A49 Arcam

I understand Arcam will be releasing the model later this month; other than some brief mentions, I have not seen any reviews on the amplifier.

I'm interested not only in the A49, but Arcam is also releasing the C49 preamp and the P49 power amp; will be interesting to see how it is received.

I would imagine Arcam will fill the gap with new products.
The A49 will list for around $5,000; it's designed in the UK, and built in the US, in Rochester, NY.
I would expect to see an A29 and A39 eventually...just guessing.

Arcam was my introduction into better audio; my Alpha 9 integrated and power amps are now in the closet; my CD sources remain the Alpha 9 CD player and the Alpha MCD multi-disc player. I have the most regard for Arcam; can't wait to see reviews of the new top-of-the-line.

Paul,
I'm not in any way implying that Arcam would be in the same league as Accuphase; I was only trying to tell the OP that we should be getting more information about the A49 (and C49, P49) soon.

I keep checking the Arcam website, and there's no information yet.

I will leave it to others to chime in on the Accuphase/Arcam comparison, since I have no experience with Accuphase, other than being familiar with its high-end reputation.

Thanks,
Jeff
