifi electronics websites on the Internet, and I can also say fully from personal experience from it, that most of the reviewers are correct in saying that it is an excellent machine, and in trying to give you an overall impression about it, I can honestly say that I have tried to be fair and honest in my review, although I have not gone into so many details, because with this receiver there are so many specific features and highlights and much has been said by so many other people about it already, but suffice to say that it is an excellent receiver overall. I usually do not post reviews, but I have noticed a disturbing trend with many of the reviews of home theater electronics over the Internet however, and that is there seems to be a disturbing trend by many consumer reviewers towards deliberately posting bad reviews and downgrading products from Asian companies in particular, especially about individual products that usually get a high rating by professional reviewers and also by regular consumers, and also about products from companies that are usually highly regarded in the industry,such as Denon or Sony. These comments are usually very cleverly veiled and disguised as objective reviews and critiques but then usually expose themselves as what they truly are because then they are usually capped off by some suspicious screennames such as "Woody" or some name like that. The comments are usually cleverly veiled with an offsetting comment or a covering that obscures it in order so that people do not figure out what they are doing openly, so that they won't be punished, and so that they can trick people into thinking that their comment is a genuine opinion, or in the best case scenario genuine fact. Also, some of the posts have very suspicious comments in them that don't sound genuine, such as a quote that I read on the Internet that said "what's (chairman of Denon) going to come up with next, a $5000 DVD player that weighs 40 lbs. and plays like a $50 dollar DVD player from China?" That comment did not seem to be fair or objective to me and the poster did not genuinely seem to have a good or honest motivation to say that, only to downgrade the product when so many other consumer reviewers had rated it so highly, and so I am saying this to advise you to take some of these negative comments that you read on the Internet, (and even some of the positive ones), with a grain of salt, because there is obviously a racial motive involved in some of these comments, and people have some other motive in mind in saying these things other than telling the truth about the product. In my own opinion, I try to be fair and not to be prejudiced for or against anyone when I judge, and then that will help me to do what's right and to judge rightly and to also see the truth more clearly, especially when I am doing this to try to help other people form a fair, honest, and balanced, viewpoint about something for themselves. I also try to judge each product as it is individually on its own merits, although the reputation of the company, its "good name" does count to me as well. I find it disturbing that, while looking at the consumer reviews of many home theater electronics, that I have begun noticing these types of comments around the Internet on more and more of these consumer review websites. Some of these people are "trolls", people who post malicious comments posing as others just in order to trick people into doing what they want and who obviously have some other agenda on their minds than giving a fair, decent, and impartial, view of the situation. This kind of peeves me, I am not going to spend $1500 dollars of my hard-earned money on a product that only seemed better than it really was because some guy wanted to promote his own racial or national agenda, and possibly miss out on the product that is really good just because I was fooled into thinking that it was bad just because someone made a false post about it just to hurt other people. I mean if the American company's product is good then I'll buy the American one, and if the Asian or other foreign company's product is good, then I'll buy that one also. If each dollar is a vote, then by buying the company's product that is a genuinely good product, then you are voting for the company and rewarding the company that produces a genuinely better product and urging them to produce more of the same quality product and to continue to do the same degree of work. And also by not buying the products of companies that have worse products, then you are spurring the companes whose products are not as popular with consumers and to change their ways and to improve the products that they make so that people will want to buy them,and so that they become popular with customers, thus making it better for everyone. Yes,I believe that patriotism is good, but only to the point where it does not become destructive to others, and not when you begin openly wronging other people like I am starting to see happen more and more on the Internet. I mean, forgive me for going off on a soapbox like that for a while, but it just makes it one step harder for me to see the truth as to which is the better product that I should buy when other people are making false and misleading posts like that for their own objectives, especially when I am going to make a big-money purchase that is over several hundred dollars, and then to have to go back and forth visiting all of these review websites, and then to be almost sure but not quite sure, because you have to agonize over the one or two reviews whose reviews you think are false or have questionable motives. Although it is wrong to assume without knowing for sure that people are making false posts for the reasons that I mentioned before and to possibly be cynical about them, some of the behavior that I see on the Internet has made me suspicious, and you see more and more of it lately, so I hope you take my advice for what it's worth. And for those of you who think that I am just defending the Denon AVR-3805, then I suggest that you look at the reviews of it on the Internet, I think that a lot of people are defending the Denon AVR-3805. Besides, I am not so much quite defending Denon, as I am defending anyone who does a good quality job, does it well, and is proven to be a creative innovator. This particular receiver, the AVR-3805 got good reviews all over the Internet, both from professional reviewers and from individual consumer reviewers all over the Internet, what more can I say, I don't need to defend this Denon, I think the reviews speak for themselves. The proof is in the pudding,as they say. But my advice for any of you who are seriously looking for any reviews of any hifi consumer electronics, there are several good websites along with this one that I would suggest to you,such as "audioreview.com", as well as "ecoustics.com". Ecoustics in particular has an excellent compilation of professional reviews from all over the Web. Well, I hope my review has been helpful to you, may you all make wise decisions. Good luck to you.

