XO is better than CLR
358078
I used to use CLR to remove the hard water stains from our glass shower door. It worked okay, but it smelled very caustic and I had to wear rubber gloves to use it. This is SO much better... it's safe, doesn't smell as bad, and works beautifully!!!

I think XDuoo X3 was definitely a big surprise for me. The X3 Player is a true high resolution DSD supporting practically everything under the sun, from lossy compression MP3, WAV, OGG, ACC to lossless formats of DSD, APE, FLAC, WAV, WMA, and Apple up to 192kHz/24bit. I was especially impressed with native handling of DSD files decoded in hardware and the large capacity memory,256 gb, amazing really, so I did not have to worry about the shortage of the Capacity

I have owned the Olight M20SX at 500 Lumens with XML emitter excellent flashlight but has a greenish tint. Very nice case quality construction gave as a gift to brother. Also owned the Fenix TK21. Great flashlight but the Klarus XT 11 is better for a few reasons.

#1. Much brighter than anything in its class.
#2. When using special RCR123 batteries it can boost up to close to 700 Lumens some have said in certain well respected flashlight forums
#3. Dual buttons on the tail cap is the best user interface of all best design tactically.
#4. XML U2 Emitter perfectly on center nice cool white light no off yellow or green tints.
#5. The Strobe mode momentary or constant on from one special button is great for many reasons A) immediately distracts any animal dogs or forest animal, B) can be used as a bike light mounted when strobing C) Blinds and disorients any muggers or thugs the strobe varries randomly so your enemy can not adjust to it.
#6. Crenelated, strike bezel will hurt anyone if struck with it will be easy to break glass if needed

I could go on adding positive things but I will be fair and note some draw backs. Some lights do the same to protect the high output emitters from overheating have thermal protection sensors the XT 11 states on the manual that after 3 Minutes at 600 Lumens it will drop to 70% at 420 Lumens, but How long will you really need full 600 Lumens for. Or Just turn off after 3 minutes turn on again at full 600 Lumens you can keep doing that over and over so its not a big deal.

Again this IMO is better than the newest Olight M20SX 500 Lumens XML and Fenix TK21 XML U@ version, Also much better than similar Eagletac with more lumens because of the Klarus XT 11 and its superior use rinterface dual switches.

I exchanged them for the XC version much nicer build much much better sound then these! Well it's been over 2 months now  and my XC souls are hanging in there they still sound fantastic they're broking in now and they sound better than ever before just a little update for your people who are still hesitant still XC are a great value and I wear them every night! I fall asleep with them on and these are just fine! They really do!!! And I paid for them!!! Not a  paid review!!! Try it , Your love them you can always send them back if your unhappy with them!!!

I don't do reviews, but, I picked up a can of this at a local gun shop this weekend. as a "Smith" I am always looking for a new product that works. Although I have not run this particular product through all the hoops, it does show a lot of potential (enough for me to buy a second can). At this point I believe it might be superior to previous versions of CLP. Will keep you posted...

My old writer died, and I did some extensive research before I decided on this unit. Here are the factors that made me shell out my hard earned money for this brand.
The Pros:
Hardware/Technology:
Prevents buffer underruns (bad copies/coasters). Yamaha calls it Safeburn buffer management system, and it's just as good as burn-proof/justlink used in other non-Yamaha drives. Actually, it might be better because there is no linking (no gaps) in data due to the use of P-CAV writing technology (as opposed to Z-CLV used by all the other brands, which does leave links). Having no gaps is preferable (better quality burn). It has 8 MB of buffer memory as opposed to 2 MB offered by most other brands.
The drive also does write speed control. It tries to evaluate the condition of the media and adjust the writing speed to match its condition.
Yamaha is also the only company that's using the CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) writing technology. In CAV, maximum speed can be reached by smooth acceleration without any links, which is not possible in CLV without making links. From the reviews I've seen, the RPM of the drive stays below 6000 RPM. Lower RPM translates into less noise and vibration. Because there is less noise and vibration, it's not subject to as many errors. In general, it'll ensure high-quality (and linkless) write.
It's also Flash upgradable. It also supports DAO-RAW and Subchannels (as well as other modes, Track at Once, Disc At Once, CD-Text, etc... read the description). It also has great re-write performance compared to other drives of similar caliber, and probably the best packet writing performance (CAV is better at it than CLV). It also supports UDMA-33. Oh, it also has one of the fastest DAE (digitional audio extraction).
And if you've heard in the past that Yamaha drives are noisy, then you'll be glad to know that Yamaha has listened to their customers because this drive is a WHOLE LOT quieter than previous Yamaha drives.
Software:
It comes bundled with Nero 5.5.2.8. I can tell you from YEARS of using Nero that this is a quality software. The design and user interface may have a bit higher learning curve, but you'll be glad Yamaha didn't bundle it with EZ CD-Creator because Nero is a far more powerful package.
The cons:
These are the reasons that I didn't gave it 4 stars and not 5. If you make backup copies of games which has safedisc2 protection on it, this drive won't do it. The P-CAV writing technology it uses is a little bit slower than the Z-CLV (albeit better quality), but it's not so much slower that you'll really notice in practical use. But I'd go for better quality burns over faster burns (and not by that much!) any day.
Bottom line:... It seems like a quality unit. It took me less than 3 minutes to install it, and my computer detected it right away. I've burned 10 CDs (dreamcast games, mp3s, audio, regular data cd) as soon as I got it without a single problem. While I was burning the CDs I started and ran many programs -- no buffer underrunds... the drive kept going and going. By the way, before I finally decided on this drive, I also tried the TDK VeloCD 12x (which is really a Plextor 12x -- but no support for subchannel), TDK VeloCD 24X, and the Yamaha 2100 (2200's predecessor). If you read this review and think you like the Yamaha, and you decide to buy the 2100 instead of the 2200 due to the price difference, I would recommend you not do that. The 2100 is really noisy, vibrates too much, and it lacks the Safeburn technology.

