A quick heads up to one of the best £1000 amplifiers I've heard. Now great value at just over £800 discounted.
Good power (ignore Hifi Choices review), fantastic built in DAC, backlit remote etc.
If you can afford the few £'s over the Audiolab, get the Arcam. If not the Audiolab gets 90% there imho which is no mean feat considering it was almost half price of the Arcam at launch.
The missing 10% is related to detail and the better DAC.
The SA20 is now 2.5x cheaper than the SA30. You loose 29 or so watts and DIRAC but save around £1300.
