I don't know the specifics in this case but products going back and forth between UK and US can lead to odd price changes and weird compromises, none of which are necessarily justified by market conditions.

Read the great reviews so bought a pair. They look well made and sound great with a physical connection. Unfortunately, when I paired them to Bluetooth, only the right channel came thru from any of my devices -- various Macs, iPhone and Astell & Kern AK100 all with latest patches, all fully...

Like many readers, I've a high end flat screen, blu ray, iPad, Mac Mini etc. and lots of ways to get at content beyond a CD player. I've a setup festooned with digital to rca converters to my Cambridge stereo amp. I don't really care for the home cinema type of amps/multi speakers that do have...

There are all kinds of high-end exotic DACs out there. I'm wanting to connect a Mac Mini / NAS storage to Cambridge Audio stereo gear, leveraging files of at least CD quality not simply 128 kbs. This is perhaps a naive or noob question but is there enough sonic difference between adding say a...

Thanks, at 3,500 pounds that's a high jump from the likes of the Roksan Candy! Living in an area not served by high-end hifi stores, one hard hurdle to jump is what are absolute differences in quality between say a 300 pounds amp, a 1000 pounds amp or a 3000 pound amp, all with 5 stars...

Does such an amp exist? Reading specifications, there seem to be ever more connections and features on AV amps, with stereo amps seemingly with spec sheets similar to what they were in the 1980s. Does all the simplicity of stereo amps really translate into better sound, or are the platforms...

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I ask the question, since stereo amps seem to be more and more marginalized (at least where I live, outside of UK) and have only old-style RCA connections (no matter what the price but) but the AV amplifiers (even low end ones) have all kinds of higher end HDTV, Optical, Coaxial connections as...

I've the HK 970. What do you guys think of the Cambridge 540.

My current setup's a Marantz 6002 CD, older high watt Harman Kardon stereo amplifier (highly rated in the past) and B&W XT4's. I want to update the amplifer, the obvious choice being the Roksan Kandy K2, but I was wondering if the less expensive Marantz PM6002 to make a pair with the CD would...