I am sorry but I don't like the Platiquemos as much as the original FSI Programmatic Spanish. Some things are best left alone and I think FSI Programmatic Spanish is one of them. I also didn't like the Barrons FSI Spanish as much as the original FSI Programmatic Spanish.

I did the original FSI Programmatic Spanish quite a while ago and passed the cassettes on to a friend that wanted to learn Spanish. I am doing the FSI Programmatic Spanish once again now (as a review). I just bought the LearningSpanishLikeCrazy.com Spanish course since everyone else was bragging about it and saying that they were getting good results. LearningSpanishLikeCrazy.com gives you FSI Programmatic Spanish one and two as bonus gifts. No need to buy them at [...] when you can get them as bonuses with  Learning Spanish Like Crazy.

While I was reviewing with the FSI Programmatic Spanish, I realized that I learned a lot quicker and grasped the Spanish grammar with the original FSI Programmatic Spanish better than I am doing with Platiquemos Spanish. I also noticed that the speakers in FSI Programmatic Spanish spoke at a pace that was more typical of the speed that Latinos actually speak. The speakers in Platiquemos were speaking slower than Latinos really speak. I felt that this did not prepare me for realistic everyday conversations with Latinos.

Very nicely made. Clamps tightly. Only order the XR if you plan to zero the scope at 200yrds or more. Otherwise use the standard model.

Anyone who works with printers knows the stress level they cause on a daily basis. Hearing good things about X-Rite I took the plunge to get our monitors in sync with our array of @#%#$%#$ @#$%@#% (stress inducing) printers.

I was impressed out of the box to see a well packaged, and nicely designed product. It looks nice, but right away I could tell the mechanism to change modes (rotate the white LED) was wonky. After you calibrate the device, it is almost impossible to avoid accidentally pressing the button when rotating it down. This wastes 30 seconds or so every time you fail as you have to calibrate again if you hit it. There is nothing to grip onto when rotating, so in this respect the design is poor.

I would love to give a more thorough review, but I was only able to activate the device on two of four computers, of course neither of the two we use to print. X-Rite seems to be a huge fan of software DRM when selling a $400 hardware solution. I'm sure you could use their software to work with a cheaper hardware solution, but I bought the device for the hardware, not the substandard and bloated software it ships with.

The device simply wasn't recognized at all for activation on USB 3.0 ports (despite it showing up as properly installed on the device manager), and on the first two computers (running Windows 7) it never activated. It did however work on the Surface Pro 2, and MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. We personally switched from Mavericks to Windows after Mavericks broke almost every printer and device driver possible. I read on the X-Rite site that they have released a patch, so Mavericks users might be ok to use this product. Some of the newer Macs only come with USB 3.0 ports, so you might be out of luck there as well. YMMV.

Overally, the software was buggy, laggy, and the tutorial videos were helpful, but they were still unclear. I figured everything out though without much trouble, but the I might as well have not read the manual or watch the OEM videos. The most confusing part of using this product is scanning the color bars. There's no advice on where to start and finish, only a vague video, and diagram. It took me a few minutes before I got the hang of it. I don't think this is a big deal at all as there are plenty of tutorial videos online on how to use this product.

As for the color correction, and profile building, it does seem to do what it says on the tin...if you can get it to activate.

Verdict:

Don't stand for companies that use DRM that can render legally purchased equipment useless. The DRM failure, and the lack of USB 3.0 support, makes an average product, with a few minor flaws,one to definitely avoid. It's going back, and I plan to pick up a Spyder.

Huge improvements from Gar*** models.
User experience is more inituitive, Minimal learning curve from Gar***.
Not going back to Gar***.

I gave my daughter my X2 so I can get this one. The thing that I liked about the X2 that the X3 doesn't have is you can see the volume number. The X3 only has a tone. The X3 looks more stylish. It works like a charm and is a lifesaver for me. My work truck has just a radio in it and I hate listening to local radio stations. I set the station on the X3, connect my phone and go. It also has a USB slot to charge your phone/device.

Very high quality SDR with outstanding performance. Very much worth the price.

