Getestet, gereinigt und die 2,5A Sicherungen gegen 2,8A ersetzt (war öffters ein Problem bei den Alpha5/6, Arcam hat dann bei der zweiten Serie direkt 3,15A verbaut)

Grammophone-UK meinte 1994 folgendes (eine Zusammenfassung findet sich bei Hifi-Wiki: If Arcam can be said to have an image in the cosmetic sense, then that image is one of deliberate avoidance of image. They have made a style out of functionality, with controls, legends and layout as anonymous as possible, with the result, of course, that you can spot an Arcam a mile off. This refusal to put anything on their products which has no practical value makes the concept of a 'no-frills' Arcani a curious one, but nonetheless that, in a sense, is what the Alpha 5 is. The family resemblance to Arcam's Delta range goes without saying, and it looks for all the world like a Delta 290 stripped down to its basics. The Alpha 5 is a straightforward no-nonsense amplifier in the best Arcam tradition, providing in its simplest configuration a classic straight-wire-with-gain topology. It has four identical line-level inputs, labelled for convenience Aux, CD, Tuner and Video, and unlike its big brother comes with a Phono preamplifier (albeit a more basic one than that offered as an option on the Delta 290) built in as standard.
