Media Storage Tower-Tall Triple Oak -76" Review

Value: Except for what I've stated below, it's worth the price if you have a lot of what it takes to fill this storage tower. I bought it with personal library expansion in mind.

Expectations: Except for what I've stated below, It holds everything I own. Well for now anyway. :)

Features: The instructions were easy to read and follow. Although, not much of an issue for myself, some of the pictures could have been a bit larger.
At 6'4" in height this thing is a beast. If you're height challenged you might need a ladder for this storage tower. Tower indeed.

Appearance: While it is just particle board, this media storage tower looks very nice. I'd expect you'd probably pay around $800-$1000 for solid wood. I bought the black finish and it looks great except for what I've stated below.

Overall rating: 4.25

The only complaint I have is the lack of thickness of the shelves.
I had expected for the price I paid that the shelves would not be so flimsy. They're only 1/4" H x 1' 11.25" W. Very flexible. Not good for holding the weight of what is intended.
While the unit does have center supports, which are located on the backboard, the shelves still sag a bit when filled.
This fact, in my opinion, detracts from the appearance slightly.
If this had 1/2" shelves I would rate this 5.0 in every category.
Also, the instructions as pictured told me to install the backboards with the red and blue color markings up towards the top of the tower. In fact the markings needed to be down as I ran into problems with the support pegs being out of line. Maybe just a factory error but check for this problem before you put all your shelves in. ;)

Synopsis:
The assembled storage tower looks great and none of the pieces were chipped, marred or broken upon inspection. The packaging was sufficient and arrived without damage. It is quite heavy as it is all in one box. I was able to carry it myself up a flight of stairs but I recommend help. The instructions were very easy to follow. Mostly pictures. If I didn't know English I still could have put this together.
When put together the unit is very sturdy and the supplied fabric-strip wall supports for earthquake prone territories were a big plus.

I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend with the above statement.

Product Description

Nobody does it better! You may have seen other Media Storage Towers in your journeys but you have never come across the styling, variety, storage capacity or value for the money, anywhere. We beat the competition...hands down. We offer six (6) sizes in 5 colors. We also did not skimp on the sizing like many other manufacturers. Our Media Storage Towers will indeed hold an entire media collection and then some. Our units hold over 40% more media (CD's, DVD's and VHS Tapes) than our leading competitors. Not only that but our units are also up to 70% less expensive. All that in a wall hugging slim cabinet design. Shelves are only 6" deep but a generous 24" wide. The 76" high Single Tower has 12 adjustable shelves plus the fixed base. The 76" Double has 24 adjustable shelves plus 2 base sections for storage. The 76" Triple Tower has 36 adjustable shelves plus 3 base sections for storage. See the table above for shelving information on the 50" models. You can also choose to assemble any tower with or without the decorative Top Molding depending upon the look you want. Our Media Storage Towers are constructed from heavy duty laminated wood composites. They are framed in molded *MDF (medium density fiberboard) that enables us to trim the weight of our towers by about 30% over original models. They are available in both 50" and 76" heights in all 3 models (Single/Double/Triple). Choose from cherry, oak, walnut, black and white with a matching base. Assembly required. Made in the USA.

Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35 Optic for Pentax K Digital SLR Review

Huge fan of this combination - the Lensbaby Composer Pro with the Sweet 35 optic. While I purchased the Composer Pro from Amazon with the Double Glass optic, I've been testing the Composer Pro with my Sweet 35 optic (also purchased from Amazon). Such an improvement in terms of control over the first generation or non-pro Lensbaby Composer. While I always loved my Composer and the results it produced, I found it difficult to produce consistent results in terms of sharp focus and sweet-spot control. I feel like these issues are now headaches past with the Composer Pro. In essentially all of my test shots, right out of the box, the focus and sweet spot is just as and where I intended. Wish I'd had this lens with me a few weeks ago when I went on a photo trip to Italy, but just glad that it exists now and can travel with me on my next photo voyage. The control and ease of use of this new lens with the Sweet 35 optic will be a joy to shoot with. I can't wait!

Will try to upload some shots taken with the Composer Pro and Sweet 35, soon.

Onkyo HT-S7400 5.1-Channel Network A/V Receiver/Speaker Package Review

I recently received my S7400 unit and have been very happy with my purchase. This is my first purchase of an Onkyo brand item and it is winning over this Sony loyalist.

