Arcam A38 Integrated Amplifier – Silver given a simple task: to develop the best performing stereo amplifier Arcam had ever produced. To achieve the task, the designers evolved the basic structure of amplifier design and the result was a remarkable improvement in musical fidelity.
This integrated amplifier has been taken in part exchange from a valued customer, it works perfectly, but it has signs of wear on top of the unit (but nothing significant). It has its original box and accessories.
The A38 stereo integrated amplifier comes from a long family line of award-winning HiFi.
The A38 designers were given a simple task: to develop the best performing stereo amplifier Arcam had ever produced. To achieve the task, the designers evolved the basic structure of amplifier design and the result was a remarkable improvement in musical fidelity.
The in-house R&D team produced a wealth of information concerning the influences of thermal conditions on power amplifier performance. The result of the R&D is that the A38 features a number of new technologies which practically eliminate thermal modulation of audio signals and ensures a truly dynamic and enthralling reproduction of audio signals. New Sanken output devices and dramatically improved thermal coupling provide an extremely stable device temperature resulting in much improved linearity.
The power supply is a massive torroid based type, delivering effortless power with a new low noise topology improving transient response. The new pre-amplifier design, featuring hermetically sealed reed relays from Arcams range topping C31 pre-amplifier; to deliver a wonderfully transparent signal to each power amplifier. The volume control (Burr Brown PGA2320) gives unprecedented linearity and noise performance allowing fine details to be reproduced in startling clarity.
Features:
Pre-amplifier section
All new audiophile pre-amplifier design with very low noise and distortion Very short audio signal path for cleanest possible sound No tone controls for lowest distortion and noise DC coupled using servo to remove any DC from input signals New improved Burr Brown volume control High quality Burr Brown op-amps in signal path Hermetically sealed reed relay input switching with immeasurable distortion and noise* Four-layer printed circuit boards allow control of power supply reduction of electrical noise Processor mode option for seamless integration with AV surround decoders Audiophile grade Stargate and Rubicon capacitors for signal transparency Optional single stage MM/MC phono preamp
Power amplifier features
105wpc continuous power output (8ohms, both channels driven) 200wpc continuous power output (4ohms, 1kHz, one channel driven) Fully discrete transistor power amp stages with temperature compensation Current feedback design ensuring wide bandwidth for high resolution audio Two pairs of individually selectable gold plated speaker outputs All DC coupled signal path for enhanced bass control All new thermal management for exceptional sonic stability
Power supply features
Massive toroid mains transformer User switchable between 115v and 230v mains supplies Dual rectified power amp supplies for reduced ground noise Separate smoothing per channel to reduce crosstalk Independently rectified and regulated pre-amp power supplies
General:
Supplied with CR90 system remote control All gold plated input / output connectors Large, clear VFD dot matrix display Size 430mm (17″) wide, 370mm (14″) deep, 110mm (4.2″) high Weight 9.5kg (20.9lbs) nett, 12.5kg (27.5lbs) packed
