Arcam FMJ P38 Power Amplifier - Black

Arcam has been producing specialist audio products of remarkable quality for over three decades and the new A38 and P38 amplifiers are the latest in a long line of award winning HiFi. The design of the FMJ range draws upon all of Arcam’s experience as one of the UK’s most respected audio companies, to produce Arcam’s best preforming Stereo amplifiers yet; designed and built to give you years of listening enjoyment.
The P38 is the most advanced power amplifier Arcam have ever produced. Engineered to deliver breathtaking levels of detail and a truly musical performance, it represents a significant step forward in amplifier design.
The A38 and P38 design project had a simple goal; to develop the best stereo amplifiers Arcam had ever produced. The team looked deep into the basic structure of amplifier design and the result is an amplifier offering a remarkable improvement in fidelity.
The P38 features technologies which practically eliminate thermal modulation and ensure a level of performance that will captivate serious music lovers. New Sanken output devices and improved thermal coupling provide an extremely stable device temperature resulting in startling levels of realism.
The P38's massive toroid based power supply delivers effortless control of loudspeakers with a new low noise XQ core. When used in a pre/power combination with the C31 pre-amplifier the P38, produces a level of sound quality that will enthral all who listen from the keenest music lover to the most demanding audiophile.
The p38 power amplifier uses identical circuit design to the a38 and represents the perfect match in a bi-amplified system.
Alternatively, the p38 is an ideal companion to the FMJ c31 pre-amp in a pre/power combination.
