Value-packed Integrated Amp from Arcam
If you’re in the market for an affordable integrated amp with all the essentials, Sweetwater recommends you consider the Arcam SA10. With 50 watts of Class AB power per channel, this stereo amp can drive any moderately efficient speakers to satisfying volumes in small-to-medium-sized rooms. And while it may not fill a cavernous room with high-decibel sound, the SA10 particularly shines in revealing the subtle nuances in music and movie soundtracks. With three digital inputs and five stereo analog inputs, including phono, the SA10 can handle all of your wired source components. Your digital inputs will be treated to state-of-the-art digital-to-analog conversion courtesy of a high-performance Sabre DAC. The SA10 also has an Ethernet port for connecting to your home network. Build quality is typical for Arcam — which is to say, excellent. Simple yet effective, the Arcam SA20 delivers everything you need at a wallet-friendly price.
