    Question Arcam A25 + streamer vs Arcam SA35

    I see, well that's that sorted then. The amp will be in between my speakers below my turntable, as the traditional stereo setup you see everywhere. A lot of equipment make the bass drum this washy bass in the background, more akin to an electronic back beat. (The floor Tom is more of a...

    Question Arcam A25 + streamer vs Arcam SA35

    This is why I want to treat my room, standing waves can kill bass in your setup easily and make it fall flat. Good subwoofer placement can fix a lot, but I don't like to have reflection city in my listening room.

    Question Arcam A25 + streamer vs Arcam SA35

    During my break I just watched a youtube review of the M5si of Andrew Robinson. I don't know him or how credible he is.

    Question Arcam A25 + streamer vs Arcam SA35

    Just more to research and I'd rather know about them now, than after my purchase! Not at all really, I just want to play some flac files of the albums I don't have on vinyl yet, or of some (modern) electronic music I don't feel like belong on vinyl. I do like that it shows the album art and...

    Question Arcam A25 + streamer vs Arcam SA35

    Hello everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle choosing between the A25 vs the SA35. I'm also considering options from cambridge but like the look of the Arcam line better, which is silly, I know. Current setup: Rega P3 Exact Denon x1700H -> getting replaced Arendal 1723 THX Monitor SVS PB2000 I...
