It was back in the mid-1970s when Doug Brady introduced the very first amplifier from Arcam – then known as A&R Cambridge – the A60. This iconic model featured prominently in many of our magazine advertisements at the time. The Arcam A5 continued that legacy with great success, earning a reputation for performance and reliability. Naturally, expectations are high for its successor, the Arcam A5+, which is set to carry the torch forward.
