- Arcam FMJ A38 Integrated Amplifier
- Available for Immediate Supply
- The A38 features new output device technology which practically eliminates thermal modulation of audio signals to ensure a truly dynamic and transparent reproduction
- The brand new preamp design using studio grade components and new power amplifier stages deliver a result which exceeds expectations and raises the bar for specialist integrated amplifiers in general.
- With over 30 years of audiophile engineering experience, Arcam is one of the UK’s most respected audio companies.
- The new A38 stereo integrated amplifier is the latest in a long family line of award winning HiFi.
- The A38 design team was given a simple goal; to develop the best performing stereo amplifier Arcam had ever produced.
- Although a huge task, the team dug deep into the basic structure of amplifier design and the result was a remarkable improvement in fidelity.
- An in-house research project yielded a wealth of information concerning the influences of thermal conditions on power amplifier performance.
- As a result the A38 features a number of new technologies which practically eliminate thermal modulation of audio signals and ensure truly dynamic and enthralling reproduction.
- New Sanken output devices and dramatically improved thermal coupling provide an extremely stable device temperature resulting in much improved linearity.
- The massive torroid based power supply delivers effortless power with a new low noise topology improving transient response.
- A new pre-amplifier design, featuring hermetically sealed “reed” relays from Arcam’s range topping C31 pre-amplifier; deliver a wonderfully transparent signal to each power amplifier.
- Reed relays offer extremely low contact resistance and virtually infinite life span.
- An all new volume control (Burr Brown PGA2320) gives unprecedented linearity and noise performance allowing fine details to be reproduced in startling clarity
