DAB radios for hi-fi nutters

Love radio to the extent that a psychologist might be interested in your case? Forget the half-hearted squealing of kitchen radios, these are full-blown stackable hi-fi separates. If you have an existing amplifer and speakers, these are the DAB tuners you should be looking at... Read more

Sony ST-SDB900 review

Sony has delivered a strong offering to the entry-level hi-fi enthusiast. At this price, the ST-SDB900 is an exceptionally capable tuner, with ease of set-up and sound quality at the head of its list of attributes. The currently low bit rate of UK DAB broadcasts hinders its performance, though Read more

Samsung YP-T8 review

The 1GB, flash-based Samsung YP-T8 can't boast the small dimensions of the iPod Shuffle, but then the Shuffle doesn't reveal what it's playing. In contrast, the YP-T8 features a 41mm colour screen, and -- impressively for such a small device -- will even play video Read more

Yamaha AW1600 review

Renting a studio with equivalent hardware to the Yamaha AW1600 can cost upwards of £100 an hour, so recorders like this are becoming increasingly viable. With the AW1600, you get a 16-track studio (or eight when recording at 24-bit) packed into a desk not much larger than a briefcase Read more

Eclipse TD 307PA review

The Eclipse TD 307PA redefines what small speaker systems are capable of. A far cry from the weedy aspirations of PC surround-sound packages, the Eclipses are acoustically transparent reference monitors in the smallest package we've ever seen -- and they've a price to match Read more

MP3 players to say "I love you"

According to Baz Lurman's Moulin Rouge, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return". Of course 19th century Paris hadn't been exposed to rampant consumer capitalism yet... Read more

PURE Digital DRX-702ES review

The DRX-702ES is ostensibly the most high-end DAB radio unit we've looked at. Within the inherent limitations of current DAB radio broadcasts, it's equipped to deliver the fidelity of sound that audiophiles demand -- its impressive specs suggest that the weakest link should be the broadcast source, not the receiver Read more

PQI mPack P600 review

For portable movie watching the PQI mPack P600 is hard to beat -- the 100mm widescreen TFT LCD is sharp and vibrant, it's one of the biggest we've seen on a portable player. Also especially impressive is the P600's ability to feed full-resolution video to a massive external display Read more

Sony XDR-S20 review

There's a hint of Bakelite about the XDR-S20's plastic chassis, but apart from that, there's little mistaking this for a vintage model. Solidly built, and with a clear LCD display, this falls down on the quality of its single-speaker sound and, particularly, a confusing interface Read more

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB) review

Though it's not as small as the new iPod, and its interface doesn't trump the Clickwheel, the 30GB Zen Vision:M is a real video player -- while on the iPod, video remains a novelty. It's slightly more expensive than Apple's world-conqueror, but the improved screen and number of video formats available more than make up for it Read more
