Damping material on chips is common enough, but we haven't seen this one before presumably it provides some degree of magnetic screening, while the resilient glue that's been used will also contribute to mechanical damping. We were intrigued to find a little piece of what looks like ferrite glued on to the volume control chip.
#Arcam a65 plus integrated amplifier review series#
This is the kind of thing where electronic control adds undoubted benefits - three mechanical controls (input trim, volume, balance) in series is no-one's recipe for reliable high-quality sound! These are built in at no extra cost in terms of sound quality, since the volume control is an electronic attenuator and, thanks to the microprocessor that controls everything, balance and trim are achieved simply by adjusting the settings. It doesn't have the tone controls of the old A32, but it does preserve balance control and input level trims. You can leave a response.Conceptually, the preamp section is little more than a selector and volume control, though it does have some gain and offers a few extra features.

Remote Control: Fully functional CR389 Remote Control Outputs:Twin selectable speaker terminals & pre-amp out Inputs: Six Line level plus MM Phono via standard RCA phono sockets Power Output: 50 Watts per channel (into 8 ohms) The Arcam DiVA A70 Integrated Amplifier is available now from all good Arcam stockists.Īrcam DiVA A70 Integrated Amplifier Specifications A studio grade pot is also used to control volume and the Arcam DiVA A70 Integrated Amplifier has six line level inputs and a high quality moving magnet phono stage as well. Particular attention has been paid to the power supply where a large heavy duty toroidal transformer is used to ensure the Arcam DiVA A70 Integrated Amplifier never runs out of steam when driven hard. Boasting 50 watts per channel and plenty of features such as a fully functional remote control, the Arcam DiVA A70 Integrated Amplifier gives sound quality ultimate priority by utilising very short signal paths from the pre-amp section to the power amp. Pictured above is the Arcam DiVA A70 Integrated Amplifier which retailing for £500 is Arcam's second model up of four in their integrated amplifier range. Well hopefully that is all set to change with the launch of the DiVa range of hi-fi components. I have now doubt the pressure on Arcam to divulge into new markets such as the home cinema and lifestyle sector may have be an influencing factor. Recently though their latest offerings have been a little disappointing, not that there was anything really wrong them, its's just they did not seem to live up to the reputation of some of Arcam's older products. Back in the eighties and nineties, Arcam used to rule the roost in hi-fi circles and enjoyed a string of success with products such as the the companies first CD player, the Arcam Delta 70 CD player and then the Arcam Black Box which was launched in 1989.
