Italy has hundreds of native grape varieties-one of the aspects that makes Italian wines unique.

Though these unusual, cerebral wines may not ultimately appeal to everybody, they will provoke lively discussions. Finally, the region's "orange" wines are a must for anyone curious about what happens when white wines are made with skin contact. Friuli is also at the forefront of the "natural wine" movement. The long-lived "super-white" blends of native Italian and international grape varieties impress even the most jaded wine lovers. The cellars of the Collio and Colli Orientali appellations are known for being among Italy's most innovative and technologically advanced. The Friuli region should be your destination for top-quality, cutting-edge white wines. As a result, these are great and usually less expensive alternatives for fans of extra-brut or brut nature Champagne. Because of warm growing conditions, Franciacorta is often made with little or no dosage. These high-quality wines from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Bianco use the traditional sparkling method.

![]() ![]() So here it is people, two players, two choices, but at the end of the day two incredible devices. The only viable contender that I could think of is the Shanling M6 21, but it’s also one of my top picks. It’s equally good, if not better in some aspects. If you didn’t have the chance to get the M11 Pro before, you should seriously consider the M11 Plus LTD. Add a layer of finesse, thanks to years of work at FiiO’s engineer camp, and you got it all. You can just fill it with your own music, install the music APP of your choice or simply use it as a great source for your car (yes FiiO did earn a certification for that too). UI is fast, the sound is superb, and it does almost everything well, either as a DAP or as a source. Let’s make it simple, like the FiiO M11 Pro before, the M11 Plus LTD is one, if not the best player you can get in this price range. You get a snappy navigation experience with full Android, a premium experience, and a musical, layered and detailed sound. With this totally new design -which helps to create a unique brand image-, a fantastic new screen, and a sound performance to back it all up, the R6 Pro II is a good choice for any audiophile. This new addition to the R6 lineup is certainly influencing. With this aggressive price policy, they’ll continue to grow in terms of being a formidable player in the portable audio market. HIBY’s DAPs keep getting better and better. Well, they seem to be successful with this RS2 and they now have the potential to appeal to warm and musical sound lovers in the market. In the RS6 review, I mentioned that HiBy can build upon this circuit design and improve it further. I honestly didn’t expect this performance, and I’m sure the users will be impressed once it reaches out to its potential owners. It’s a nicely designed, compact and elegant player that manages to achieve a single goal to play your files with high-performing sound for the price. The HiBy RS2 is a unique player in its way. So if you’ve been holding to your “old” M11 / M11 Pro, considering the M11 Plus too expensive, or just too big, the new M11S finally is the replacement you waited for. On top of that, the FiiO M11S doesn’t lack in any section: UI is fast, the sound is great, battery life quite impressive and build quality remains top-notch, even compared to its bigger brother. Once again, FiiO did what they do best: take a good player and enhance every part of it, to re-establish their leadership position.Īfter years of $700-$1500 players, the FiiO M11S is a true breath of fresh air, offering 80% of the M11 Plus performance, for just $500, reintroducing the brand in a price range they left almost two years ago. One can easily say that they now have a very mature sound performance with almost their entire DAP range, and the R6 III, with an even cheaper asking price, is going to be a hit in the market. Since they launched their first DAP in 2017, HiBy has improved the sound aspect substantially. If you’re looking for a capable Android DAP and multimedia device, this is one of the best bets in this price bracket. It has an Android 12 interface so the possibilities of what you can do are limitless. It has a gorgeous design, small enough to carry around without hassle, and is light enough to put into your pocket. The HiBy R6 III sounds quite balanced, clear & refined, and neutral overall. It also helps me to get rid of my phone for this purpose. Sometimes I stream through my phone with the UAPP app to my DACs, but the R3 Pro saber is much smaller and it doesn’t need any other application to work with DACs. I also think that this device is a great transport. For just 209 $, you get a lot of things including a very nice neutral sound which is the most important in my book. HiBy R3 Pro Saber 2022 is a viable choice for the ones who’re looking for a super compact DAP with lots of features and streaming capability. and who wants to have a good sound quality from their source. ![]() ![]() I recommend the new M0 Pro to everyone who has an active lifestyle, who has good IEMs for sports and etc. Well, it seems Shanling nailed this one as well, and the M0 series is going forward with an updated, cool-looking and feature-packed device which sounds even better overall. ![]() The Shanling M0 had been the most popular DAP from Shanling, because it was a perfect replacement for the legendary Sansa Clip, with a better sound and more features. This is an ever-evolving list and the units are ranked from cheapest to most expensive.

