Arcam A19 impressions?


Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone owns or has demoed the Arcam FMJ A19 integrated. It seems to be getting some very good press, but I always prefer the impressions of someone who has listened to it longer term. I have heard an Arcam A38, but I wasn't too impressed (at least for the price). For $999 with a phono stage, this amp looks to offer a lot if the sound quality is up to snuff.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi. I have my A19 driving a pair of AT-2's, a Pro-Ject Expression turntable and an Arcam CD38, using Kimber interconnects for both sources. To me, the sound is way better than the NAD 326BEE and the four channel amplifier NAD 245BEE that I have in another room. Sound resolution and built quality is above it's price, so happy with it.
You can add an Arcam Rblink bluetooth DAC and this is everything you need for a very good system at a reasonable price.
