KMS - Car Multiple Cigarette Socket Two-outlet 12 volt DC Adapter

from: KMS PRODUCTS


Does the job well, exactly what I needed. First one I ordered from KMS had an issue (not their fault), but they sent a new one immediately. So the product ticks the right boxes, and my experience with the vendor has been excellent. Hope this helps.

Had this for around 5 months and works well, what more can you say? I have my Ipod, Sat Nav and phone charger plugged into this in my car.

4 way DC power bank

from: Skytronic


I got it and used it for almost 2 weeks now and it works fine, it doesn't lose connection as I heard other splitters do. Has a 10A fuse so it should be good for any gadget. The main wire may be a bit thin for 10A - I only used it for ~4 Amps - but I assume they are all like that.

Live from Nowhere in Particular

by: Joe Bonamassa

August 25, 2008
What a disappointment!

I put this into the cd player hoping to be blown away by some seriously good blues/rock but....well, 6 plays later, I'm still waiting. Maybe it's too American for my taste but if you want good blues/rock music tune into Paul Rodgers, Free, Ian Siegal etc.

Joe Bonamassa can certainly play (apparently he opened for BB King when he was 12!) but I couldn't discern any connection with the noise coming out of the speakers.

Soul-less.

Black Ice

by: AC/DC

October 20, 2008
There are decent riffs on this album that lift it above some of the more lackadaisical offerings of Brian Johnston-era AC/DC (the equally forgettable Fly on the Wall, Ballbreaker, and Stiff Upper Lip), but it's a predominantly pedestrian set of songs.
Considering 8 years has elapsed since their last studio release (Stiff Upper Lip - although work began on Black Ice in 2006), you might expect them to pool their combined talent to write a more dynamic collection of songs - the album becomes repetitive and the songs indistinguishable after half way.

I've been listening to AC/DC since I first heard them on Australian radio as a schoolboy in the 1970s, and I've been consistently disappointed since Flick of the Switch (1983) precipitated ... Read More:

Sloe Gin

by: Joe Bonamassa

August 27, 2007
I just want to add my voice to the crowd: Bonamassa is more than you expect. I have bought all his records now, and there is no disappointment, I am very very impressed with him: good voice, massive sound, an amazing knowledge of the classics of blues and rock, and a style of his own who can also perfectly emulate the great names when needed. He is fulfilling expectations coming from the hype around him. HE DESERVES IT. I have not been impressed as much with someone since Stevie Ray played Texas Flood in my ears many years ago. MUST HAVE FOR ALL BLUES FANS!! Not only this CD! ALL OF THEM !!!

Pure PocketDAB 1500 Personal Rechargeable DAB/FM Digital Radio

from: Pure

August 09, 2007
I bought this portable dab radio for use whilst walking and cycling, ie for outside pursuits.So I can only vouch for the performance of this device as my main use was as above. The clarity and reception of dab radio is superb with no crackling or hiss from normal FM radio, how ever this radio does not like concrete ie subways and the like. Indoors can be a problem as there can be a problem with reception as the ear phone is the aerial , this wasn`t a dissapointment as this radio is portable and in my eyes designed for out door use which suits my needs perfectly. In short I can`t understand all the negative reviews in relation to reception etc I live in London so reception is not a problem. I would recommend this device to any one using it for outdoor pursuits ... Read More:

Death Magnetic Limited Edition

by: Metallica

September 12, 2008
I'm not much given to hyperbole and "ace" is not a word I've used much since I was 14, twenty years ago, but then I haven't enjoyed an album this much since 1988 either. Certainly not one by Metallica. Death Magnetic, however, is just...ace.

Good To Be Bad (Limited Edition Box) (2CD)

by: Whitesnake

April 21, 2008
It's strange to see how split opinions are on this album but I'm sure David Coverdale would rather elicit strong views either way than just have everyone say "Yes, it's okay I suppose".

Personally I wasn't overly impressed when I first played it. In fact I was very disappointed. However, as Whitesnake played such an important role in my musical development I persevered for a couple more listens and boy am I glad I did. While it is not perfect, it is still a very strong addition to the catalogue. I'd advise those of you who binned it earlier to revisit it and you might just realise that you made a mistake.

Live In Gdansk (2CD & DVD)

by: David Gilmour

September 22, 2008
Just a beautiful album, with the band sounding so relaxed and note perfect. I really do recommend this so much. And don't forget to pop the DVD into your PC for the extra mp3s: so far there's 'Wot's Uh...the Deal', Dominoes and a rather amazing Shine On You Crazy Diamond. A new track will be added every month until September 2009. How great a package is this! :-)
