RCA RP5012 16MB Digital Voice Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Saw one of these being used at one of those ponderous all-day tech training sessions.Instead of scribbling notes, the guy using it was able to sit back and listen and comprehend, and worry about notes later.He let us play with it, and the sound quality was coherent, which was all we needed.This is not a hi-fi device.The other reviewer complained about a buzziness...we didn't hear any.We've bought our own since then, and love it.More solidly built than comparably priced Sony's.Recording can be switched between dictation and conference.Maybe the other reviewer didn't read the instructions and play with the settings options?And the externally attachable microphone will improve recording sound quality even more.Plus you can playback via the headphone jack, or even pipe the audio into your computer so that you can save the audio.Does what it says, and does it well.I've since bought two as gifts.

RCA 7-2887 Superadio III Portable AM/FM Radio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you love AM radio and are looking for a radio that has fantastic reception your choice comes down to two radios: the ccradio plus and the GE Superadio. These are the best radios on the market for fans of talk, sports, Art Bell, Phil Hendrie, etc. Which one should you buy? I have both (the GE for my office, ccradio for home) so here is my take on the two. Both have nearly equal AM reception. At night, you can easily pull in stations from hundreds of miles away (some say even over a thousand miles away but this depends on where you live). There the difference ends. The ccradio has a lot of features that I felt I wanted in a radio. It has a sleep timer, accurate digital tuning, automatic timer that turns your favorite show on at a predetermined time, scan buttons, lighted dial, power cord (not bulky adaptor), weather radio (with auto alert), memory buttons, tv audio of the network stations. The only flaw is that it has a grab indentation rather than a full handle. They are a family business and take GOOD care of their customers. The ccradio company LOVES radio and loves people who share their passion. Is it worth the [$$] for the extras? To me it is. The Ge Superadio has a rotary - and inaccurate - tuning dial. This will drive you crazy if you do a lot of channel switching. Some people tape graph paper to the radio and mark where they found the stations - it is that inaccurate. There is no timer, no alarm, no weather, no tv audio, no lit dial, etc. The sound is better on the GE Superadio, though. The GE SUperadio feels cheaply made and probably won't make it through many beach or camping excursions. The GE Superadio is enormously sized - it is the size of a small attache case or TV! If you only want to pull in one distant station and keep your dial set to that station, get the GE radio. That is all you need. It has great, almost legendary, reception without any bells or whistles. On the other hand, if you love radio, need the extras, change stations a lot, want something sturdily built that will last a lifetime, want to explore the large number of AM stations that are out there, go out and order the ccradio with slightly better reception (see their website to order). I am a radio person rather than a tv person. I have radio playing all day (as some people have tv going on all day). I sleep to radio (and need that sleep timer). I would rather listen to a talk show than watch a sit com. I would rather listen to Coast to coast, Phil Hendrie, and Rush than watch another rerun of Frasier or Friends. If you are like me, do yourself a favor and invest in the ccradio. You won't regret it. P.S., the FM reception will be better than you are used to, also.
Bottom line: The GE superadio is low cost with no extras and big and bulky. The CCradio plus is expensive, has every extra you could want (except a decent handle), more sensitive but does nto sound as good as the GE for music.

RCA RS2181i Audio System with Universal iPod Dock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This reveiw is for; RCA CD Micro Stereo System with iPod Dock - RS2181I

Ever since my wife & I bought an I-pod, we hardly ever listen to CD's anymore. We have been looking for an adequate shelf system so we can listen to music in the bedroom that sounds decent and inexpensive. We found the RCA RS2181I last night at a local Target for $95. Here are my simple observations;

PROS
Nice compact size - thin - top loading, vertical CD player saves space.
CD player works great. Most of my CD's are recorded CD-R's.
Compatible with ALL Apple I-pods including Touch, Video and 1st to 5th generation I-pods (plastic spacers for all sizes are included).
Unit charges your I-pod with the connected, spring-loaded front attachment that retracts when not used.
Nice remote which you can even use to change songs on your I-pod (song skip or go back).
The remote also has nice range because I used it far from across the room.
Has alarm & sleep mode which allows you to wake up or sleep to either your I-pod, CD or radio.
You can program up to 32 radio stations (FM or AM).
Has two extra inputs for connecting other devices such as other MP3 players that are not I-pods.
One button equalizer settings for simplicity with individual settings for Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Flat (?) or settings can be customized.
One button bass boost. Not strong enough to rattle the dishes, but a moderate bass boost.
Speaker connections are the standard, spring loaded black-red wire, so I suppose if you ever blow-out the stock speakers you can replace them with anything.

CONS
Only 10 watts a channel for a total of 20 (left & right). Not loud enough to annoy your neighbors, but loud enough for my wife & I to listen to in the bedroom.
The spring-loaded, retractable I-pod attachment occasionally sticks to the unit when it is pressed all the way into the unit.
LCD display is difficult to see due to very, thin LCD numbers & letters. You can basically only see it if you are directly in front of it.
Blue light at night is a little too bright, but might be OK for a kids' night light.
AM/FM tuner has no "seek" function. You must manually search each radio station.
Awkward looking AM, plastic antenna (about 3" X 4" plastic rectangle) that you must hook up if you listen to AM, but the FM antenna is just your standard, thin black wire.

Overall, my wife & I are mildly satisfied with the unit so far. It's a step up from the ancient cassette boom box it replaced. It works very well with the Apple I-pod, so I highly recommend it. It's not super loud, but it's loud enough for my wife & I. Great stereo for the bedroom, office or small apartment and that uses very, little space.

RCA RCD175 Portable Cd Player with Cassette Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: I like the controls, not hard to figure out.The sound is about as good as I expected, it sounds better when you are several feet away.
Cons: When you play a CD, each song is silent until two seconds in.It actually doesn't even show the zero or the one, it just starts at 00:02.This is extremely disappointing to me, and I'm going to return it.
