5 comments about Belkin F3U138-06 Pro Series USB 5-Pin Mini-B Cable (6-Feet).
- This is a good quality Belkin cable for much less than you'd pay in the box stores. It performs well for me.
- Not sure what the problem is, but this cable will not work with either of the two Western Digital Passport drives I tried. It works with a Nikon D200, so it isn't just "broken," but it will not spin the drive in the Passport. Other USB cables of the same length, plugged into the same ports, work perfectly.
- These cables were to be used as extenders. Works just fine. Delivery was slow, but I got them.
- I lost the cable to my Garmin Venture the first week I had it, but found that the cable to my Canon A80 worked just as good. I bought this cable so I'd have a cable for each device, and saved twenty-four bucks vs the "factory" cable.
- First off, this product works flawlessly for our phones - a smart phone and a blackberry curve. There are zero issues whatsoever for those. That said, as other reviewers have pointed out, some portable hard drives use the same pin configuration yet do not receive enough power through this cable to run. I would have to speculate as to why - just be aware that this is not the right choice for most hard drives, unless it has a separate power cable. With the separate power cable our hard drive runs fine. With the original cable, it ran off just the 5-pin mini without the separate power cable.

5 comments about Tripp Lite P516-001 VGA/XVGA Monitor Y Splitter HD15M/2XF.
- I bought this for my laptop so I can hook up two external LCD monitors (using one as the primary and the other as an extension). Well it did not work. The image on both were the same. Why would I want to hook up two external monitors for a short-distance that display the same image? What makes things worse is that the brightness on each monitor is diminished by about half which make it hard to see clearly. I hope Amazon will clarify or change the description of this product and allow me to return it.
- I was trying to split my vga output to a monitor and a projector (via a 50 ft cable). I had the same experience with ghost images on my monitor as one of the previous reviewers. I'm guessing this splitter isn't designed to work with long cables. I ordered a 2-Port UXGA Video Splitter Extender (Cables To Go - 29550) which works much better, although it was somewhat more expensive.
- I bought this product to split my desktop computer to my main monitor and to my HDTV in the other room. As others has said it does diminish the brightness on the monitor, but it hasn't done so on my HDTV. As I mainly use my computer on my HDTV these day I haven't had a problem with the lose of some brightness on my monitor at my computer desk. Besides for that little lost it works great as it was indented for.
- The splitter works fine, but was really unusable for me because it reduced the brightness on the monitors to a level that really made it hard to see. It's not a problem with the product itself, though -- just a side effect of splitting a signal in half. I tried using a signal booster in conjunction with the splitter, but that didn't seem to help.
- This product was the cheapest I could find and works like a charm. Don't pass it because it's cheap--it's a great product.

- These cables are very good and very sturdy. They are a great buy and are worth the price. Once you take them out of the package you really understand the quality of them because they are fairly heavy and shielded. I would recommend these for any coaxial needs..
- This product works eventhough I am not sure whether the Cable signal is getting better but i got less disturbance after using this cable. So yeah it works.
- This product was all I needed and with an excellent price. The connectors are well done and the image quality is great. Highly recommended.

5 comments about Belkin Stereo Cable for iPhone.
- This cable is perfect for what I needed it for: connect my iPod to my stereo on my desk. It looks sweet, and more importantly, the signal quality is great. Belkin is a great name, and for what Amazon is charging for this, you'd be crazy not to pick one up. Highly recommended.
On a side note: no, I do not use it for an iPhone. The reason it is marketed as such is because it has a recessed mini plug jack that will fit in the wonky receptor on the iPhone. It works just like any other audio cable otherwise.
- The cables are nice and do their purpose. They fit my iPhone properly.
The metal RCA plugs are very slippery, making them hard to remove.
- Works great with my iPhone no complaints. I like the heavier cord it feels more durable and I am constantly moving it from device to device.
- Despite the name, this cable works with iPod, iPhone, Macbook, and stereo equipment. The RCA components are metalic, and the 'silver' shine fades over time.
- the cables are most good quality and
They are quality you can be confedent
To use them again and again
It feel like monster cables yeah
Monster cables a+++++++

