SOLO ( new ARCAM's integrated/cdp )

Anonymous	Posted on Sunday, September 25, 2005 - 20:17 GMT Hi , Anyone knows how this integrated sounds ( cdp is based on ARCAM's CD73 ). If this amp is fine it's a bargain , IMO .

It works well with B&W DM600s, Totem Dreamcatchers and Mites, Naim n-Sats. It doesn't like heavy load speakers such as Dynaudio. It's not as good as an Arcam CD73T and amp. Another unit well worth looking at for less money is the NAD L53. Regards, Frank.

Anonymous	Posted on Monday, September 26, 2005 - 17:45 GMT It's me again . Look at the reviews I found about SOLO . It seems that the amplifier surpasses ARCAM A65 PLUS ,with more power and detail .As it includes the CD73 and a Tuner the price is not so bad . http://www.audiophilesystems.com/arcam/ReviewsSOLO.htm Regards ,

Regards, Frank.

If you are looking to spend around 2 grand Linn should also be on your list to audition. The NAD Frank mentioned would be the best bargin. If you have 2 grand burning a hole then Linn would be my personal frontrunner. My wife loved the Solo until she found out how much they wanted for it.

I haven't had the opportunity to do the direct A/B comparison, and I'm not sure which way the vote would go quite honestly... Regards, Frank.