That's because they make a different kind from the juiciest fruits everyday, They are so good you must try them all! The sides and homestyle meals are some of the locals favorites but you mustn't forget the cobbler. And then of course their onion rings! Being a northerner it's tough to find a good ring, but here they are made to order, lightly battered and melt in your mouth. They are so good you wont be able to stop popping them in your mouth. The fresh fish bites, sounds silly but these are hand breaded made with the freshest local fish.

It comes with their home made brown bread, both jalapeno and sweet fluffly corn bread and yes those big fat yeast rolls. Lets talk about the bread, I know most times its one of those things that if you are starving you will eat otherwise its a pass, but this bread is not your average bread basket. How can you go wrong with a light white fish seared with mildly spicy seasonings ,cooling creamy grits and topped off with a sausage sauce to sop up all the goodness. ![]() ![]() ![]() To me it feels both tiresome and comforting, the way a child's books that keeps repeating the same phrases are meant to be predictable and comforting. There is always a real-world issue that is handled with real humanity and sensitivity (and occasionally with just a touch of preaching, which in this particular case I find completely non-offensive).Ītherton sets the scene in each new book the same way, using what I'm pretty sure are exactly the same phrases, describing the town of Finch, Lori's history and family, the prominent townspeople, the 'honey-coloured cottage', the 'blue journal', etc. The novels do follow a formula there is some kind of mystery (not murders: this is 'cozy mystery') which Lori, with the help of Aunt Dimity, solves. And as far as that goes, I do find myself looking forward to new instalments and enjoying them. I guess that's no surprise, given that her trillions of fans seem happy with the series as it stands. In this one, she seems to be challenging the reader to ask some of my questions: On the last page, she has Lori ask if someone who is no longer alive would approve of someone alive, and Aunt Dimity's reply 'she does.' seems to suggest a whole world of possibilities to me, possibilities that Atherton seems uninterested or determined not to investigate. ![]() And she'd love to meet you.Īs in most of the other other reviews of Aunt Dimity books (apart from the first few) I've written over the past decades, I'm going to say basically the same thing: I continue to find it frustrating that Atherton does nothing else with Aunt Dimity but allow her to be a kind of placeholder (not sure if that's the word I'm looking for) and that I wish she'd experiment and go somewhere else with it: Why is Aunt Dimity a ghost? Can she ever be anything other than a ghost? Where exactly is Aunt Dimity? Does she just cease to exist after Lori closes the blue journal, or is she in some kind of afterworld? In some of the novels, Atherton seems to take a step away from the formulaic set-up she has created. Look for a woman in jeans and sneakers who's bounding around like a hyperactive gerbil. So if you are looking for her at a convention, don't look for a stately grande dame in a flowery dress. She comes from a large, gregarious family (five brothers and two sisters!) and enjoys socializing as much as she enjoys solitude. She also urges you to read no further.īecause the truth is that Nancy Atherton is a dark-haired American with a generally unwrinkled face, a beaming smile, and hazel eyes, who lives in a plain house in Colorado Springs. If you prefer to envision her as an Englishwoman, she urges you to cling to your illusions at all costs - she treasures carefully nurtured illusions. She has never taken tea with a vicar (although she drank an Orange Squash with one once) and she doesn't plan to continue writing after her allotted time on earth (though such plans are, as well all know, subject to change without notice). Nancy Atherton is not a white-haired Englishwoman with a softly wrinkled face, a wry smile, and wise gray eyes, nor does she live in a thatched cottage behind a babbling brook in a tranquil, rural corner of the Cotswolds. ![]() ![]() Windle works tirelessly to name the forgotten children, he slowly begins to open up-giving the romantic cottage a chance to heal his heart, as well. Windle get to work on the seemingly impossible task of identifying the children to give them a proper burial. They are, Aunt Dimity shares, the remains of a Victorian wooden mill that once brought prosperity to Finch.Īs the three explore, they stumble upon the unmarked graves of children who died working at the mill. They orchestrate a chance meeting that leads to a startling discovery: a set of overgrown ruins. Only Lori and Tommy Prescott, a young army veteran who recently moved to Finch, refuse to give up. Soon, the townspeople have all but dismissed him. Will the cottage's newest resident prove yet again its enchanting ability to match-make? But when Crispin Windle arrives, no one knows what to make of him: seemingly a loner, he repels every welcoming gesture and appears altogether uninterested in being a part of the community. It's early May in the small English village of Finch and the air is crackling with excitement: a newcomer is about to move into Pussywillows, a riverside cottage with a romantic reputation. In the twenty-fifth installment of the bestselling Aunt Dimity series, when an inscrutable newcomer arrives in Finch, Lori is determined to befriend him-and in the process discovers Finch's own heart-wrenching past. ![]() ![]() ![]() This would be compatible with both 32 bit and 64 bit windows.

