New Belkin TuneBase FM Transmitter Charger Dock w/ Hands-Free for Apple iPhone 3G / 3GS Review

New Belkin TuneBase FM Transmitter Charger Dock w/ Hands-Free for Apple iPhone 3G / 3GS

I used this product with my iPod Touch 3G - 64GB and had less that pleasing results.
My iPod fit great, as did my friend's iPhone 3gs. The simplicity of plugging the devices in, and pushing it back to "lock in" works awesome. It is also very adjustable to fit pretty much any iPod made.
The first issue is with interference from the DC port. My car, like many, has a noisy ground loop. For this reason I use a ground loop isolator (GLI) to get rid of whines, whistles, and engine noise when I have a device plugged into the 12 volt port to charge. I was astounded that a device with an MSRP of $99.99 wouldn't have any sort of GLI built in. Not only that, but the device seemed way more susceptible to this noise than my cheap USB and iPod specific car chargers.
Another CON for this unit is that you need to plug in the Dock Connector AND an audio cable. I also have a cheaper, but much less elegant looking FM adapter/mount sold under various name brands including 'GTMax Permium' and it pulls the audio right out of the dock connector, so it is much less hassle to connect and disconnect the iPod. This cheaper unit also has a much stronger FM transmitter AND has a built in GLI to stop most of the engine noise I pick up with the Belkin unit.
I would not recommend this unit to friends or family. Only the fit and finish of the mount saves the Belkin TuneBase FM Transmitter from 1 star status.

Bose SL2 wireless surround link - Wireless audio delivery system for rear speakers Review

Bose SL2 wireless surround link - Wireless audio delivery system for rear speakers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently moved to a new house, and didn't want to drill holes in the walls or floor to get the wires to the back of the room. I was somewhat skeptical about this product and concerned with sound quality. However, I'm happy to say there is absolutely no difference between using the SL2 and hard wiring the rear speakers!
a) The system is made up of two receivers. They are both very small, and are easily concealable.
b) The front receiver plugs into the base module with 2 wires (left & right speaker wires)
c) The rear speakers plug into the rear receiver.
d) Installation complete!
This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to all.

Azden WMS-PRO Wireless Microphone System Review

I'm a bit surprised at the reviewer who gave only three stars to this system and said in his title: "I haven't used this system." How can anyone rate it without using it?
I've used this system for years and have gotten great sound. I've also used higher-priced wireless systems, and to my ear, there is no difference. Also, this cheap little Azden system is still going strong after some of the other brands bit the dust.
I don't think wireless lav systems can get the great audio you get with a shotgun mic, a boom, and a sound person, but those things are just not in my budget.
