AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

High end MOSFET amp from Arcam.
Excellent sound quality

Arcam Alpha 10 Amplifier
The Arcam Alpha 10 is a future-proof amplifier thanks to its modular design. So says Arcam. The basis is an excellent stereo amplifier that could be equipped with an extra speaker output, a surround decoder, or a phono input stage. Fortunately, no surround craziness has been installed in the amplifier, and the previous owner did have the fantastic phono MM/MC module installed. For anyone looking for an amplifier with high-end pretensions from England, with a generous 100 Watt per channel power stage, and distinctive design, this is an excellent choice. Musically, this amplifier pairs excellently with demanding speakers thanks to the oversized power supply and power amplifier.

Universally praised, you will not find a bad review on this hi-fi integrated amplifier and this is the one with OEM Phono stage installed. Just read what Stereophile has measured for this amplifier. It is a stellar integrated that produces true 100W per channel. AudioReview guys are recognizing it with almost perfect rating.
Arcam's MM/MC Phono stage is universally considered one of the best and is installed in this amplifier. That stage alone now sells for $250.
Amplifier is in perfect condition, everything works.

* Highly-acclaimed Arcam Alpha 10 integrated amplifier with Arcam Phono delivers a full 100 watts per channel (RMS into 8 Ohms) and is fully remote-controlled
* In addition to a full suite of audio line level inputs MM/MC phono stage, the Alpha 10 also features a remote control bus on the rear panel.
* Attention to detail in construction includes vibration-dampening feet, custom
aluminium chassis aluminium covers. Extra bracing gives vital rigidity and supports the awesome toroidal power transformer which packs a mighty 800VA.
* With through-hole plated fibreglass PCBs, gold-plated connectors and audiophile specification components throughout, the Alpha 10 integrated amplifier is a top-quality powerful stereo amplifier.

Power output: 100 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) 2x 150 W @ 4 Ohms RMS
Total harmonic distortion: 0.02%
Input sensitivity: 0.26mV (MC), 2.6mV (MM), 160mV (line)
Signal to noise ratio: 73dB (MC), 79dB (MM), 100dB (line)
Output: 0.8V (Pre out)
Dimensions: 430 x 380 x 110mm
Weight: 9.9kg
Accessories: mains lead, CR35 remote control (not included)
Year: 1998

The phono stage is default set on MM internally, see picture.
If you want, I can set it on MC. Let me know.
