Advantages: Vibrant small town with lots of charm Disadvantages: Surrounding area being rapidly developed
For decades, small American towns have been dying out as housing developments and sterile, sprawling shopping centres built on the outskirts of once-vibrant communities have come to dominate the landscape. Princeton, New Jersey, a picturesque town of about 25,000, located half-way between New York City and Philadelphia, has, however, escaped this fate. This makes it a worthwhile destination for anyone visiting or passing through the state.
AROUND TOWN
SHOPPING
A visit to Princeton begins at Palmer Square, the town centre. Here and all along the nearby Nassau and Witherspoon Streets is an impressive range of clothing, specialty and gift shops. Several small boutiques specialise in men's, women's and children's apparel from casual to formal, while a number of well-known chains like Ann Taylor, Talbots, Gap, Banana Republic and J ...

Advantages: Great looks, decent volume Disadvantages: Volume control, clean tone controls
I bought a Princeton 112+ for £200 about 2 years ago, so the main point on the plus side for this amp is the value. Although its pretty small, this amp is a very loud 65W, and is perfectly loud enough for even large pub/club gigs.
The amp is a 1x12" combo, with two channels and a master reverb control. The first channel (clean) only has controls for volume/treble/bass; while the distortion channel has gain/volume/treble/bass/contour. The contour control - similar to that on most Marshall Valvestates - works by shifting the range of the middle frequencies, so it does a bit more than a simple middle pot. Basically, turn it one way and the distortion sounds kinda bluesy, turn it the other way and you've got scooped thrash metal.
I think the distortion is a bit crap, but you can get it to sound good with a lot of EQ tweaking - so it won ...
Advantages: the price, the quality, the usefulness of this card Disadvantages: small codec problems can only be solved by a reinstallation
the possibility to record in the DivX format, from tv channels to the tapes of your wedding from your videocamera.
It is as great and useful as it sounds. For recording you will need a decent PC (not necessarily a brand new one but not a wreck either... I added System Requirements in the end).
Installation is quite easy, just stick to the instructions. The only faults that I can detect is this: when it starts having little problems (whater it could be, sounds or codec compression), you will never get rid of them unless you reinstall everything all over again although I recently updated its software and drivers and I haven't had a single problem since.
TerraTec offers a great support too with updates and FAQs available on their website.
The "TerraTec Cinergy 400 TV stereo" is an excellent product that I never regretted purchasing ...
