Advantages: 4 channels of compression in 1 rack space, low noise, good metering.
Disadvantages: Lacks custom attack/release time controls

...I purchased this unit as I needed 4 channels of compression/gating but didn't have the rack space for a couple of 2 channel units. The MDX4600 has a lot of features such as de-esser, enhancer, noise gate, channel coupling, but lacks things like custom attack and release timings for the compressors, found on the MDX 2600 for example. The dials on the front of the unit feel solid to use and notch in to place nicely for accurate control. The unit is more or less noise free too, which is means Behringer have used good components inside. A lot of their rack gear is highly rated, especially their compressors, and used by professional musicians all over the world. A good unit for the price, good features and only takes up one rack space. Recommended purchase for a gigging band! Mine was purchased from Dolphin Music, for £80.99, via e... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Quite expensive, but worth it.

...I was looking for a stereo system with a mini-disc, and lots of buttons, for under£400. The only one which matched these criteria, and caught my eye was the Sony DHC-MDX 10. The space-age design is fantastic. Basically, it is mostly shiny silver with a large digital display. The disply shows you the track names, time remainig etc, and has special effects which 'dance' with the music. What I love about this system is the range of ooptions to tweak to improve the sound quality of your music. there are also some DJ functions which allow you to do things like repeat parts of a song(like scratching a record) or 'flash' the song which turns the volume up and down. The sound quality is amazing and the speakers can produce ridiculously loud sound. Useful for listening to music while in the garden.(Just face the speakers out of the window... Read review

Advantages: name brand and top quality
Disadvantages: sometimes too loud

...I know that this stereo is a little on the old side now, i've had mine for three years, but still i've had no reason to exchange it for a new one yet. the look of the stereo is still modern, it hasn't aged very much because the brushed aluminium look and silver looks are still in fashion and thats the only colour that you could get the mdx10 in. but ignoring the look the level of usable extras in the stereo are very high, and many of them are unique to sony, for instance the 'sync eq' (syncronised equaliser) is used to optimise the sound of every song or track played ie: if you put on a hard rock track with lots of drums and overpowering guitars the sync eq will lower the level of the guitars and raise the level of the vocals, or if you put on hard house then the high frequency notes are raised slightly and the bass lowered a little...

...THE MDX-CA680X: Having come close to crashing a number of times from fiddling with my minidisc player adapter, I decided that I should buy a proper head unit capable of playing my MDs. INSTALLATION: Firstly I should point out that wires scare me. Secondly, I should point out that spending money unnecessarily scares me even more. So, to save myself £35 I decided to install the CA860X "head unit" myself. After trawling the internet for many hours, and finding very little relating to how to install it, I took the plunge and chose to find my own way. Unpacking reveals that the MD player essentially has three main parts: there is the unit itself, which slots in where the former head unit used to be; the cage which the unit slots into; and the faceplate, or "front"! I found to my delight that installing these three parts is not as complex... Read review

Advantages: There will be more money to buy players
Disadvantages: Scott is an excellent player and the club will miss him

...Unfortunately utility player Richard Scott is on the verge of quitting London Road. Posh boss, Barry Fry has offered 26-year-old Scott a new contract, but the player and his agent feel he can get a better deal elsewhere, now that he is available to leave Posh under the Bosman ruling for no fee. Scott has been dogged by injuries this season and needed to prove his fitness to Posh boss Barry Fry to be awarded the offer of a new contract, which Fry has done. Scott's old club Shrewsbury Town were interested in taking back Scott around transfer deadline day, but so far they haven't been back and nor have there been any inquiries from other clubs. Meanwhile Barry Fry has not offered Martin Williams a contract as he does not believe the midfielder has done enough to earn one during his short term move from Swindon Town to London Road...

Advantages: Too many to list
Disadvantages: Some of Scott's solo stuff is 'difficult'

...Scott Engel, pretty-boy session man in Hollywood, still only in his early 20's. He decides that he wants a bigger slice of the pie and sets up a band with guitarist John Maus and drummer Gary Leeds. They move base to England, Scott Engel becomes Scott Walker and the legend begins. How do you define the importance and beauty of the music created by Scott Walker and the Walker Brothers in a few paragraphs? It's almost impossible. To begin with it was Scott Walker and The Walker Brothers. Between 1965 and 1967 they were responsible for some of the classic moments in pop. Think 'Make It Easy On Yourself' with it's sweeping orchestration and Scott's velvety smooth, impossibly beautiful vocals. It's a stunning song that is instantly recognizable. A song that, in 200 years, will still be so. Think 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' building... Read review
