My very first integrated amplifier and first foray into audio was the Arcam Alpha 5 integrated amplifier in 1994. i liked it so much that eventually I upgraded to a used Arcam FMJ A22 integrated amplifier in 2004. Arcam makes great stuff. And I like their sound. Even though I have now moved on, I still have extremely fond memories of their products. I think you’ll enjoy your A25 for many years to come.
Yeah, I'm quite impressed. This is actually my second Arcam in just a couple of months. I bought the A15 to feed Kef LS50 Meta in a new study/desk rig, and liked it so much I grabbed the A25 for the living room.
The class G in the higher-level A25 is really very, very good... It's more compact, cooler running, AND more powerful than it's stablemate. Not sure how the internal DAC stacks up versus high end gear, but I'm definitely not missing anything that the old gamma2 brought to the table.
