More details can be found in the In Sight boxout overleaf but, briefly, the amplifier has two power rails for its output stage – one for normal, low-level listening and a second that is brought into play when more volume is demanded. Would be nice to have AV forums bench test amplifiers. The result is more power when required, but without the concomitant downside of unwanted heat when things are playing more quietly.
Would be a useful bit of info to include in the review. You know – one of those things we were all assured would be dying out any day now!It has remarkable depth and deftly paints expansive sonic picturesThe SA20, however, is somewhat more unusual, despite being essentially an 80W-per-channel integrated amplifier. In other words, an AV processor or an output from the preamplifier stages of an AV receiver can be connected to this input. Product review: Arcam CDS50 SACD Player with Music Streamer. The presence of an optical input allows you to use the amplifier as part of an external audio system for your TV. There is nothing about its performance that will ‘frighten the horses’ and yet it never sounds especially drab or soporific. I will note a very delicate attitude of the amplifier to the smallest strokes of the sound canvas, quite dense, plastic timbres, as well as the ability to create a wide stage. Vocalists, in particular, stand firmly centre stage, locked into pin-sharp focus and with just the right amount of fine detail that makes intakes of breath easy to pick out, but not distracting. I noticed this with the SA10 as well. Furthermore, the sense of scale of the location is surprisingly easy to discern.The delightful midrange is aided in its endeavours by a sweet and open treble performance. The ARCAM SA20 utilizes a Class G amplifier design rated at 90 watts x 2 channel (into 8Ω, @ 20-20kHz, with 0.5% THD). The Arcam SA20 Integrated Amplifier convinces all along the line. Doesn't make me feel the need to upgrade from my Alpha 10 (with DAVE board) - 100W, and 4 digital inputs. Any sign of htbypass mode on this?
Comparatively bereft of features it may be, sonically it is the one to beat.Styling is neat, and the main display is both large and clearClass G technology has been around for a number of years now, but first came to prominence back in the seventies in the shape of Hitachi’s Dynaharmony range of amplifiers.
OK, it has the requisite network player and streaming facilities, but the fact remains it’s also a high-quality CD and SACD player.
Today Arcam's HDA series includes only three components - two amplifiers with indexes SA10 and SA20, as well as a universal source CDS50, combining the SACD/CD player and the network player in one case. The presentation is characterized by amazing transparency, a clear attack and precise separation of instrumental parts at careful preserving of melody and rhythm. Would be a useful bit of info to include in the review. For the latest information on COVID-19, go to the Arcam has thrown its hat firmly back into the two- channel ring with the arrival of its new HDA Series. Great review, however the SA20 seems a little half-hearted with normal features missing and a sound quality that is up and down, (Depending what you are listening to) it feels more like it was added to show Arcam was still going after being acquired by Harmon, rather than bringing anything new to the table, (A bit disappointing really) plus the left handed look has always seemed weird to me. To the left from it there is a large volume control and two mini jacks - a headphone output and an analog AUX input for connecting mobile gadgets. Arcam amplifiers of the past have always excelled at build quality and tonal control but have sometimes been a little too smooth and relaxed in how they present their sound. A feature- packed and sonically competent performer AS: What advantages do you feel that the Class G power amplifier topology offers?NC: Class G offers two clear advantages. Why would the cannibalise sales of the SR250?
