Produktinformation
Arcams designteam för A38 fick en enkel uppgift, att utveckla den bästa stereoförstärkaren Arcam någonsin producerat.
Trots en enorm uppgift, grävde teamet djupt i den grundläggande strukturen i förstärkardesign och resultatet blev en anmärkningsvärd förbättring av ljudkvalitén!
Efter att ha kört A38 i butiken ett antal dagar, kan vi bara konstatera att A38 är grym! Den har kraft och pondus så det räcker till, och ljudkvalitén är verkligen inget att klaga på...köpvarning!
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.
"Quite simply, one of the best amplifiers around!"
