View Full Version : WTD : Arcam Delta 290 integrated amp
Looking for a good working unit with phono-stage and remote.
Preferably without the well-known selector switch problem and for collection within 50 km. of Heathrow.
Pls PM with asking prices if you have anything.

Any specific reason you want this model Mark? At the same kind of money, I personally would be looking for for a Denon PMA-350SE. They don't go wrong and sound superb.

Recommendation really Geoff, plus I liked the comments I found via Google. I'll have a look at the Denon since you mentioned it. Cheers.

There are many here who have owned the PMA-350SE, including myself. There's never a bad word said. For the money little comes even close. Occasionally one crops up with the optional and very good phono stage included.

Thanks for the info Geoff.

IMO; the Denon is good, but the Delta 290 or the Alpha 9, for me, would be a much better move
However, some Delta 290's prices, IMO are daft and I'd pay for an Alpha 10
Just my thruppence'worth

I had a delta 290 for a while, I wanted to bi amp but couldn't find a 290p, so I sold it (about £120 inc phono stage) and bought a 9/9p combo. However I couldn't live with the plastic fronts and they never sounded as good to me, so I sold them on. In theory they should have been better being basically the same but newer.
Dan, Lawrence, Your comments are very much in line with what I've read elsewhere on the net... Alpha 10 is attractive too but pretty rare at the mo.
Still looking for decent Delta 290 with phono-stage.........
Or perhaps an Alpha 10 .......
