    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...

    Can you set up an Aptx HD bluetooth receiver on Cambridge Audio DAC Magic Plus?

    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.

    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...