![]() ![]() We’ll provide more than 500 pieces of new content this year absolutely free for our readers-including objective evaluations of individual tools and products. We work with more than two dozen professional contractors around the United States who review products for us on real job sites and consult with us on testing methods, categories, and weighting. We consult with innovators in the technology and design of tools to gain a broader grasp of where these products fit and how they work. Our team will put our hands on hundreds of additional tools at media events and trade shows throughout the year. Our Pro reviewers work in the trades and have the skills and experience to know whether tools can perform well in the field.Įach year, we bring in and review more than 250 individual products. We’ve been in business since 2008 covering tools, writing reviews, and reporting on industry news in the construction, automotive, and lawn care industries. It’s all about giving you a legitimate recommendation and our honest opinion of each product. We won’t recommend anything unless we’d actually use it ourselves and we don’t really care who the primary retailer is. Why You Can Trust Pro Tool ReviewsĮver check out a “review” site and you can’t tell if they actually tested the tools or if they’re just “recommending” the Amazon top sellers? That’s not us. That’s how we give each impact driver a value rating. ![]() Regardless, it’s the sum of what you get compared to the price you pay that determines the value for you. The value a tool offers will be different for everyone depending on what features, performance, and price you prioritize the most. That includes having a brushless motor, the number of speed settings, app-based controls, LED light design, bit insertion/ejection, and more. When we look at the feature set to help determine the best impact driver, we’re looking for features that have tangible benefits. Sales 101 will teach you that every feature must have a benefit. Since someone with small hands tends to prefer a different style than someone with large hands, the handle size doesn’t play a part in our scoring. We look at how the tool fits in your hand along with how comfortable and secure the rubber overmold is. While we don’t come across many tools that have a terrible grip, some are better than others. Tools with a more compact head can squeeze into a smaller space. The length is arguably more important than the height. ![]() We measure both height and length for each impact driver using a digital caliper. The best impact drivers have a compact footprint. We measure the bare weight of each tool and also with the most advanced compact battery available at the time of testing. Overall weight remains an important factor. Impact drivers have lots of power, but the best tools also stay nice and compact. We do this in a consistent environment to ensure accurate results. Noise OutputĭeWalt (and other) impact drivers are loud tools! We take an SPL meter and record the A-weighted dB sound pressure level readings from 24” away (approximating the distance from the tool to your ear). However, it’s not exactly the same in every tool, so there’s no formula we can use to tell you how much fastening torque each model actually has. We do this using 10 ft-lb (120 in-lb) increments until we land on the maximum “nut-busting” torque value.Īs a general rule, this type of torque represents around 50% more than fastening torque. We then see what torque the impact driver can successfully back off. This 12V impact driver rocks and you can get the kit for just $119!įor the second test, we tighten down the nuts to a predetermined setting using a Gearwrench 64-832G torque multiplier. In terms of power-maximum torque skyrockets to 1450 in-lbs using a 2.0Ah battery pack. ![]() The top speed also jumps to 2850 RPM and you get three electronic speed modes including High, Low, and Precision Drive assist. The brushless DCF801 drops a full 1.2 inches off the head length of the prior model, shrinking it to just a hair over 5 inches. In our testing, however, the DeWalt DCF801 does an admirable job accomplishing 80% or more of what you expect from a full-size impact driver. With 60V FlexVolt tools supplementing higher power for their 20V Max cordless tools, smaller DeWalt 12V tools often get overlooked. It also serves as a much-requested brushless upgrade for the company’s dated DeWalt DCF815 12V impact driver. If you really want the lightest-possible experience, however, the DeWalt DCF801 does the trick. DeWalt has a rather shallow 12V line of tools. We’ll start with the DeWalt 12 Volt impact driver review we completed recently. ![]() |
