Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews

What are the sonic DISADVANTAGES of the 840c?
kiwi - i absolutely 100% agree with you about the resolution - your right it can be to die from - if your not so attached to its imaging, soundstage, etc. well put and very precise - especially your other post about the cambridge player elsewhere ...
