Denon AVR-2313CI Networking Home Theater Receiver with AirPlay and Powered Zone 2 Review

After researching all the main consumer brands (Sony, Pioneer, Denon, Onkyo, and Marantz), I settled on this particular AVR for the following reasons (in this particular order).

1. Excellent quality. If I am going to spend close to a thousand dollars on anything, it better work for the long term. Onkyo's have been reviewed to have quality problems, so I didn't want to take the chance. I have owned a Denon before, and worked like a champ.
2. Excellent audio quality. CNet regularly uses Denon as their reference audio system in their reviews, and rarely did any of the others come close according to them (they never really reviewed Marantz, but I know that they meet or exceed Denon, and are the Denon's sister company so I wasn't worried about them). As I mentioned, I had already owned a low end Denon and was extremely impressed with their sound already.
3. I really wanted Audyssey, a clear standard in the industry that is getting to be looked at like THX and Dolby, rather than any of the other company's "role your own" solution, and in particular I really wanted Audyssey DSX wide. This was the absolute least expensive system that supported that standard. Note that 9 speaker systems that support wide and height are still way, way outside this price range, so I didn't even consider one of those.

When I received the system, hooked everything together with the same mains I had before (20 year old Klipsch bookshelves and matching center, along with four Polk OWM3 for rear and Audyssey wide surrounds). After hooking up my speakers, setup through the TV UI was a breeze (including connecting it to the internet and getting a system update automatically), and Audyssey easily found the correct distances to my speakers and compensated most excellently for the weird acoustics of my living room.

When I turned on my system for the first time, in both music and with movies, I was stunned. I had no idea how good my speakers could sound. It was *amazing*. I had to play with it for a while (Dynamic EQ on or off, lowering or raising the frequency cutoff of the sub and each set of speakers individually, etc.), but it always sounded stunning. Every detail heard with perfect clarity.

And then I activated Audyssey wide, and I was *really* stunned. I could not believe how wide my sound stage had suddenly become. If you can remember when you first heard surround sound vs plain stereo (yes, I am that old), this is easily as big an improvement. When watching It really feels like you are in the middle of a scene, not just looking in on one. Things happen off to the side and you are constantly looking around to see if it happened in the movie or in your house. Car and planes really feel like they are flying right past you and heading off into the distance. And best of all, you don't need to have a movie encoded in it: it works right off my DirecTV 5.1 feed and improves it immeasurably. This was worth every penny as far as I am concerned.

Denon radio isn't bad in a pinch, but it isn't bad either. You are better off getting some sort of media player that had more support for online radio, and the remote has a selector for that (I got an MK808 for using XBMC on my NAS, which I can directly select); nevertheless, I sometimes quickly dial up some classical or classic rock when making lunch.

Now the bad. While the video pass through is awesome, and the HDMI switching is pretty good (a few seconds per switch), the video processing is terrible. I have a Panasonic P55ST30 plasma. It's not the best TV one can buy, but it is a truly awesome TV that ca be counted as a low end videophile television. I have never had any jitter from it, until I turned on the Denon video processing. That was not good at all. And without it, the onscreen menu will not overlay the TV's, but instead cuts it off, which kind of sucks. I believe this is all minor whining, and it is better to get a good TV that doesn't need your AVR's video processing, and mine clearly doesn't. The Denon supports 1.4a HDMI, and between that and better (also cheap) HDMI 1.4a high speed cables I also got from Amazon (Bluerigger for $4/each on sale), my picture still improved from my low end, older Denon, so I can't really complain.

Another quick aside: you might be wondering why I didn't get the equivalent Marantz, and it wasn't just money, although that played a good part since the Marantz SR6007 also has all the same features and would perhaps provide a slightly better sound. The problem is, "slightly better". I went and listened to one in Best Buy, and along with reading all the reviews I could find, the extra $300 or so just didn't justify what at best was a minor improvement in sound over the 2313, if any. Further, a lot of what you are paying for is a nicer, metal faceplate and some connectivity features I just didn't need. I connect my aforementioned media player and DirecTV, along with a PS3 (which, by the way, using DSX makes my games sound even more stunning), which meant a lot of what the Marantz offered that I would be paying for I didn't need.

