C315BEE
Description
Well known for its giant-killing integrated amplifiers, NAD has refined this art to a new level in its C315BEE. Like the legendary 3020 that started the story decades ago, the new C315BEE combines an unexpectedly high power output with a range of genuinely useful facilities. The ability of this little amplifier to drive difficult speaker loads should not be underestimated. Meanwhile, its slim case supports six inputs, a front-mounted socket for portable players and an output for headphones, plus integrated tone and remote control. The C315BEE may appear unassuming, but its musical impact is unashamedly spectacular.

Description
Yamaha has made a superb return to hi-fi form with a range of highly advanced audio components. Among them are the affordable 1000-series components, comprising a full-size stereo SACD player and a 90W integrated amplifier. Externally, these products betray a strong retro-styling even though the internal technology is bang up-to-date. Individually, the player and amplifier offer tremendous performance but as a combination they prove greater than the sum of these parts. These 1000-series products not only remind audio enthusiasts of simpler times but restore Yamaha's position at the forefront of music reproduction in the modern era.

Besides, there is less need to use a flash, which leads to more natural images in many situations. Because of its enormous zoom range with Vibration Compensation, this is the ideal lens for sports and nature, for photographers using either full frame or APS-C sensor cameras.
