Arcam A-80 2 Channel Power Amplifier

Arcam "A-80" INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER with 65 watts Class A/B power.

S/N# B115-05959.

This is a great integrated amplifier and known as a very musical piece.

It has ability to run 4-Ohm speakers with ease (and 105 Watts per channel doing that) It has plenty of inputs, dual speaker outputs, preamp outputs so you can add power later, and a preamp section so good that you could upgrade to bigger and better amps a few times and still use the preamp inside this without it being a weak link.

You can still use the built-in amp to run speakers in another room.

It’s basically the same preamp design as the expensive separate pre amps Arcam has made.

It even has a nice headphone amp inside. That’s becoming rare!

This sample is in Arcam’s beautiful Silver finish, and comes complete with their system remote that contains internal codes to operate other Arcam components.

This integrated amplifier features quality Arcam construction, and it was made in the UK.

All switching is done near the input jacks to keep the signal path very short. Switching is done inside sealed relays that are good for a minimum of 500,000 operations without cleaning or service. Arcam products are built to last.

Speaker switching (the A80 can run two pairs of speakers) is accomplished NOT by mechanical switches on the front panel, but by quality, sealed relays on the main board, controlled by buttons on the front panel. This keeps internal speaker wiring to a minimum for lower losses.

Many aspects of the amplifier are interesting, and hidden from casual observation.

On the rear panel are preamp outputs. These could be used to boost the power later by adding a bigger amp. You could still, then, use the internal amp for running two other rooms of music.

This is an especially worthwhile feature since the preamp section is hard to beat.

It is also the perfect place to connect a powered subwoofer.

Since the speaker switching is high quality, you can also feel free to use the two sets of speaker outputs for bi-wiring, if you feel that makes a difference.

The A80 puts out 65 Watts per channel into 8-Ohm speakers and 105 Watts per channel with 4-Ohm speakers.

You can, in the amplifier’s setup menu, vary the size of the steps that the volume changes at when you turn the volume knob, with three choices. I like that feature!

This is especially good if you have very sensitive speakers, which this amp works well with, due to its low noise floor.  You can set the relative volumes of the inputs so the volume stays more constant when you go from source to source.
