DT400W vs DT200X...they seem about the same except for NOAA on the 400. Did you consider both? Why the 200 and not the 400?Thanks,George

I was not looking for NOAA so I did not look at the other one. The one i purchased appeared to do what I wanted and it had great reviews .

Did not consider both. The DT-200 had all the features I was looking for at the time.

I have one of each. Not much difference. I set up the yellow one for travel, and the black one for at home.

Hey,I ended up buying the WDEUBK10000N. So far no issues. It's build seems to be able to take more "abuse" then my last one which looked more like the WDH1U. It's quiet enough; I had to actually put it to my ear to here to see if it was on. Not sure on the temp because I don't keep it running all the time.

Why don't you read the specs?I have the 320s-4 and it's perfect unless you want to shave in the shower. I think that's the only difference.

Pete, I used my new 610 with my brother in laws 500 series hunting this last year. We had good voice reception over 3+ miles in hilly terrain. We really did not get to try them in longer ranges than that. My experience with the mapping was spotty. It may have been because of the model differences (610 vs 500 series) but I was not getting good location marks from my Bro in laws radio.

True, you can buy a credible Sony or Panasonic pocket radio for less than ten bucks at this site. But have you really priced Weather Alert (NOAA-type) radios lately? Most of the ones around $20-30 are junk and don't last. This Sangean model DT-400W has been with me for two years, both indoors and out, and is relatively easy to set program and reset -- basically, if you know how to set- and reset most other contemporary Weather Alert radios, this is going to be easier or about the same. I consider the model handsome in its own right. That "rain slicker yellow" makes it easy to find (I have mixed feelings about Oregon Scientific's recent imitation of it). And it's anywhere you want it to be. Look at the "one" or "two" star reviews of other leading products from Sangean or Sony or Midland and in most cases, you will find that the downgrades were made out of painful experiences: models that couldn't be reset, weren't loud enough, pulled in FM poorly, or died after a year. I can say I have had good experiences with my DT-400 and like it more now that when I bought it. BTW I actually paid a buck or two more two years ago than the model can be had for at this date and at this site.

Dear Thomas,Thanks so much for your inqiury. Speakers are such an individual choice--both the Energy and Definitive are excellent choices. Definitive satellites may be a tad larger and a little fuller sound, but everyone's ear is different! Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Hey MelissaS, I've been researching the Garmin GPS's for a couple of weeks and can tell you the differences I've seen. The 255W has a few of "new" features in their 2x5 line but the two that I've seen people the most happy with in the reviews I've read are the satellite "hotfix" and the faster processor. The "hotfix" is supposed to speed up satellite acquisition immensely by having the unit remember where it was turned off last so it can calculate where the satellites should be when you turn it back on and from what I've read it works like a charm. The faster processor will speed up things like map drawing and looking up points of interest which people have really seemed to also notice in their reviews. The big drawback of the 255 and 255w is the text to speech voice quality (this is the voice that pronounces street names). Apparently the voice quality isn't as good on the 255 line as it is in the previous products due to the voice engine Garmin has used in this model...most people I've read say they can live with it but some bring it back due to the quality. I would goto a store and try both side by side to see if you can live with the quality. I did that today and was able to understand what the 255w was saying even in a busy store but still think I'll wait for the 265WT in October. Hope that helps!

Well after much debate and searching for the best price, I finally pulled the trigger on the Elite VSX-21TXH. Found a deal on Ebay that was just too good to pass up ($510 shipped). And since the VSX-1019 was similarly priced, it was an easy decision to go with the 21TXH. BTW, both the 1019 and the 9040 are both still right around the $500 mark. I'm certain I'll be happy with performance of this elite AVR. =)

The newer 400 might have some advantage with the subwoofer being long throw floor firing. Not sure if its a $200 advantage. Other than that I highly recommend getting a 60.6 set while they last. I have been extremely pleased.

If you bought the same unit I did the 83/200 didn't provide the downscan and HDI promised. Had to buy the HDI transducer after the fact. I called Lowrance and asked them about this. The guy I talked to said some people don't want the HDI downscan feature of the unit. I said really? Why would you buy an HDI finder if you didn't really want it? Anyway, no. Hook up the new transponder to your unit and keep the old one if you plan on adding another finder to the bow on a trowling motor etc... I'm thinking of selling the 83/200 on e-bay or my local shopper for the ice fisherman. The angle of the transducer is also important. need to play with it a bit. great unit, enjoy!

I recommend a dx6i if it fits your budget. But any dsm radio will work. Even the stock basic 2.4 ghz transmitters from a hobby zone champ for example will work

I own both. Bought one of first 18-200s made in Japan to go with my first dslr: D50 that I got for a trip to the Bahamas. Have wonderful images I still enjoy. Now have lightweight D5000 and super D7000. Bought 18-140 for light weight to hike w/D5000. Use 28-200 w/D7000 otherwise.Both focus quickly, iq is similar. Both have VR but 200 has active mode for shooting while moving, which I love. So 140 wins on weight, price, while 200 adds focal length and versatile VR.

I'm getting ready to order the 400mm. I already have the 70-200L 2.8 IS and if I wanted the extra reach with zoom, I could put my 1.4x teleconverter on it, making it a [roughly] 100-280 f4.0. I don't have the 100-400 to compare, but I'd guess the sharpness is about the same between the 100-400 and the 70-200 + 1.4x. I still wouldn't have the reach between 280-400 but I'd have the sharpness when I need it. I can always attempt to move my feet to frame a subject with a prime if I'm too close. Read the reviews and decide for yourself.

I notice wildly different ratings on this and other inverters. I need to power a stereo receiver - about 1200 W, with 2 Bose outdoor speakers set pretty loud. Any thoughts on how I should evaluate suitability? Can I be sure my T & C minivan can power this setup? Thanks for any info. - THT

I think that many of us (Me!) would love to hear what others feel about Mr. Timofei's statement that the S700 has "CD Direct" which makes "a huge difference in the sound." If that's so,...I certainly want a 700 rather than a 500 or a 300. How do you 300 and 500 owners feel?!

I had one SA12 on 1200watts and it handled it like a champ. These subs are way underrated. Look into the Soundqubed HDS300's. They are about $50.00 cheaper. I replaced my SA with one and the HDS rapes the SA. Optimal enclosure specs on both. The Hds plays the lower end and the higher end quite noticeably better. But taking nothing away from the SA's. They are badass!

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!
