Arcam A28 stereo integrated amplifier

The all new Arcam A28 takes class leading features from the range topping A38 amplifier including fully discrete circuitry, Mask of Silence, short signal paths and over specified toroidal power supply to create a superb mid-range amplifier package at the price.

Wide bandwidth performance is a result of the current feedback topology, which results in very clean high frequency performance. The Sanken output devices with thermal sensors monitors the bias current fed to each transistor and optimises it for the lowest possible distortion, giving a very clean sound quality. The electronic volume control adjusts more than just volume - it controls bass, treble and balance settings, plus input level trim and volume step - this feature also ensures signal paths are as short as possible for low noise and crosstalk between channels. Six line inputs should be ample for most users, processor mode can be enabled via a front panel button which makes the FMJ A-28 behave like a power amplifier only.

There is a very low noise, musical moving magnet phono stage , so those vinylistas out there can fully enjoy the black disc. Other essential Arcam technologies include Mask of Silence EMI reduction by the use of ferrite components attached to noisy components for maximum transparency of sound. The A28 is essentially as good an amplifier as the A38, but for those where 75W per channel is ample, rather than the A38's 105W. Either way, you will be delighted with the quality of sound reproduction.
