WHAT HIFI AWARD WINNER 2017
'Best Phono Stage (£250+)'
The Arcam rPhono
Arcam develops a series of additional products for use with their quality, award-winning hifi separates and home cinema amps. This series is called the R-Range and features the newly developed irDAC II, the rHead headphone amplifier, rBlink high performance aptX Bluetooth DAC, its little brother, the Mini Blink aptX Bluetooth DAC and the Music BOOST, an iPhone 6/6s accessory designed to bypass the inferior DAC/headphone amplification of your iPhone to guarantee a better sonic performance while on the move.
The Arcam rPhono phono amplifier has support for both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil turntables. There is an adjustable input capacitance for Moving Magnet and an adjustable input impedance 50-550Ω for moving coil. With the use of multiple low-noise power supplies, this helps to keep the audiophile quality you want from vinyl.
Who is Arcam?
Arcam is a well-established UK manufacturer of quality hifi components, based just outside of the world-famous University of Cambridge. The company began in 1976, founded by two music enthusiasts with a passion for electronics. The company was initially named Amplification & Recording Cambridge, before shorting to A&R Cambridge, and eventually to the snappier and more impacting name that we know today; 'ARCAM'.
