Sigh.. I'm an Arcam owner... for too many years.
Yup! drank the Kool Aid etc.
Have/had a twin Amp setup, Yes a fair expenditure
Recently fitted my diy 3886 based amp (a time waster project intended as a toy) into my 'real ' system as a Lark.
Darned thing made my Beloved Arcam sound like a Kids' toy..Seriously! Deeper / sharper Bass, Massively more 3d Soundstage and crystal clear extedned highs. Epiphany time. This on Tannoy GRF's
I feel like I've been participating in the Emperor's Clothes Saga.
In short: My view of Arcam is currently about Toilet Bowl level of respect.
Myopia / complacency and believing what others claim..
has Serious costs my friend.
