Review of Technics SU7300

More info about Tehnics Suv-670

Advantages: sound of course and i like the design.
Disadvantages: Likes power ! But what the heck....

tehnics suv-670 is one of the largest integrated amplifers in the late eightes. And its not rated at 80 watts rms per channel.The real spec is 90 watts per channel i 8 ohm. About 180watts in 4ohm.Very stabil ! Juice up to 690watts.. Great varm sound with bass that shakes the building. I have tryed several highspeakers in the years but i like old school. Got one pair of Cerwin vega AT-100 and thats more then enough for me.Its kind of heavy.About ...
...the same age,i would say that A-858 is the nearest. Very good second hand value. If you find one,dont hasitate to buy one.It never get old. If i shall consider to buy a larger Tehnics amp in the future i will look for a SUV-900 wich is 670:is big brother. But thats another story.. ...

Arcam hits all the right notes

Advantages: Great stylish looks, wide soundstage, powerful but crisply detailed
Disadvantages: Quite an expensive amplifier

Arcam have built a reputation founded on quality, reliability and are synonymous with producing affordable amplifiers which target those who are looking for an extremely smooth sounding component for their hi fi. This amplifier is part of a range also known as DIVA and though this might sound like a strange name with reference to a woman, it stands for digitally integrated video audio. The main advantage of this feature or so Arcam claim, is it allows ...
...to it. The Arcam A85, offers 85 watts per channel which does not mean much more volume than a typical amp, but what it does mean is that regardless of the volume, the amp will retain control of the music. This is exactly what this amplifier does, by providing a huge soundstage where the layers of music are brilliantly seperated allowing you to appreciate each one, but with a depth and power which allows you to feel from the most graceful of notes, ...

Review of Arcam A 85

SC-ZT1 wireless does not work

Advantages: wireless
Disadvantages: impossible to arrange in a normal living to get a good wireless speaker signal.

I have just returned the SC-ZT1 I bought recently because the wireless performance and design is extremely poor. This is proved by the user manual which states that the amplifier/transmitter unit must not have anything directly above or below it, any Wifi device within 3 metres, must be at least 50cm above the floor, and must be in direct line of sight of the speakers. These restrictions are totally impractical and make it impossible to get a good ...
...two weeks moving equipment and furniture and the speakers ended up in a position where I might as well have wired speakers. You cannot find out about this major design fault until you try to use it because no one else has written a review. You would expect something at that high price to be brilliant, but it is far from it. What a waste of time - do not buy this product. ...

Review of Panasonic SC-ZT1E

NAD amp makes the music sing

Advantages: powerful, deep bass kick, excellent midrange, lots of inputs
Disadvantages: Looks, no phono stage

NAD have an extremely proud reputation of making not only very good quality amps but also positioning them at a surprisingly budget level. The NAD C320 is certainly nothing special to look at, looking quite chunky but very rebust with it. In fact the build quality is something which has been focused on. The fact that the NAD does not have a huge wattage per chanel does not mean that the NAD is left wanting for power. Despite the fairly low wattage, ...
...distortion into the sonics. This NAD is an excellent amplifier to compliment any kind of bass heavy music as the low end frequencies have quite some kick, which allows the bass to resonate with a deep thud but is more than tuneful to break through the detail in the bass notes. The midrange is open and expansive and very impressive. This is particularly commendable when you consider the relatively cheap prices of this amp. Vocals are produced with ...
