ENERGY e:XL eXL 15 2-Way Bookshelf Main Stereo Speakers

Enjoy a rich sonic experience whether listening to music CDs or DVD soundtracks with this pair of Energy eXL-15 two-way bookshelf speakers. Poised at the intersection of high fashion and high tech, the speakers employ Energy's proprietary tweeter, woofer baffle, and cabinet technology to virtually eliminate distortion, producing crisp, accurate sound that precisely reflects the recording. Each speaker boasts a 5.5-inch injection-molded polypropylene cone woofer with a nitril rubber surround and a molded Spherex copolymer basket that eliminates the "ringing" common to many models. Meanwhile, each 0.5-inch aluminum dome tweeter features a cloth suspension that produces a superb transient response, along with a tuned Ultrasonic Acoustic Filter (UAF) that optimizes dispersion and protects the ultra-light dome. The end result of the driver technology is natural highs, rich midrange tones, and deep, musical bass.

Of course, modern speakers need to look as good as they sound, and the eXL-15s excel in this area as well. The speakers are enriched by a bold, slim cabinet with a white finish that easily integrates into any home environment. Adding to the cabinets' value is the thick medium-density fiberboard (MDF) construction, which features Energy's Interloc 360 bracing system to reduce resonance and improve bass performance.

Additional technical specifications include a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20 kHz, recommended power handling of 15 to 100 watts, 90 dB room efficiency, and a crossover point of 2.5 kHz. The speakers, which feature five-way binding post connections for the best possible sound, measure 6 by 10 by 9.25 inches (W x H x D) each and are backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

TEAC RW CD22 Dual Deck CD Player & Recorder w/ Remote +

INCLUDED ARE:

Teac RW CD22 CD Recorder
Remote Control
14 NEW TDK Music CD-R Discs
Owner's Manual
Now you burn CDs in the comfort of your living room with no need to use your computer as a go-between. Teac's dual-deck RW-CD22 CD recorder offers quality components and ample connectivity to help you bring your treasured cassettes, LPs, videocassettes, and radio broadcasts into the digital world.

Using a component CD recorder maintains audio quality during CD-to-CD transfers and greatly simplifies the process of generating CDs from analog sources. Deck one plays, while deck two records (either at 1x or high-speed 2x). One each optical and coaxial digital-audio input and output facilitate hookup with a CD or minidisc player/recorder and a surround receiver or integrated amplifier, while analog RCA inputs and outputs accommodate just about any audio source.

Ensuring the highest quality possible from your analog sources, the deck uses 24-bit analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. In addition to random and repeat play, the RW-CD22 offers programmable playback so you can alter the order of the source tracks on the CD you're recording. This deck also lets you adjust the recording level in digital domain, altering the signal level of older CDs mastered too low in level and/or new CDs mastered too "hot" to blend with other material on, for instance, a compilation you're assembling.

You can feed the recorder digital-audio signals from minidisc or DAT recorded at 32 or 48 kHz sampling rates, and the RW-CD22 performs sampling-rate conversion to CD's native 44.1 kHz on the spot. A choice of auto or manual track writing lets you take the reigns to determine where the song breaks will be--or you can simply put the recorder on auto-pilot (with digital recordings) and it will duplicate the track start and end points found on your source disc.

You can record up to 80 minutes of your favorite music and songs from any number of sources on either write-once CD-R or rewritable CD-RW. In either case, you must use the slightly more expensive CD-DA (designated "music" or "audio" recordables) to compensate the record labels for perceived piracy losses.

The player/recorder comes with a 34-key, full-function remote control and a front-panel headphone jack for private listening.

Technical Details:

Dual-well component CD recorder integrates with your hi-fi system--no need to use your computer (2x high-speed recording)
Optical digital-audio input and output, line-level analog input and output
Sampling-rate converter (32 kHz/48 kHz to 44.1 kHz); shuffle and repeat play, track programming
24-bit analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converters ensure high-quality recordings and pleasing CD playback
Dimension: W. 17 1/4" x H. 4" x D. 12 3/4"
Weight: 12 lbs. 8 oz.

SONY EV S900 Video Hi8 8mm Stereo VCR Recorder Player

Your old videos have a life of 5 to 10 years. Maybe a few more if you're lucky. After that, the magnetic oxide on the tape drops off, and makes the tape unviewable. This process is called "Dropoff."

On the other hand, experts believe a DVD will last 100 years, and some think DVD's will last up to 300 years. We don't know yet for obvious reasons.

This Sony videoHi8 VCR will transfer your Hi8, 8mm memories to DVD, Laptop or PC! Also a perfect VCR to view your 8mm tapes.

To transfer to DVD or VHS simply connect to a DVD recorder. To transfer to your PC or Laptop, you will need a video converter such as the ones made by EasyCap, which you can find here on ebay or elsewhere for about $20.
