Advantages: Slender design Disadvantages: Kind of expensive/ Not upgradable like some Arcam products
...The silver slender looking Arcam CD82 Compact Disc Player is a mid-range CD player that has been designed and built to act as the ideal half-way point between the CD72 and CD92 in the Diva range.
My brother has owned one for a fair while now and the CD82 is an extremely capable CD player. The box to the CD player informs us that state of the art audiophile design techniques are incorporated. Apparently, these are commonly found on players which would normally cost consumers thousands of pounds to purchase.
The helpful instruction manual that comes with it informs us that the CD player utilizes very high quality Burr Brown op-amps in the output stage. Included is a high-stability Class 1 crystal oscillator in the DAC module.
The player also utilizes two 24-bit 192 kHz Wolfson DACs, which is in a dual-mode configuration. One...

Advantages: Good sound, features and flexibility Disadvantages: Feel of front panel and controls
...The Arcam 9 is a solid, well-rounded amp that will do mor then enough for most people. It's British made and designed.
It sounds good and matches a wide range of components. Listening, it's rich and a little warm but invutes you in to listen more. It has a good set of features that includes two switchable speaker outputs, a processor loop, full featured remote control (inc source and volume) and record selector so you can record one source while listening to another. It's powrful enough for most too with a 70 watt per channel output, backed up with a beefy power supply that gives over 20 amps current. You can also esily bi-amp with the Arcam 9P. I've not heard it but it's supposed to give you a clearer sound.
A phono stage is an optional extra.
On the downside it feels plasticy compared even to some fairly cheap Japanese...

Advantages: Allows Good Sounding Music Disadvantages: Very expensive brand new!
...My brother's friend owns an electronics shop, and so my household often gets a variety of goods coming through it. One such product was the Arcam CD 93 Compact Disc Player.
The CD 93 Compact Disc Player replaces the CD 92 player previously released, and does a better job than it I feel.
The player itself is slim, quite light weight wise and quite attractive looking, and would look perfect in any modern home. To be honest, it looks like many other players in the range, and does not really look at all that distinctive. Our version of the player is a silver colour, although it is also available in black. It comes in a box, along with a helpful instruction manual, which instructs the owner how to set this up (actually an easy task), as well as informing you on the player’s features.
The player, as I mentioned, is pretty much...

When my amd 64 3200+ was geting a little hot using the stock fan i decided to look for a new, but cheap, alternative.
This fan will fit on any motherboard that supports skt 939, skt 940 and socket 754 type AMD processors. But i have read even though... more
