I've just upgraded (or rather switched) from a NAD 320BEE + C542 to an Arcam Solo (2005 model). They're both connected to Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers.
Although I haven't listened to the previous set up in a long while (just been using a Denon DF 101 system due to space constraints), I'm really not liking the new Arcam Solo. It's hard to compare though because I've sold the Nad amp now but to me it sounds inferior in just about everyway, particularly the bass which isn't as tuneful and bass drum sounds boomy.
I've just been listening to Kings of Leon and Coldplay thus far.
I wonder if the sound will improve if it's not being used recently (I bought it on ebay).
Also the stupid thing's skipping now. Fed up. Just going to send it back.
