Actually you can just use one remote to control both the streamer and amp - by connecting the secondary supplied cable between them. You seemed to have missed this.
i just bought the SA-20 and after watch this review i am convinced that’s is a better value than the A25 : same class G , better display , better remote control and better design in my opinion and on sale at $995 !
Had the SA20 sounded great but had to send 2 back, both had audible transformer vibration hum. The early review models had high quality nichicon capacitor where as later models had low quality Chinese jamicon capacitors. Not what I expect for the price I paid. Replaced with a Rega elex R and sounds great with 0 issues.
@@DeeTeaDee that is the current trend in the hifi space. Signal purity vs degradation. Don’t get me wrong, I’m with you and prefer having tone controls over not having them. :)
11:26 “Day to day listening” I’m not looking to buy a wireless radio mate. It’s NOT for day to day listening. Polar OPPOSITE. It is for enjoying movies and good music . ENJOYING it. So…
Buddy I love your videos so much and I don't know why you don't have more views! You are a gem!

I always enjoy your videos , if you saying it sounds like the Cambridge cx81 is that mean don’t use it with warm speakers!?
I mean. Really if you think so. I would just hook up ny favourite speaker to it

Any chance you’ll review the A15? There are no reviews of it out there. Only the A25.
That’s a good point. Ditto with the A5. I’ll make a request!
A15 v cx81 mk2

Sales are always great!
I am interested in the new ST45 to be reviewed - available from September / October 2024 ☺
Me too!
Hi, If it were you,
would choose the arcam a25 or the technics su-gx70?
Oh boy. I think I’d go Technics for flexibility and if I was using it with bookshelf speakers.
@@0102studio wow thanks for that insightful advice! Keep up the great work and more subscribers to come!
@@istoydy2002 thank you!
Nice colors design you can match with Klipsch McLaren speakers 😂

No excuse for having non-matching displays. They should ALL have the OLED display if that's a better display. Cost cutting by Arcam!
That’s a curious one for sure.
@@0102studio which display do you prefer?
@@Chris-hy6jy y’know, i never really thought about it tbh. I guess oled?
@@0102studio ok, so if the OLED is the better display, Arcam should have used that on the whole range.
Back in the DiVA day's Arcam had a single remote for everything in the line. It is silly.
I really wanted the A18 back in the day. If I ever stumble across one in the wild, its coming home with me.
So how would one adjust sound tone controls? Do you mean to say there are ZERO ways to adjust the equaliser???
Seriously!??
There are none.
@@0102studio so for £1500 you get an amplifier that you cannot adjust from song to song to song??? That is INSANE

It’s not ‘day to day’ for you specifically.
