...simple question to start, which of these amps is better? I have medium room (5m x 5m) and listen at non-rave levels mostly.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Both good amps but I wouldnt say tthe Arcam is a better amp......just a different presentaion which generally is personal!

Yes I know, just giving my opinion. Yes you are correct they are different, WHF picked the Arcam A19 as group winner in this month WHF mag, which did not inc. the Rega. The Rega was best amp last year under £500, the Roksan was best amp. under £1000 in 2011. The only way is to hear them, preferrably at home with your speakers.

No worries!
I think the reason the Rega wasnt included as It was amps up to £800 wasnt it? Just goes to show you really need to hear amps & speakers yourself and see what you orefer!
In an ideal world get a demo at home!
And I wouldnt take WHF reviews as gospel!
Only your ears matter!
