Arcam at it`s finest produced the Delta 90.2 series of components using the very best parts available to create their top-end units. The Delta 90.2 amp is not only a retro / vintage piece of UK produced quality but also a real audiophile item that produces music in a style that leaves the current `digital` amps squirming. It`s not valve, and it`s not digital - it lies somewhere between in it`s ability to render fine detail without sounding as if its `designed for listeners` High quality MM + MC phono boards are installed, and it`s powerful enough to run 2x pairs of speakers simultaneously. New isn`t always better - and this amp is a true testament to how things done properly can sound absolutely brilliant! A really fabulous integrated amp that brings music to life.
Arcam Delta 90.2 integrated amplifier is manufactured by A&R Cambridge in the U.K. It has a multi voltage unit that can be internally wired for 120 or 220 volt. Vintage Arcam gear is somewhat rare, but very well regarded with audiophile grade high quality construction throughout. The case is manufactured of extruded and stamped aluminium material, the PCB is high quality extra thick material with short signal paths and a minimum of components in the audio path and finished up with 4 metal T03 output transistors. Power is supplied by a large and quiet to radial transformer.
The build of the amp is very much straight wire with gain architecture. The amp also features moving coil and moving magnet phono sections, direct input switch that bypasses the tone control electronics, mono mode, unique split volume control for right/left balance and a cool understated elegance. This Arcam has a wonderful detailed soundstage that can be very dynamic or dead silent depending on the program material. Rated at 85 wpc into 8 ohms and 130 wpc into 4 ohms, The 90.2 had no trouble pushing most floorstanders in the market.
REVIEWS
-British Arcam DELTA 90.2 amplifier, Arcam P290’s predecessor delta90, delta90.2. This is Arcam’s top of the range in the 90s. Arcam delta90 has been the praise of hi-fi enthusiasts, and later even so with the launched of higher level amplifier, ie Arcam Delta 90.2. Power remained at 2X 70W per channel, which is relatively large for a British machine. It sounded even better with sweet, warm and smooth powerful all round sound. Two pairs of gold sealed power transistors MJ15004 MJ15003 Motorola are underlying drivers to support MM / MC connections.
-As saying goes, Arcam Delta 90.2 would give the mid-price range amplifiers a run for their money. Arcam’s old machine has very comprehensive sound performance across the sonic range with its distinctive sweet sound. On top of that it portrays good soundstage with its airy attribute and superb resolving power. Even normal tube amps have to bow in front of her! The amp has three versions underlying transistors. It is a top notch classic product that worth every penny for keeps.
-Sounds warm and delicately smooth, personally feels sonically it betters the Alpha 9.
