Bad Points
it can get slightly muddled complex passages
General Comments
I tried a few CD players at the same sort of price point inc Sony, Marantz and Nad and the thing that stood out with the Arcam was the sound stage. Instruments remain seperate and precise for the most part. It does get a bit muddled on complex passages, but they all did. It has a very open and airy sound, the others sounded veiled by comparison. Bass is tight and well defined and the top end is lively without getting too harsh, some sound like they have tamed the high end by cutting it off. Hard to fault at the price, it's not perfect but then again neither are a lot of the recordings and the Arcam is detailed enough to show up most of their faults.
On average, people found this review very helpful
