I bought the amp new and have been using it in a smoke free home for 18 months. It is in exceptional condition and works flawlessly. There is a great write-up of this amp in the March 2007 edition of Hifi+. You will be hard pressed to find a more musical and flexible amp at this price. If you are not familiar with the Arcam A70, it is 50 watts per channel, is much more powerful than its predecessor A65 and delivers a wonderful balance of tone and detail. The A70s large power supply uses a toroid transformer which ensures an extremely quiet backdrop to music and superb stability during large bass transients. Arcam has also utilized their proprietary "Mask of Silence" technologies with the A70, for reducing stray electromagnetic interference in combination with critical vibration dampening, which ensures the best performance is realized from the units audiophile grade components. The A-70 features electronic user controls to eliminate the interference caused by the mechanical alternatives, vibration damping and electromagnetic isolating construction material and gold plated input and output connectors, as well as an excellent mm phono stage, 2 pairs of independently selectable speaker outputs and a stereo line out for multi-room room output.
