Dear all,

For plasma TV 42", any good one between RM8000-9000  ?

Seen Haier brand, RM8500 before nego. Dunno can trust or not? Sony WEGA one is 11000. LG about 10000. Pioneer and Hitachi is >>13000.

If Haier can last for 5 years, i will go for it.

Any one has experience on Plasma plssssss?

Hi, anyone heard of Arcam Solo, seems like cdp+amp+tuner in one...received quite lot of great comments in What Hi-Fi and other reviews as well!
Wonder its a gd buy or not...?

if you had £3K would you buy the Solo?

In Malaysia, our hot weather usually mean open windows/noisy/aircon noise listening environment, also brick house tend to have more reflective sound. Unless you have huge house/room like American, you can generally save heap buying budget amp with lower power rating.

I have Harbeth HL-P3 speaker and HLS8 speaker hooked up with NAD C352 now (previously QUAD 34/306 pre/amp) and  Pioneer 676a Universal DVD player. Initially the NAD C352 does not sound too good, I later discovered the problem lie with the cheap links used to connect the NAD's pre and power amp connector. Replacing the cheap link with a short gold plated RCA cable make huge improvement in the sound and stereo imaging.

Before I bought the C352,  I audition it with NAD C542 CDP and the Harbeth HL-P3, I also took the opportunity to listen to the cheaper C320Bee. They both sounded just as good and both can play at incredibly loud level without distortion.  The HL-P3 is rather low sentivity and still the C320bee can drive it without any problems at all.

Since the cheaper C320Bee can drive even HL-P3 to such high volume and create exciting music, I strongly advise you to buy this model instead of C352. Save the money and invest in better speakers instead.

I think normal amp may not be popular in 2 years time, given the popularity and advancement in AV receiver and digital amp, it may not be wise to spend huge amount of money into 2 channels stereo amp.
On the other hand, a cheap NAD C320Bee can easily beat many expensive AV receivers.

If you plan to have a nice 2 channels stereo setup, I suggest you forget about the sub and again just invest in a pair of better speakers. I find the Pioneer 676a universal player does a pretty good job playing CD, SACD dnd DVD-A disc and even DIVx movie and MP3 files, and it's pretty affordable.  It's virtual surround sound mode is good for watching surround sound movie with 2 stereo setup. Having said that, if you insists on getting a sub, then NAD C352 is preferred because it has 2 preamp output, you can link one to your sub.

NAD C320Bee is a very good amp and it has no problem generating great and loud sound on difficult speaker.  Make sure you replace the pre/power amp link with some good interconnect.  Audition it with very good sound source and speakers and be amazed by its quality.
If you have a chance, go and audition the tiny Harbeth HL-P3 here:

PS: It may be worth while to get C720Bee ( C320Bee + Tuner ), sometimes it's nice to just turn on the radio.
