Review: Cambridge Audio 640a Integrated Amplifier
I recently tried a few of the Cambridge CD units, and was impressed with the cost/value. I sold the 640a, and regret ever having done so. It really was a relaxing preamp to listen to. A little Paul Simon "Graceland," and who needs a beer? :) 
Auricle Audio Design encore kapton vs. anti-ICs
Thanks, guys! :)I just love listening to music and improving the sound of my own system. That I am able to pass this along to others at a decent price, well, that's just part of a good business.Sure, I could probably mark-up the cables to $750+ a ... 
What's your best audio "find"
Has to be the SM-70 Pro amplifier by Monarchy Audio. IMO, Monarchy probably builds the finest amp you can find for your dollar. With the SM-70 Pro bridged/used in balanced, mono mode, you'd swear you were listening to a pair of $5000 monoblocks if...

The Hub: Advanced Transduction - another new speaker brand?
Science fiction my butt. These are probably the BEST speakers I've ever heard! Certainly better than anything under $100k.As I stated on the "S'phile" blog, these embarrassed EVERY speaker I heard at Axpona, and not by a small margin.Being in the ... 
The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test
You'll never win a contest or bet against Richard. Period. Of course amps sound different. But put RC at the controls, and let the abra~cadabra begin.I lived right by Autosound2000, and dealt with him several times. He is in a class by himelf. Muc...

Wow! Thanks for the glowing reviews, guys!Your repeat business and your kind words *really* let me know that we're on the right track with our product line.It's nothing magical. I just design my cables around a simple low-mass theory, and I avoid ...

Cambridge Audio Azure vs. NAD c320bee, c740
I do agree: 9 of 10 times, you do get what you pay for...Not so much is "wrong" with the SA250. (I had a friend do some updates/fixes, and it has improved over the original, too.)For the price, it just is not on-par with my Monarchy or Plinius equ... 
Why do digital cables sound different?
Over spring break, I had a chance to listen to my Rotel/coax vs. my Panasonic/optical. The first impression was one of much more oppeness, and a deeper sound around instruments with the optical output. *HOWEVER*, cymbal crashes, esses, fingered st... 
Cambridge Audio Azure vs. NAD c320bee, c740
The 640c is still an improvement over the previous model. It just received another 5-star rating from "What Hi-Fi" in the UK.I have heard this unit, and it compares favorably (favorably, not 100%) to the Musical Fidelity, or the new Rotel that TAS... 
Review: Cambridge Audio 640a Integrated Amplifier
I could never knock NAD, but...I have never been so impressed buy an NAD product as I was this Cambridge! It will always have a home, even if I use it for the DVD system! It is wonderful. NAD, Creek, and Cayin also make great bang-for-the-buck stu...