If you're like me you did a lot of research beforehand on which SDR to buy (if it is your first SDR purchase). My research really boiled down to two SDRs, this one and the RTL-SDR V.3&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/RTL-SDR-Blog-R820T2-RTL2832U-1PPM-TCXO-SMA-Software-Defined-Radio-with-2x-Telescopic-Antennas/dp/B011HVUEME/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">RTL-SDR Blog R820T2 RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA Software Defined Radio with 2x Telescopic Antennas</a>

Here are some key differences that you will want to know.

Bias-T: The NESDR does NOT have one, the RTL-SDR V.3 does - it can be enabled via software (no hardware mods needed) and provides 4.5 volts.
Direct Sampling: NESDR does have this, but it requires opening the enclosure and soldering. RTL-SDR V.3 can do this without hardware mod, and uses the SMA connector.

These are the two features that I find are most different. If you don't care about those features then go for the NESDR, the form factor is slightly smaller. Otherwise both of these are really good SDRs, they are extremely high quality and perform very well.

I appreciate Pur's choice of sweetener (Xylitol) and lack of titanium oxide. That said, compared to other brands, Pur's flavor doesn't last long and it grows unpleasant to chew in short order. I found B-Fresh more appealing overall.

Just wanted to point out the difference between the Sony MDR-XB300 and the Sony MDR-XB500, for the regular guy like myself

XB300 is smaller, in my opinion much comfortable and light, the design is flat.

XB500 is bigger, the design covers the whole ear, reducing outside noise more than XB300.

Both have amazing sound and bass. I have tried XBO500 and it has incredible sound, if not same. But I like XB300 much better because of the smaller light and comfortable design, listening to a lot of hours of music on the XB300 is amazing and most important comfortable.

Didn't want to say it but minor con is on both the extension is short, no problem with using a computer/laptop/ipod/, but for sitting across the living room and extension is definitely needed.

Overall I'm very satisfy and can only give this 5 stars. Good luck in your buying.

Noticably faster heal time than neosporin. To my understanding, adds a little extra oxygen back into the picture-typically lost with the alternative.

Bought this to replace my ten year old subscription to XM. I was tired of the same stale stations playing the same songs over and over as well as the sketchy sound quality. The Grace tuner will pay for itself in less than a year now that I've cancelled XM. Music choices are, as you well know, endless. Sound quality is also as good as the stream you want to pick up. Anything 96kbps and up is great with this tuner.

The menu system is a bit quirky but you get used to it in a few days. What I'd change the most on this unit is the ability to have many more presets. You can only store 12 which is an incredibly low number since you will find hundreds of stations you'd like instant access too. Hey Grace, why not have an A/B/C button with ten presets in each so you can have 30 at your fingertips? That would help a lot.

This tuner is well built, looks nice, and sounds very good. Just wish I had found it a few years ago so XM coulda been kicked to the curb earlier.

I got the MVH-X370BT over&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Pioneer-s-MVH-X560BT-Digital-Media-Receiver/dp/B00GS80OQ8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Pioneer's MVH-X560BT Digital Media Receiver</a>&nbsp;because I could not see anything different between these two units. This one shows on Amazon's page that it was first available on August 16, 2014, whereas the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/MVH-X560BT/dp/B00GS80OQ8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">MVH-X560BT</a>&nbsp;shows November 19, 2013. Upon closer inspection on Pioneer's website, one learns that the X560 has a custom color illumination option and 3 sets of RCA Preouts. This system only comes in Blue and has 1 set of RCA Preouts.

This unit replaced the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Clarion-FX150/dp/B00BCOHFBU/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Clarion FX150</a>&nbsp;that I purchased last year. The sound quality of the Pioneer is much better, but I really liked the SD card option on the Clarion. Unfortunately, the Clarion managed to chop off the first 3 or 4 seconds on every song. That was irritating.

I have already noticed a few things this unit is lacking on:

1. In the menu, there is an option to program what time the display should dim. That is nice, I guess, but all stereo systems already have a wire from the light switch. Why can't this unit just dim when the lights turn on like a factory-style device does?

2. The buttons are created in such a way that you can only read them if the backlight is turned on. I would much rather have a unit that was not as visually loud in my vehicle, because I do not like announcing that I have an aftermarket deck in my vehicle. However, if the backlight were turned off, it would be nearly impossible to read the keys. A different color choice would have been very nice. The unit's Blue Backlight is even ON when the unit itself is turned OFF.

3. The hands-free device for Bluetooth phones is AWESOME! Even if the stereo is turned OFF, it is still connected to the phone. As long as that Blue Backlight stays ON, your Bluetooth phone can still communicate through this. When the vehicle's power is turned OFF, however, the stereo actually turns completely OFF as well. That's good!

4. Calls coming in on the stereo seem to be a constant volume. Whether you have the stereo cranking Rock tunes really loud or barely trickling in some soft Classical, the music is stopped, and the phone's ringer transmits through the vehicle's speaker system at some predetermined audio level - which is acceptable.

I've only had this receiver installed in my vehicle (a 1994 Nissan Hardbody pickup) for a few days. If other stuff comes up, I'll update this review at that time.
