... notch for a budget amp, i have had people put cd's of their favourite music, and after one song be thoroughly disapponted and never listen to them again! it does reveal some hidden sounds... but bear in mind im using Kef Cresta 3 speakers, which are superb budget speaker in itself! so in reality, this amp will cater for budding audiophiles and hardcore ravers alike... the negatives are very few actually, it doesnt really have alot of eardrum bleeding volume! but for a single room, who needs more! i would recommend u...more

For a budget amplifier you get oodles of clarity! its punchy, and delivers the most delicate of high frequencies too.... i have paired it up with an old pair of Kef Cresta 3's and have used several diffent speakers and different cables.... the first lot of cable i tried was specially handmade gold in, silver out @ £600 per meter! and the current cable is cheapy £2 bell type wire, and to be honest, it made very little difference in the quality... maybe a tad clearer, but nothing vastly notable).. so as another plus, it will make a very low budget system sound very good! so positives are amazing sound quality, from bassy club music to ...

Cambridge have always been a great make for amplifiers and the A1 and A1 mk3 are no exception. For the price you get a superb build quality, great clarity with jazz, classical and light pop, along with a sleek design. They are built to last as this is the company behind many others, as they build components for use by other manufacturers. You get a lot of amplifier for the cash here and they make a great match for Marantz CD seperates ... Read the complete review
