Pioneer Elite VSX-LX101(open box) Review
on October 15, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
My purchase of the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX101 was an impulse buy fueled by a too-good-to-be-true price of $299 for a received whose lowest Internet price I could find was $359 - and I couldn't be happier. I was finally able to recreate a true theater sound experience. Set-up was a breeze with the onscreen instructions.
Regrettably, this is a discontinued model that has been replaced with the LX102 - though I found out through some research is very, very similar in look and performance. Key differences: 140 watts with the 101 vs. 170 watts, 4 HDMI outputs vs. 6 with the 101 - but identical in nearly every other capacity.
It's the sound that wins here - it really is incredible! When my wife and daughter, who really could care less about my home theater upgrades, both said "wow" when we watched a popular new release, I knew this was a great upgrade.

Griffin Micro USB-to-Lightning Retractable - Good
on October 2, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I am using the Griffin Retractable Charging Cable in my car so I may maintain a clean appearance, especially when not charging my iPhone. I like that I have the option to charge micro-USB and Lightning devices though the adaptor is quite large (maybe 2 inches) when you attach the lighting connector to the standard Micro-USB. Construction feels solid but I feel that the length of the cord when extended should definitely be longer. 3 or 4 feet would have been nice. One difference compared to the retractable cord I replaced (that broke) is that the Griffin appears to only open to full length and not different lengths.

Works perfectly at a better cost then name brands
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ

Verified Purchase:Yes
At a price point $40 less then the name brand adapters our there (Microsoft/Apple), the Insignia Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI Adapter gets the job done. Loses one star for value - could have saved another $10 by choosing Best Buy's Dynex brand at $9.99

Innovated bluetooth, above average sound
on July 8, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I made the decision to try out Apple's AirPods after some thorough research. Many of the good to positive reviews were spot on - easy to connect between multiple devices, good to above average sound quality. Having used them for a month, that's my assessment as well. But I'll address a few more takeaways. I've never had a lot of success with ear buds in the past. They fall out of my ears frequently. Somehow, the AirPods stay in! I'm still not going to use them for more intensive tasks, like yard work because I do think they would be easy to lose. Sound is a little light on bass and the volume is not as high as other earphones or ear buds that I've used. I do wish I had more color choices (black would have been nice - but, now that I think about it, maybe even easier to lose!) but, for now, I can recommend the AirPods with confidence.

GREAT high volume storage for my Mac
on June 24, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
In an attempt to lessen the amount of external drives I was using with my iMac, I embarked on the "fun" task of consolidating tons of files from three WD MyBook drives. Took 2 days but it was worth it. I feel that the USB load on the power supply is much less.
The 8TB capacity is more than enough and the USB 3 transfer speeds are adequate for most everyday tasks.
Extra bonus: the 2 USB ports on the front of the drive. Great for charging wireless accessories, etc. Overall, a good purchase. Very satisfied.

A great case for Apple's 9.7" iPad Pro w/ Pencil
on June 18, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my second SPECK StyleFolio Protective Case for iPad Pro. I purchased it because, in the wake of the new 10.5 inch iPad Pro announcement, is was on clearance. I love the pencil holder and it feels rugged enough to protect my iPad from everyday things.
I have two criticisms. 1. There are 2 rubber strips that are used to prevent the iPad from slipping when standing in landscape mode. They can easily tear from the case. 2. I wish it allowed the iPad to pivot like the Targus cases. Otherwise, I would recommend.

Easy change-out: Xfinity DOCSIS 3.0 Modem
on April 5, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
In an effort to save $120 a year in rental fees I purchased Comcast's Xfinity DOCSIS 3.0 Modem from Best Buy. The retail modem is manufactured by Arris. The original modem supplied by Comcast, though similar in nearly every way, was manufactured by Technicolor. Based on my experience with the Technicolor modem, I was concerned that I wouldn't get the same WIFI speeds (I use Netgear's ORBI - which was a 5-STAR purchase). Initially, I had to have Comcast disable the WIFI on the Technicolor modern to get the best performance from my wireless router due to interference/multiple wifi signals. That is not an option with the Arris because disabling the modem's WIFI renders the all but one ethernet port useless - good to know if you have some hardwired devices - like Xfinity's Home Security system PLUS a more powerful or mesh wifi router. Fortunately, even with the modem's wifi enabled, I am still getting 200-250mbps speeds through the Orbi wireless network - no worries of interference. The modem will pay for itself in less than 2 years. It was an easy transition. I recommend.

Polk PSW Series 10 - Exceeded Expectations
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
As I continue to add to my Polk speaker collection for the family's home theater set-up, I finally picked up the PSW 10 Series Subwoofer. I replaced an inexpensive Sony powered sub and there is a very noticeable difference in the bass quality in favor of the Polk. This is the first subwoofer (I've owned three prior) that simulated that rich movie theater bass. Very satisfying!

Good, not great charging solution
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Insignia Dual Controller Charger for Xbox One is an acceptable solution for charging up to 2 Xbox One controllers. Unlike other chargers you do not require custom batteries and battery covers or add-on pieces - which is a significant plus if you have an Elite or Custom Controller. Packaged with 2 rechargeable batteries, this is also a good value. The only issue that I have is that you must carefully line up the mini usb port on the top of the controllers meaning that they charge upside down.

HP Envy 7640 - Will be returning
on December 28, 2016
Posted by: ChrisSinNJ
from NJ
Verified Purchase:Yes
The overall construction and features of the HP Envy 7640 are attractive, however when the printer "sleeps" it goes offline and must be re-booted to print via wifi or AirPrint. Worthless. HP's site is littered with complaints for both Windows and Mac users with no reasonable solution offered after months and months of complaints. DOES ANYONE MAKE A GOOD INKJET PRINTER ANYMORE? No, really... I need some suggestions. This will be the FOURTH replacement: Canon - clogged print heads that wastes expensive ink, Epson Workforce - clogged printhead that wastes expensive ink, HP - can't figure out how to make wifi printing work. Very frustrating.

Can it save Mac and Windows pictures or videos at the same time ? or does it have to be formatted to one system ?

It's pre-formatted for Mac. Windows uses NTFS and Mac OS uses HFS and they're incompatible with each other. However, you can format the drive to work with both Windows and Mac by using the exFAT filesystem. Prior to use, I would recommend reformatting the drive in exFAT.

USB 3.0 transfer speeds should be ok for FinalCut. Yes on backups.

I need a microwave similiar in size to fit into my cabinet to replace my GE that was in it. My micro was 13.5 Ht, 23.5 Width, and 16.5 Depth. What do you recommend? I do not have the Model No.

The actual dimensions for this Microwave are: 21-7/8 x 12-1/2 x 16-3/8. The dimensions outlined on the Best Buy website are incorrect.
