Arcam
British amplification that gets out of the way and lets the music do the talking.
Why we stock Arcam
Arcam has been building amplifiers in Cambridge since the mid-seventies, and there’s a reason it’s still one of the first names people ask for when they visit us: it just sounds right. Clean, warm and effortless, with none of the harshness that makes you want to turn a system off after twenty minutes. From integrated amplifiers and streamers through to AV receivers for home cinema, Arcam kit is built to be listened to for hours.
If you’re putting together a system that needs to handle everything from vinyl to film nights, Arcam is a very safe pair of hands — and it pairs beautifully with speakers from Monitor Audio and JBL, both of which sit alongside it in our showroom.

A word from Duncan
I’ve spent a lot of my working life around Arcam equipment, in hi-fi systems and home cinemas alike, and it has never once felt like a gamble to recommend. My advice? Don’t take my word for it. Bring a handful of your favourite albums to the showroom, settle in with a cuppa, and hear what an Arcam amplifier does with music you know inside out. That’s when it clicks.
— Duncan Lewis, Hi-Fi Specialist & Founder
