Press Reviews
-
"Extra tech and improved performance at a reasonable price is always a tough ask... Full-bodied presentation on a grand scale, marvellously rich, especially the midrange, feature list belying its price tag" (What Hi-Fi Magazine June 2018)
- "We make a good start when we begin testing and are greeted with a familiar sense of scale and fullness of body. It isn’t just a solid presentation, it’s delightfully warm. The midrange is richer than a Saudi oil merchant, giving vocals the kind of dimension many competitors lack in their search for outright clarity." (What Hi-Fi Magazine June 2018)
- "There is still plenty of insight in this soundstage, with textures being presented with admirable detail to make what, in that sense at least, is an interesting listen." (What Hi-Fi Magazine June 2018)
- "While balance isn’t especially skewed – the treble in particular nearly matches the midrange for richness – the one area the SA10 does create quite a few rounded edges is in the bass. Specifically, it’s the low end via the analogue inputs, where bass frequencies thrum and labour to a noticeable degree." (What Hi-Fi Magazine June 2018)
- "The Arcam is a solid performer with facets of its performance you’ll struggle to match elsewhere at the price... it's a praise-worthy amp in its own right, one we’re sure will have many admirers" (What Hi-Fi Magazine June 2018)
