…and that’s how they get you. The Sony brand adapter is listed at $39. You can buy an universal adapter for under $20(the sony is rated at 9v and 800mA), but there is a catch. The universal adapter’s plug is too long! It won’t make the proper contact with these speakers. But there is a way to make them work. Find the right adapter plug and put a little piece of tinfoil in the hole of the adapter—don’t put it in the speaker hole.

So, Sony uses a shorter adapter so you think you can’t use the universal adapter and charges you $39 for their adapter.

You could try using a spring from a ballpoint pen or any small springs; or, cut a piece off a paper clip or copper wire, but the tinfoil is easy to use—just stuff enough into the whole to make contact. It can be scraped out if you need that plug for another device.

The keyboard cord had a huge slash in it and every so often I have to unplug it and plug it in again in order for it to regain functionality.I receive an error message stating there is some conflict with the usb connection. I thought that it was the keyboard until I bought a new one and experienced the same problem. other than that the system appears to be working well.

Like many other reviewers who purchased this scale, I was tired of the unreliability of my analog scale and would like one that gives consistent readings. After reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews I decided on this EatSmart scale. I’ve used it for a little over a month now, tracking and recording my weight almost daily. For the most part I agreed with the positive reviews: it is nice to look at, easy to use, and does give out consistent readings. However, I’ve also noticed some anomalies.

What I’ve noticed is that this scale (mine at least) only gives out a couple of different numbers for the first decimal place of a given pound reading. What I mean is, if the scale tells me my weight is 110.4 (fictitional number) on that day, the next time my weight hits the 110 range it would still be 110.4. If my weight is 111.6 one day, next time my weight hits the 111 range the first decimal place will very likely be 6 and not some other numbers.

This all could be a coincidence so I decided to run a little experiment. I used two oranges, weighing between 8 to 9 ounces each (about .5 pound). I first weigh myself and get one reading, say 110. Then I weigh myself again with one orange; the scale would still report 110. Only until I weigh myself with two oranges I get an increment in reading, say 111.2 for example. Now if I remove one orange and weigh myself again, the same me with one orange would now weight 111.2 instead of 110. After I remove the last orange and weigh only myself again, my weight reading would return to 110. The result of this crude experiment, and my experience of using it daily, suggests to me that there may be some memory mechanism in the scale to make it give out consisent readings for repeated measures over a short period of time. It could also be that the scale applies some heavy filtering mechanism to remove all fluctuations below one pound to make multiple readings consistent.

The bottomline is it’s probably a good scale to track relative b

This cable is the real thing in terms of quality, construction and durability. The other cheaper cables fell apart while this one keeps strong! I use it every day in a classroom and I love it. Highly recommend!
