Haven't heard the Arcam but you might look into the Roksan Kandy MKIII. Although I rarely listen to vinyl, the phono section on this amp is very good to my ear. A tad less expensive than the Arcam and built just as well.
Arcam A-80 thoughts
I am currently using a Harman Kardon HK3380 as my amp. It's phono stage is horrendous, among other issues.
I have listened to the Arcam A65+ and found it to be a pleasant amp, but it's phono stage is still a bit noisy.
Does anybody have any experience with the A80? The associated gear is Acoustic Energy Evo 1 speakers and a Rega P3 turntable with Clearaudio Aurum Alpha wood cartridge.
Cables will probably be Kimber.
