Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews
after living with the player for almost 6 months - it is an amazing player - i have always said - that with this player that extensive break-in is necessary to experience it's full capabilities.I would have never realized it's potential just from ... 
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 ...
