Love it so far

Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct-Drive Professional Turntable (USB & Analog)
Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct-Drive Professional Turntable (USB & Analog)

Pros: This thing is impressive. I upgraded from the model below this when my daughter said she needed something to play her vinyl. It is durable and weighs a lot. But that's a good thing in my eyes. And I wasn't aware it had a reverse option so you can play anything backwards. Sound is great too. One major thing to note. Check out the Audio-Technica guide on youtube for setting this thing up. The weights and tracking need to be setup correctly or it will skip badly. But once it is dialed in it's not an issue.

Cons: The only issue I have is that this thing doesn't have an option to press a button and have it start the album. Everything is manual. But with all the other features, this isn't a problem.

Most Critical Review

Sigh

Nero 2015
Nero 2015

Pros: It burns audio cd's as well as my Nero 2007.

Cons: I have a Blu Ray burner. Tried to make a Blu Ray from some AVI files I have. It starts, then 6 hours later it still hasn't moved. So I tried selecting less and make a Dual Layer DVD, 6 hours later it still hasn't moved. So I tried a Single Layer DVD, same. I bought it to make Blu Ray's mainly but so far this lives up to the negative reviews.

Overall Review: My Nero 2007 has been great, but since then I don't see where any product they have put out actually works.

Logitech FTW

Pros: Great mouse, great price. What's not to love. Haven't used it for long but so far it's accurate and comfortable

Overall Review: Logitech have always been my favorite mice. Have used in many gaming competitions without issue.

Great deal if you get it on sale

H&R BLOCK Tax Software Deluxe + State 2019 Windows - Download
H&R BLOCK Tax Software Deluxe + State 2019 Windows - Download

Pros: Easy to use program that imports your info from last year if you used it.

Cons: Cost to e-file additional State returns is a bit excessive considering the program wasn't free.

Overall Review: Decent program if you don't have a lot of intricacies to deal with

Doesn't like Comcast

Yamaha RX-V377 5.1 Channel AV Receiver
Yamaha RX-V377 5.1 Channel AV Receiver

Pros: Great basic receiver. Sound is very crisp and has a lot of DSP choices. Paired it with a couple Polk tower speakers and the sound for television is scary good. Sometimes it sounds like somebody is in your house.

Cons: Does not like Comcast box. Running HDMI, you have to turn on the TV and Receiver in exactly the right order or it turns into a green blob screen on the TV. At least once a week I have to turn off the TV, Receiver, and Comcast box and ignore for 20 minutes to get the tv to work. Have never had an issue like this before. But I don't like Comcast either so I don't blame the receiver for not wanting to work with it.

Overall Review: It doesn't have Pandora or any other wireless options. Does have a direct ipod input that is pretty basic but does play and charge with a very generic screen. Also have it hooked up to a Blu Ray and Turntable and those never give me a problem.

Almost good

Rosewill RX301-PU3-35B - 2.5" & 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Docking Station - USB 3.0 Connection
Rosewill RX301-PU3-35B - 2.5" & 3.5" SATA Hard Drive Docking Station - USB 3.0 Connection

Pros: Bought it a month ago on a Newegg special. Price is decent performance seems ok. Nothing special.

Cons: A 2 foot cord, really? So I have to turn my computer around in order to use this thing, and it has to sit on the floor to reach the USB 3.0 connector in the back. I don't think I have ever seen a 2 foot cord come with anything in my 100's of orders.
