Arcam (A&R Cambridge) is a hi-end hi-fi company, with a new amp selling from β¬1200 upwards. But if all you want is a good quality sound at an affordable price, a used Arcam Alpha β particularly the 5 Plus β can be yours at less than one tenth of the price. And when I say quality, I mean it. The company was launched 30+ years ago by a team of Cambridge boffins, and the kit is still made locally. Made to last. And sounds wonderful. Listening last night to a Radio France Musique concert it sounded as though the solo cellist was in our living room β not in the concert hall 250km away. As singers ourselves we listen to a lot of choral music and can be quite critical. With the Arcam treble notes are sweet, with no "toppiness" while bass is full and rounded β not over-emphatic, as with a lot of modern amps. I'm now re-auditioning versions of FaurΓ©'s Requiem - exposing every detail of the Pie Jesu and revealing every nuance of the Libera Me. Great piece of kit. And wonderful value at eBay prices!Read full review
