Arcam FMJ A38

The amplifier does not include a built-in phono stage as standard, but it is designed to accept an optional internal phono card. This card supports both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, allowing you to connect your turntable without needing an external preamp.

The A38 features a preamplifier bypass mode, which allows you to integrate it into a multi-channel home theater system. This lets you use the A38 to power your main front speakers while your AV processor handles the surround sound decoding.

With a power output of 100 watts per channel and support for speaker impedances between 4 and 16 Ohms, the A38 is compatible with a wide range of bookshelf and floor-standing speakers. Its robust toroidal power supply ensures it can drive most standard speaker loads with ease and stability.