Obviously, the most important part is how the unit sounds, and the sound from the S7400 is wonderful. I upgraded to this unit from a Sony HTiB system, and the improvement in both receiver quality as well as speaker quality and sound is huge. Highs are crisp and clear, mid frequencies are clear and much more distinguishable, and the bass is of a decidedly higher quality with more refined accuracy than my old Sony unit, making music more balanced and more enjoyable to hear. There is also still plenty of `boom', for those earth-shaking action sequences when played through the HD audio-compatible receiver. What separates this higher-end, powered subwoofer apart from the passive Sony subwoofer are both the amount of bass as well as the ability for the 7400 to have more 'accurate' and natural sounding bass rather than the muddy sounding bass I was used to.

This system has a great center speaker with two mids and a tweeter in it. Dialogue is much fuller sounding and much clearer and easier to hear. The front speakers also have separate tweeters and mids, where my old system only had a single, smaller speaker for everything. Having those frequencies separated by speakers handling the duties individually is certainly one reason for which the sound is so good from this system. The 7400's sound is almost multi-dimensional compared to the very flat sounds that came from my previous system (and this is coming from one who used Sony exclusively up until the purchase of this unit). Basically, it's almost like going from DVD to HD in terms of audio quality, whether it be watching TV, playing CDs or watching blu ray discs.

The on-screen display is great for set-up and for fine-tuning, but once the system is set up and all of the settings were made, I found the on-screen display a little annoying as the overlay covers up the bottom part of the TV screen when selections are made or volume is changed with the remote. I LOVE having the OSD for setting the system up and making adjustments in the settings, but don't care for it popping up while watching normal television. However, it can be turned off, which is a great option. The front-screen display of the receiver is also much larger and easier to read and has 3 different dimmer/brightness settings. I never had a problem reading the small Sony ones, but some have complained of it being very small to read from any distance over 5 or 6 feet.

I've had no problems at all with the HDMI connections. I've got 3 components running into the receiver via HDMI and one HDMI out to the HDTV and all is working properly. I even find lip-sync to be much better as well for the satellite viewing-probably because of the improved processing abilities of the receiver. I had a slight lag when watching my satellite with my old system, and that lag is now gone.

I have noticed some people mention issues with the HDMI pass-through. I am not needing to use components on a pass-through basis, but I did notice there are some pass-through settings that can be made in the set-up of the receiver, so it may be that adjustments in the set-up need to be made for it to work properly...just a thought.

I'm in the process of reading through the manual. It is a little complicated and convoluted in some of the wording for this audio novice, but I think it will be necessary to read through it to really get everything out of the benefits the receiver offers.

Set up was easy with all of the cords color-marked to know which speaker goes where and to which connection in the rear of the receiver. I will admit that the wires supplied for the rear speakers are quite short; mine just barely being long enough with not an inch to spare in a smallish living room (running the wire around the walls rather than a direct route). It also would have been nice to have a little thicker speaker wires

I was not thrilled with the interface of the wifi and Internet available apps-very basic looking. I actually like the interface offered from my blu ray player better, so I can't comment to the working of these apps on the 7400 as I am not using the receiver for them.

The auto calibration software was thorough and took much longer to set up than my Sony, but did a wonderful job. I needed to tweak the bass a little, but overall it did a great job of processing the sound, taking into consideration the speaker distances, the speaker set up and acoustics.

At this point, I'm a convert for sure and admit that you do get what you pay for. I do realize that sometimes one can only get what is within the means of their budget, but one should get the most bang for their money and I certainly feel this unit has been worth the extra it costs over other 'budget' systems. If this HTiB unit is within your budget, you are doing a disservice to yourself buying a cheaper unit like I did before, just to save some money. I'd even think the lower priced 3400 would be a better option for smaller budgets.

So, other than a slight disappointment with the 'look' of the interface for the Internet apps and the short wires for the two surround speakers, I am a very happy user and consider this to be a great upgrade. I give this system 5 stars because of the sound and quality of the system and because the minor issues don't really affect my enjoyment of the system. I'm sure it's not the cream of the crop compared to separately purchased components of a high-end systems, but I'd certainly consider it 'high-end' for a HTiB unit and I have no reservation in recommending it.