5 comments about Stanton Record Cleaner Kit.
- I still maintain a sizable vinyl collection, drawing from it each week for a radio show (I doubt the majority of stations in the country even bother to keep a working turntable). The old Discwasher, now simply a name sold to Phillips Electronics (RCA, General Electric), impresses me less these days than this Stanton brush. Unlike the corduroy material of the Discwasher, it has a felt-like material that appears to penetrate the grooves and pull out more dust than a stiff corduroy wipe. I don't buy, however, the claims either manufacturer makes about "special formulas." When the bottle of liquid runs out, it's silly to purchase another 25 dollar kit. Simply refill it with a 50/50 mix of water and isopropyl alcohol and expect the same results.
- This does a good job cleaning records, but they left out some items that would have been helpful. There needs to be some sort of brush to clean lint and dust off of the cleaner itself. The tray that it sits in prevents it from drying out quickly, so it becomes damp after heavy use.
- The Stanton brush works really well -- maybe a little TOO well.
As opposed to the old trusty Discwasher system, the Stanton felt REALLY digs into the grooves intensely; just one swoop around the disc and one can actually feel the brush pulling on the vinyl as it gets way into the grooves.
While this is an excellent tool for deep-cleaning, I don't think I'll be using it for routine, every-day cleaning -- I worry that it might eventually actually harm the grooves if overused.
- I bought this item because I'm embarking on that rite of passage into middle age: transferring my LPs to digital files. So I bought a USB-enabled turntable & the record cleaner kit. As is clearly shown in the picture, the kit consists of a pad, pad tray & a 2 oz bottle of cleaning solution. You're supposed to sweep the record with the dry pad, apply 3-4 drops of the cleaning fluid to the edge of the pad, re-sweep & then do a final sweep with a dry portion of the pad. I've encountered at least 3 problems with this product:
1) poorly written/non-updated instructions - you're supposed to sweep the record "in the direction of the arrows on the handle", well, there are no arrows on the handle, I can only hope that the fibers of the pad are not directional
2) inadequate wicking of the cleaning fluid - the 3-4 drops of fluid don't spread out very well &, as a result, there's a tendency to clean only narrow tracks of the record
3) lack of a cleaning tool (or at least some instructions) for the pad itself - where does all that dirt you've cleaned off of the record go? Onto the pad, where it stays until perhaps it's deposited onto the next record.
I can remember (back in the day) buying record cleaning kits that had none of these deficiencies. Apparently the folks that made those products have gone the way of the buggy whip manufacturers...
- This brush really seems to get into the grooves with its tiny fibers. The cleaning solution seems to clean without any residue. I used to use the Diskwasher system years ago and the new version shouldn't even be called the same thing. I am glad that I found and bought this one.

5 comments about Cables To Go - 13172 - 2M USB 2.0 A/B Cable (White).
- it was super cheap and arrived extremely quickly. had it for months now and it works fine. A++++++
- These cables to Go 6 ft. usb. work very well with the printer I got for my son. They were delivered when promised.
- the cord works fine. No problems. Cord does look old might have been used once before.
- This product is exacaly what I wanted. I had visited other websites, local stores and national chains looking for this cable and found them at 4 to 8 times the cost. I am pleased with the product and will order again from this seller.
- I chose to buy this item on a hunch in conjunction with two other items. The waiting for arrival was short, but seemingly long only to me. I was anxious to try it out because an ex-employer swears by the equipment in his office. Now I see why; it is easy to maintain, all other affiliated products are reasonably priced, and easy to find. I would definitely recommend this item to all with a five star rating. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase.

2 comments about Audio Technica AT2020USB Condenser USB Microphone.
- My review is not going to be too useful, but hopefully it will influence the mic's overall rating.
Pros:
- Great signal range!
- Amazingly low noise floor!
- Nice blue LED light...
- Plug And Play, no drivers! (Tested on XPSP3)
Cons:
Stand picks up vibrations which is to be expected without a shock-mount. I use a folded rag under it.
- I was looking for the pre Amp for my microphone to do do voice over video and found this USB microphone from Audio technica. So I did not have to buy the preamp . Just plug it to the USB port then you go. It was very easy to use and noise floor very quiet, it does not record the fan noise from your computer or the background noise in the recording room, very happy with the purchase.

- these HDMI cables work great and are long enough for wall mounting your big screen TVs in real world locations.
Perfect for the price!
- The cable works! What can I say; I don't know the technical details involved in the digital cable. As far as I know, it either works or it doesn't. The looks and the feel of it is quite good. Its price is low, but the quality is definitely okay.

4 comments about Universal Percussion UP197 Round Double-Braced Drum Throne.
- Contrary to the product description, this stool is not heavy duty! The actual seat itself is made of very flimsy plywood, and any sort of bad posture or leaning forward will crack it and punch the metal supports through it!
The legs are also hard to adjust to optimum length, as the retention screw doesn't hold anything in place for long. If you can find something somewhere else, I say go for it.
- My older son has been taking drums for several months and doing very well. For Christmas we bought him an electronic drum kit and needed to get a throne also. I found this one on Amazon and have been very happy with the quality and the price.
- Our son wanted a drum set for his 15th birthday. Seeings he is totally new to this we didn't want to pay a huge sum for a set only to have him lose interest. This set is great for beginners and he's very happy with it.
To people considering purchasing this, please note that the cymbals ARE NOT included with this set even though they are in the picture. Perhaps the company should consider posting another photos sans the cymbals.
- This throne is ok but if you have a little more spending money i would get a different one. this one hurts a lot and looks cushiony but it is not at all. but as i said if you can spend a little more i would do that.
