I've just purchased one of the remaining stock of the Diva A85 amps, and will pick it up from the retailer when I'm back in the UK in a month's time. I know it's not wise to buy unauditioned, but the price was good, and anything would probably sound better than my 12 year old Denon mini components. In any case I listen mostly to Classical and I'm pretty sure the Arcam won't let me down. I'll have to keep my Mission stand mounts until the summer when I'd like to get something along the lines of the MA Silver 8, but I need a cdp to partner the amp now. I've been thinking of the likes of the Arcam 73 or 83, Marantz 7300, Nad 542 or perhaps an Exposure 2010 or Cyrus 6, and I'd appreciate your advice on these. I wonder if the now discontinued Arcam 83 is substantially better than the 73. Or is the A85 good enough to justify going for something better than the models I've mentioned above? An A93 for example.
