Functions Flawlessly, but selling as-is, since it IS +/-20 years old. Can demo.

This is the Arcam DiVA A85 Integrated Amplifier (from the early 2000s, part of Arcam’s well-regarded DiVA series).

It’s a British-made hi-fi component from A&R Cambridge Ltd., known for solid build quality, flexibility, and excellent sound for its era.

Key Features

Power output: 85 watts per channel into 8 ohms (more into 4 ohms) — plenty for most speakers.

Inputs: Multiple line-level inputs (CD, Tuner, AV, DVD, etc.), Tape loops, Phono (MM/MC with optional module), plus Pre-out / Power-in for upgrades or bi-amping.

Outputs: Two sets of speaker terminals (SP1/SP2), headphone jack.

Controls: Large volume knob, fluorescent display (shows volume, input, etc.), microprocessor-controlled with adjustable input sensitivity, tone controls, and a programmable remote (visible in your photos).

Design: Clean black finish, substantial toroidal transformer, good connectivity on the back including binding posts.

It was praised in reviews for being refined, neutral, with good timing, midrange clarity, and strong dynamics — a very capable all-rounder that punches above its weight.

Current Market Value

In good working condition (like yours appears to be), these typically sell for $350–$500 USD on the used market (eBay, Reverb, HiFi forums, etc.), depending on cosmetics, whether it includes the remote/manual, and any service history. They remain popular among enthusiasts.
