I started a topic a while ago about my arcam a85 that broke down.
Having tried several amps since then, but it just didn´t feel right.
First i bought a second-hand Unison research Unico i, this is a rare model without valves.
Very natural sounding, great prat, but the highs destroyed me, couldn´t listen to some albums.
Then tried a Marantz pm 7003
Not for me, too thin.
Finally managed too get my hands on a second-hand Arcam A38
Well happy now, i think i´m so used to the arcam sound that everything else just sounds wrong, boring but true.
This is clearly better than my a85, but not by a great margin. Got a nice price too, about 650 GBP.
Next project is too find a dac for the sonos, no hurry though.
Take care // J
