It's wire
Customer Rating

It is wire, after all. After 100 years, who could get away with bad wire these day? But having said that, there is one draw back. Most wire, especially specialty wire, is marked in order to identify the polarity of the wire. This is not. I had to literally trace all the wire to identify which end was which. You may ask, why? This is important because if you get one speaker reversed, you will have reversed polarity in the sound between the speakers, which not only creates a dead zone in the room but also consumes additional power. Without correction, this severely interferes with not only the performance of whatever equipment you are using, but also the enjoyment due to the degraded quality. It is only the slack of marking that reduces it from five stars to four stars, the wire itself is fine. While slightly off topic, I want to mention one other thing: regardless of the distances involved, make all wires the same length. Wire has resistance and a different lengths have different resistances which affects the "balance" of the system. Also choose the largest wire you can afford as the larger the wire the lower the resistance, the more you will get out of your system. This wire is a good size for most applications. If you want to be cheap, do NOT do it on the wire or the speakers. It does not matter how good all the front end equipment is, if the speakers or wire is junk, it WILL sound terrible.

First the down side. It is an "open" style headset (the first I have ever owned) and as such, it does not provide the acoustic isolation that I am use to and prefer. Having said that, they are simply AMAZING! The frequency response rivals my main speakers (AR-90s) and was simply blown away. The clarity and presentation is better than every other headset that I have ever tried. A real plus is the long cord length. With every other head set I need one or two extensions, but with this long cord I can work at my desk, go around to my printer, or sit in my easy chair and listen to the music. It is great that someone has the good sense to realize that we will not be sitting within a couple of feet of the amplifier! It is a real joy to listen with this headset. It took me a long time to make up my mind to buy them because of the price (and being "open") but they are worth it and I am very glad that I purchased them - and would do it again if the need arose!

Almost all of this type of devices, surge protector or not, have the cord coming out of the same end as the switch (because it is cheaper to make). You either have to reach through all the cords to get to the switch or find some way to deal with its own cord. This APC surge protector has solved the problem. While the photographs do not show it, the power cable can be turned to go in either direction! This means that the switch can be placed where it is convenient and all the cords go together out of sight. It is well made and provides good protection. The outlet orientation are different so they more easily accommodate wall worts and regular plugs. The power switch goes on easy but a little more effort is needed to turn it off - probably because it also resets the circuit breaker. It is a little expensive, but the convenience of having the cord go in either direction is well worth it. I usually look at the Joules and go as cheap as I can for the Joules I want but that has changed since I tried this APC protector.

With more and more "toys" to add to our computers and computers have fewer and fewer slots, this 7 port hub is a great answer to the problem. The cable is long enough to bring the frequently needed connections close to me and allows easy plug in of a flash drive. It worked first time, flawlessly, and I could not be more pleased.

Where we live the radio signal tends to loose a channel every little bit. With this antenna, that almost never happens. It is easy to install, but the wires are too short and the included adapter was the wrong size for our use (it would not make good contact with the antenna connector on the back of the receiver. Overall, very pleased with the unit and would buy it again.

Fanciful, challenging, and fun to play; although the map is not as useful as in other games and finding a solution sometimes takes a lot longer than my tolerance wants to give.

The first section single player, for me, is hopeless. The multiplayer is good, similar to Battlefront I. But it is not the best new game -- that would be Destiny 2.
