cambridge audio

Hey all. I purchased a Cambridge Audio CXA-61 a year ago to use in a bedroom. It has been a good performer for streaming. For background, I frequently tinker on vintage hifi stuff, Pioneer SX, '60s Sansui, Sony STR, etc. Having recently brought some old gear back to life, I had my multimeter...

I plan to replace my current amp (Denon pma 600ne) with one of the two amps in the title because I no longer need all the functions that the Denon provides, e.g. DAC, BT, preamp etc, and I am looking for a pure power amp. I only need the amp to drive a bookshelf speaker, namely, Elac dbr 62 and...

My Cambridge Audio A300, which I bought in 2001, recently started having an issue where the sound would cut from either or both speakers while moving the volume knob. I could land on spots where the volume was fine for both channels, but there are most spots where one or both channels is...

I'd like to have a setup that's great for either turntable (Pro-ject Debut Carbon) or iPhone playback through either Hifiman Arya headphones or speakers&sub. However, I fear that going the integrated amp route will cause output quality to my Aryas to suffer. Any recommendations on how to...

Anyone have a preference between these two?? Having a hard time choosing. Speakers would be Elac DBR62 Thank you!

Sound sample here. The rattle is at the 0:35 and 1:39 mark. https://soundcloud.com/user-767698396/voice-001-m4a?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Anyone have any idea what causes this? It happens sporadically, sometimes every 10 seconds, sometimes every 30...

Hello AK, I have a Marantz 2230 that I'm using as a preamp for my system and all the line level inputs are currently being used. I would like to integrate streaming into the mix. I'm looking at getting a sonos port since I already have sonos speakers throughout my home in addition to my hifi...

Gunna pickup some elac debut 6.2 speakers to give a try. If YOU had the receivers below to choose from which would work best and why :) any suggestions? Nad 7140 Cambridge audio azur 540r

Cambridge Audio components that can connect to bluetooth can do so by having you purchase their separate BT100 bluetooth device that plugs into the back of the component. The BT100 only supports Aptx.... not 'Aptx HD'. My question is, are there any other brand Aptx HD bluetooth receivers that...

Got a cambridge audio receiver model azur540r For free and unexpectedly got a nad 7140 for free as well. One can stay ...one is going...which would you part with and why.

I am just setting up my system. Ordered a U-turn Orbit Plus turntable. I bought a Pioneer SX-424 off ebay that hasn't arrived yet, so hopefully turns out okay. I got the built-in preamp for the turntable just in case. I am between powered and passive speakers. I would ideally like to get...

I'm new to this forum and am posting for the first time. I have a couple of questions that I was hoping the experienced folks here may be able to help me with. I bought myself a pair of Polk Rtia7 A7 speakers that were on sale for my stereo setup to replace much older Polk R50s which were...

Hi Folks I have just acquired, when clearing a relatives home, some Cambridge audio equipment which looks to have been pretty serious kit. I haven't even had the chance to set it up and test it yet but would really appreciate any info/opinions. I'm not even sure if my current speakers would be...

hello I really want to get the ortofon bronze but I have a question will it work for my setup? This is what I have: Pro-Ject esprit sb turntable the one with the built in speed box and acrylic Platter. Pro-ject tube box s phone stage. Cambridge cxa60 amp Wharfedale denton speakers 50th...

No info on these transmission line speakers here. Anyone has any experience with them? Looking to buy a pair.

New guy here from Austin, TX. I'm fairly new to the wonderful world of turntables and vinyl collecting. Although, through the years, I've purchased and still own a lot of records, I'm just now - at age 44 - getting serious about collecting records and what also what I play them on. I started...

Hi all, I'm helping my mom research a receiver for my dad's stereo. My dad has an early 80s setup with a Technics turntable with MM cart, and Boston Acoustic speakers, smallish, I think they are the A60s. What's happening is that there is a hum when using the TT, and I have purchased a new...

Hi, this is my first post of many, I am sure. I have a Marantz 2252B receiver with Cambridge Acoustics Aeromax 6 and a Technics SL-1200 MD3 with an Ortofon 2M Blue cart. I am looking for a new TT to be my "prime" listening table and plan to keep the Technics for my basement setup. So far I am...

Hi guys! I share with you photos of my system. I have Harman Kardon separates, HK 725 preamp, HK 715 tuner, HK 770 power amp, Cambridge audio DVD99 universal CD & SACD player, Technics SL 1800 MK2 turntable with an Ortofon 2M Black installed and a pair of Kef q-900 loudspeakers. What would you...

Hello all, I recently dug up this old Cambridge Audio P70X. However, there seems to be no information available on this amplifier. I hope to inquire about its place in the P-series lineup and everything from general brochures to service manuals is very much appreciated! I have in the past...

Dear all, I have just bought on ebay this well know amplifier. It's a Cambridge Audio A1 V 3. It was quite a bargain but there's an issue (I was informed). As you can see in the attached a picture, one of the banana plug connector in the rear panel (where a speaker is connected) is broken and it...

Cambridge P-140X I've had this amplifier laying around for 25 years. Of what I can remember, it started to buzz/hum real loud. Fuses ok. By then I thought it could be the rectifier that was gone or faulty. Or PSU caps (so close to the hot transistors) Today I opened it up for the first...

I purchased a Cambridge Audio 651A with a pair of Dali Zensor 3 a few months back. Sound from the right speaker appears to be veiled and the sound stage appears to be on the left side. Also I feel sound comes from the right speaker a bit later than I anticipate (when I expect the same sound from...

Total newbie here so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I recently got my hands on a Technics SL-1200 MK2 turntable. Since I have absolutely no analog audio gear whatsoever, I'm currently shopping phono pre-amps and/or receivers. I'm planning on doing most of my listening through...

Hi Currently using most entry level preamp Behringer ultra compact (35CAD) through Yamaha entry level AVR Rx475 (SP BS 22 speakers)... yeah I know a very low end set up for most audiophiles. But still I am determined to get most out of this set up by spending less (like upgrading to 651p, adding...
