    Review Cambridge audio edge a With a new DAC

    Since it’s been three months since my last entry, I decided to post again. I’m happy to say that I still think my system is perfect and needs no upgrading of any kind. My hi-fi madness is over.

    Soundstage greatly improved on WiiM system by turning off EQ

    I love my stereo system, which includes a Cambridge audio edge A amplifier, a WiiM ultra streamer, a Qutest DAC, a REL Classic 98 sub, two Revel M126Be speakers, and very good cables, but was noticing that the sound stage wasn’t what I thought it should be. After reading the Wiim manual, which...

    Qutest with the MCRU power supply

    By the way, switching the Qutest from one volt to 2 Volt output on another day also made a giant difference.

    Qutest with the MCRU power supply

    I just installed the MCRU power supply on my system for the Qutest DAC. I had read a lot of different opinions about whether it made much difference or not. I’m sure it’s partially system specific. But on my system: Cambridge Audio Edge A amp, WiiM Ultra streamer, Rel sub, and Revel M126Be...

    Need help choosing my next integrated amplifier

    When I purchased the amp, it had already been broken in for 30 hours, so I thought that it was completely broken in. Much to my surprise, in fact, it’s getting better and better. To the point where it’s becoming completely breathtaking.

    Need help choosing my next integrated amplifier

    As I listen more to the new amp, I’m struck by its excellence. It’s definitely several steps up from the original one in soundstage and articulation of each instrument, and exceptionally alive.

    Need help choosing my next integrated amplifier

    I just installed the Edge A amp. It’s very interesting to compare it with my previous CXA81amp. On a few cuts there really wasn’t that much difference, but on most songs, what stands out greatly is the much increased spatial information. you really feel like you’re sitting in front of the...

    Need help choosing my next integrated amplifier

    I will let you know when I get the Edge. Reasons that I got it: I love the sound of Cambridge Audio amps, because my CXA81 performs incredibly. I got a great deal The reviews are great Hegel amps are quite expensive and don’t stream Amazon And it has all of the connections that I need

    Which micro subwoofer

    Thank you all. Being a complete novice, I don’t know anything about the placement of subwoofers. And where I can put, it is very limited. Is placement really crucial?
