fmj a38
integrated amplifier
Arcam has a world class reputation for building amplifiers going back more than 30 years.
The a38 is the most advanced integrated amplifier Arcam have ever produced.
Engineered to deliver breathtaking levels of detail and a truly musical performance,
the a38 is a significant step forward in amplifier design.
The a38 design project had a simple
goal; to develop the best stereo
amplifier 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 a38 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 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.

The a38 offers a high level of connectivity with inputs for seven sources,
two sets of independently switched loudspeakers and remote control ports.
A very high quality optional mm/mc phono input is also available.
The a38’s massive toroid based
power supply delivers effortless
control of loudspeakers with
a new low noise xq core.
The new pre-amplifier design
features hermetically sealed reed
relays from Arcam’s range topping
c31 pre-amplifier which deliver
a wonderfully transparent signal
to each power amplifier.
Reed relays offer extremely low
contact resistance and a life span
measured in decades.
An all new volume control gives
unprecedented linearity and noise
performance allowing fine musical
details to be reproduced in startling
clarity. Circuitry is constructed on
multi-layer pcbs allowing ideal
component placement for best sonic
delivery. The a38 produces a level of
sound quality that will enthral all who
listen from the keenest music lover to
the most demanding audiophile.
