Dunno ... but must admit the Solo did come to mind (not sure what it costs)

I've heard a few Arcam integrated amplifiers and liked them a lot (driving Totem speakers). However I suspect that if the new low cost SB stuff from Blue Circle has the characteristic smoothness of the better stuff, and I don't doubt it judging by the comments on the CS integrated for example, that the Arcam would likely sound "hi-fi"-ish in comparison.

Apparently Gilbert (Blue Circle) used to use the earlier Alpha at shows connected to multi-$1000 BC amplifiers to illustrate the relative importance of the electronics vs. the speakers. Knowledge of that made the recommendation of the new Alpha teamed with BC gear a natural. As far as the CD Player goes I had and enjoyed the Jolida... give attention to supports and add a good power cord and it's a very pleasing performer.
