Arcam A80 question!

[admin_exported]

Hi guys I'm selling my Arcam A80 at the moment and have been asked the following question. I think the answer is no but can anybody help as i can't find any more info on the Arcam Website? "The A80 has a preamp out but what about in? im using an arcam a85 which has a switch on the back to make it as a power amp,it runs my front speakers for my surround,and i need basically the same setup again" Many thanks

Unlke the older alpha 8, the A80 can not be use as a power amp.....(I am not 100% sure though but fairly sure)

Cheers Thaiman. I too think it can only be used as a pre. I will probably have to check when i get home.

On page 5 of the manual (http://www.arcam.co.uk/archive/handbooks/a80.pdf) it says, If you wish to use your A80 as a power amplifier, please consult your Arcam dealer. Guess that it can be done but needs something changing.
