I liked the ARCAM's tonal integrity , bloom and utter harmonic naturalness, too, but felt it had serious PRaT problems compared to the Rotel and ALL other contenders. Just seemed to dance with two left feet....
Certainly a rich sound with lots 'o finesse, though.
Pbb, I know what you mean. Took me a while to understand
"running a HT PC/SPM XLR CDP/Pre for a nice tight sound" !...sounds that way, huh?
Can't help you with S/W off-hand, 'cept in my other world it's steering wheel, of course.

Re the ARCAM's PRaT, I will back off a bit and state that my results were with the thinner chassis'd ARCAM 9, and WITHOUT an iso shelf. Sticking a Neuance or Rollerblocks under the FM23 may really get it to boogie? Good luck.
