Arcam FMJ P38 Power Amplifier

Arcam FMJ P38 Power Amplifier

The Arcam FMJ P38 power amplifier is the same as the A38 without the pre-amp section and the phono input, also it should cost less than the $1,500 asked for the A38.

The P38 circuitry features ultra stable thermal management, Sanken output devices, massive torroid based power supply and new volume control (Burr Brown PGA2320 chip) to improve audio quality and linearity. The ultra-wide band design of the P38 offers an extended frequency response that is perfectly suited to the demanding requirements of high resolution audio formats such as SACD, DVD-Audio and surround codecs like Dolby Digital+ and DTS-HD. The arcam P38 output stage boasts an amazing 140W per channel @ 4ohm or 100W/8ohm with a 0.5% THD via 5x RCA inputs or 2x recording loops inputs.
