Arcam or Rega Integrated Amp.

Depending on how my budget goes, I am having a hard time deciding between the following choices: Arcam A65 integrated or a Rega Brio. Or between an Arcam A75 or a Rega Mira integrated amp. For speakers, I am using B&W DM 601 bookshelfs on stands. My turntable is a new Rega P2, with an upgraded glass platter and a super bias cartridge.

I don't know what your budget is, but there are some outstanding deals to be had on used Arcam integrateds here on audiogon. I would definitely jump at some of those that are being offered.

If you are into solid state and you have a few more bucks, then a used Plinius integrated will have you smiling.

I own the Arcam A65 plus and the best way to describe it is punchy, with a lot of bass. I like it but it is on the warm side only not as warm as the Rega. A solid pick up.

I have the Arcam "Diva A85" and have been VERY pleased. I find the A85 to be fast, clean and with plenty of base even with small monitor speakers. See the Arcam web site for all the great reviews.

One caveat-the older style remote REALLY sucks! Terrible design and lay out-no back light. The newer remote is some what better. At least it isn't a foot long!

Good listening!