Another bit of the bad: while I mentioned my Klipsch bookshelves sounded more amazing than all the time I had had them, the system is so good that it also exposed flaws in the speakers that I had never noticed before. Something wasn't quite right, and nothing I did improved it, so I used the $300 I saved to upgrade all my speakers around the room with Definitive Technology speakers (StudioMonitor 450 mains, Mythos 8 center, and ProCinema 60 satellites with dual Prosub 60 subwoofers). If you buy a good receiver, the hidden cost is you need the right speakers to match the sound. As I figured, the speakers were the final problem (I listened to music using strictly the 450's as a comparison), and my system now makes me beyond extremely happy.

A five star rating well earned.

Sony Xperia Z White C6603 (Factory Unlocked) International Version LTE 5" Full Hd ,13 Mp, Dust & Water Resistant Review

I just got it last week (may 13)
Nice looking and thin.
Before buying i read review claiming about screen quality, although it is tft looks really nice (of course you forget this when you see the htc one m7 screen).
About loudspeaker i think it's weak comparing to other devices due to its location, its also probable you mute it with your fingers when holding the phone
I dont know what to say about camera, it is suposed to be a really , really good one. and i still think it is. but on superior auto mode it works with random results even repeating the shoot under same condition.
System performance is good, i dont like the gadget for enabling devices. eg. you enable wifi, but you don't get available hotspot info like other devices. instead i must go then to settings and look for networks. (hope not be missing config for this)
Device is finger print magnet, but which phone isn't? i used it on U.S.A. with T Mobile, and data worked only under edge mode, device signal sensitivity was faulty in zones where using iphones with same carrier worked fine. In Venezuela i use it with Digitel and worked flawlessly in 3g+ mode.

Elinchrom EL 20852KIT D-LITE RX 4/4 Kit with Stands (Multi Color) Review

Portalites are not worth the headache of putting together. One head shipped DOA. Other head is misfiring.

The bag and the lights are good for the price, IF THEY ACTUALLY WORK. One of the heads has to go straight to warranty repair because it arrived DOA and makes horrible firecracker popping sound the minute it's plugged in. Box arrived with only one stand and two stand bags. (Poor shipping QA people!)

Don't think the portalites are worth anything. They're a real headache to put together, they assemble with crummy wire spring rods and no way to keep them attached to the inside of the softbox during assembly. Also, the speedrings are plastic(!) I would have preferred one good medium soft box or two good umbrellas and reflectors. It only comes with one umbrella reflector too. I mean, come on, really?

Then, I had trouble on a shoot a few days ago when the one working unit simply refused to fire remotely on shutter release for no apparent reason. It fired every single time I hit the test button, and my other Dlite 4 IT fired every time, so I had to put the Dlite 4RX into optical slave mode to make it work.

These things are big problems if you expect to work on a client job.

UPDATE: The warranty service center quoted me up to six week to get parts if they're not in stock! I'm simply returning the whole kit to Amazon for a replacement.

Cisco Aironet 2602I IEEE 802.11n 450 Mbps Wireless Access Point Review

This is a really great product. The flexibility is unmatched by anything I have used before. Great signal strength throughout the office. This particular model is the one that's "standalone" or in other words, does not require a separate controller system. If you are just buying one access point, this is the model you want. This is also the model with internal antennas, if you think you might want to use your own antennas, you'll want to buy a slightly different model (2602E).

Setup is challenging, expect to have to search the Cisco.com IOS documentation if you are not familiar with setting up IOS devices. It comes with a mounting plate in the box, and supports Power over Ethernet BUT it does NOT come with an AC adapter. To make use of the Gigabit Ethernet, you will probably need a separate AC adapter, or a PoE power injector that specifically supports gigabit (uses the pairs of wires in the cable for data and power simultaneously, as opposed to using 2 pairs for data and 2 for power as with 100Mbit Ethernet)

This supports MIMO 3x3, multiple VLANS, multiple SSIDs, WPA and WPA2 both enterprise and personal (although it's not labeled by such friendly names), supports dual band 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, it also supports the use of the same (or separate) SSIDs on both bands with automatic band selection (with the right firmware version). Note if you want the SSID to be broadcast/visible you need to "enable guest mode" for that particular SSID.

This is not strictly an access point, as it could also be used as a bridge, a repeater, and more depending on how your configure it. This is truly the king of access points.
