EXPIRED For Sale Arcam FMJ A38 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State)

Further Information

I've had this since new, purchased in UK when living there some years ago.

Beefy amp that comfortably drives any load, and very faithful reproduction of the source. In it's time, it was Arcam's flagship Integrated Amp. 

Optional phono module not installed. It does have a UK plug. Happy to supply with an adaptor, or I can put a AU plug on it for you. I've been using it with the adaptor myself.

I can add more photos, as you can see, it's currently in service. 

Here's more info borrowed from a previous listing.

Perhaps best known for it's output device technology which Arcam claimed 'practically eliminated thermal modulation of audio signals to ensure a truly dynamic and transparent reproduction'. The A38 offered a preamp design that used studio grade components which at the time of release exceeded many reviewer expectations and arguably raised the bar for specialist integrated amplifiers.