Color ink cartridge for the NEC 150C SuperScript inkjet printer

Customer Reviews:

NEC 100C Superscript Color Inkjet Cartridges.......2001-09-27

Although it is incredibly easy to install
- - as are most inkjet cartridges - -
even brand new NEC 100C Superscript cartridges
have a tendency to "dry out" and become useless
after a very short time, unless they are used frequently.

It seems that once "started",
the ink either evaporates or solidifies
at the cartridge's output/printhead/nozzle
(or whatever you call it!)

I use my color printer only once a month or so,
and only a few pages (with relatively little ink used),
so it is a VERY expensive proposition to buy cartridges
at that same frequency!

After the first such "dry out" problem,
I tried storing subsequent cartridges in the little receptacle
that came with the printer, but it didn't help.
I even tried wrapping it in wax paper and plastic wrap,
but all those did was create a messy blob of ink on the wrapping!

I also tried cleaning the cartridge's print heads
with isopropyl alcohol and/or water,
but that wasn't any help, either
(n.b., cleaning the heads in such a manner is not recommended
by the mfr, but since the cartridge was pretty much useless
at that point, I felt that I had to try SOMETHING!).

And, since no chain store carries NEC Superscript 100C
cartridges, I am forced to buy them online or via mail order,
which means having to spend extra money on shipping and handling,
and having to wait for the product to be shipped,
assuming it's not on backorder!

I'd also like to know why someone hasn't come up with a way
to put the "smarts" (i.e., the electronic strip)
of most manufacturer's cartridges
onto the printer rather than the cartridge.
That would, at least, reduce the cost significantly.

The drying-out problem needs to be fixed!
(NEC isn't alone with this problem)

Perfect PDA at a great size.......2005-03-05

I love my RIM 950 Blackberry now that I have one. I had heard about them from everyone, and even seen one in a movie, so I finally caved and got one. This little tiny thing is amazing, and with all the things it can do. I might as well toss my pager away as we speak. It's about the size of a pager (maybe a little bigger) but it makes you feel as if it is a pager.

That's probably one of the main things I like about the Blackberry. It's sheer size helps it get carried anywhere you need it. It even fits into a shirt pocket. I hate carrying things on my belt (it'll probably look dumb anyway), so I just have it in my pocket. The keyboard is also fairly original and it's 100% easier to use than handwriting recognition by far, and since the blackberry doesn't have a touch screen, all the browsing is done by a control wheel which is actually easier than it looks when you try it. I wish the backlight was brighter, though. It would help a lot.

I'm not sure I want to purchase service yet, so I just use it for it's scheduler, and the other things such as Address Book, Memopad, Tasks (also know as To Do list), Calender, Calculator, and the Alarm (very useful). All of these things come in handy for someone who constantly forgets things, and that's exactly why I finally got one. It saved me for sure. For instance, just yesterday I was getting two of my relatives addresses, and I didn't have any paper (it was at a party) and so I whipped out my Blackberry and jotted it down into the Address Book.

I have only one complaint. It eats up batteries like there's no tomorrow if you turn it off. It's better to leave it on if you're reading my review and you're planning to get one. Surprisingly, it actually keeps a really good battery time life if you leave it on. I was flabbergasted when I figured this out. It's great how it only needs one AA battery to do everything it does. A great PDA which I recommend to any business person who doesn't always want to lug around a lap top.

Not a good fit for me.......2003-09-27

My main complaint about the 950 seems trivial, but is actually pretty important. I absolutely refuse to wear this thing on my belt, so I keep it in my handbag. Well, the holster is not rigid enough, so the device turns itself on when I'm not paying attention and eats up batteries like you wouldn't believe. Now it seems like every time I pick it up the battery is dead. The device is almost worthless to me at this point. I wish I'd purchased the 957 instead. At least it is rechargable.

Great, great device.......2003-06-16

This thing saved my life. I am chronically disorganized (always writing things down on slips of paper and losing them, forgetting appointments, and such). Well, now I have it all in one place and it nags me enough so I can't forget anything! I love these things.

The only reason I held back and gave it 4 stars instead of five is because it eats so many batteries I might have to get a second job soon just to keep it supplied. I have to replace the battery every 2 days or so, that seems to be an awful lot.

But the other functions more than make up for the battery-eating capacity! Don't let that deter you (plus you can always use the docking cradle and use A/C power when you're not on the go (not really often enough in my life for the docking cradle to be very useful though!)

Needs help to stay in place.......2003-04-10

I cannot live without this device.

That said, I would like the home address of the imbecile who designed the holster. The unit flies out of its holster at every opportunity - going up or down stairs, running to your car in the rain, etc. (One of my co-workers lost one of these getting off the commode, I'll give you one guess as to where it landed.)

The 950 itself is an excellent product, despite all the spills mine have taken over the past 2 1/2 years, I've only broken two both of which landed in puddles in parking lots. It has handled the impacts surprisingly well.

Great Technology.......2002-12-03

This is so easy to use. I've been looking for something that everyone can figure out/use. This is it! Anyone can set it up and start using it the same day. If you're familiar with email there is no real learning curve. It's also small and stylish. I am so impressed that I've ordered more for the rest of my department. It works like a dream!
This beats the heck out the bigger handhelds.
