Arcam Delta 90 integrated amp, serviced

[tankertop]

Absolutely lovely sounding amp, fully serviced from top to bottom, using audiophile grade components throughout.

Every electrolytic (bar the few in the MC part of the MM/MC phono stage) has been replaced with genuine Elna Silmic II capacitors (UK-sourced). Main caps replaced with Nichicon Fine Gold. Output stage resistors upgraded to Welwyn. Relays cleaned, fully working. Internal fuses replaced, bias reset for both channels. Deoxit treatment for all the pots/switches.

There are no absolutes in life, but is unlikely there is a better sounding Arcam Delta 90 on the planet. It's immense fun to listen to and never fails to get my feet tapping. Usual reason for sale, too many projects.

Physically, the amp is in excellent condition bar a couple of small scratches on the top left that have been filled in with pen marker (see pix). You could probably flip the end panel but doesn't bother me.

As usual, I would like the buyer to collect (I live just outside of Bedford) so it can be fully demonstrated... you won't be disappointed.

I have the original packaging so can post, if there's no alternative. £185 to forum members...

Great amp.

Great amp.

Sure is. Absurdly good performance for this kind of money... the phono stage is worth that on its own. Factor in the service and the SQ level it now delivers as a result, and it's a billy bargain!

Sunday bump. Listening to this now as I type, it’s delightful!

Reduced to £175. A service would probably cost that!

Sold.
