The Arcam A29 is an integrated amplifier featuring Class G amplification technology, which utilizes multiple power rails to improve efficiency and performance compared to traditional Class AB designs. It outputs 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 175 watts into 4 ohms, making it capable of driving a wide range of speakers with substantial power reserves. The A29 is housed in a robust chassis with an aesthetic that includes a distinctive olive drab finish, aligning with its 'Full Metal Jacket' theme. The amplifier dimensions are 433 x 275 x 85 mm (w/d/h), and it weighs 9.2 kg. The front panel is designed for ease of use with a large volume knob, multiple selector switches, and a dimmable display. The A29 offers a variety of inputs, including six line-level inputs and a moving magnet (MM) phono stage, along with outputs for preamp connections and speaker binding posts. Notably, it consumes a low 0.5W in standby mode, making it energy-efficient. The sound quality is characterized by smooth tonal qualities, a vast soundstage, and excellent detail retrieval, especially in the midrange and treble. The amplifier also provides an aux input for portable devices and a headphone output. While it lacks onboard digital inputs and DAC capabilities, the A29 is tailored for those who prioritize sound quality and traditional analog sources over digital frills.
