Cambridge Audio 840A V2

It seems like only yesterday that we first encountered the 840A, but in fact it was 18 issues ago, and that's evidently been time enough for the designers at Cambridge Audio to develop a few tweaks and circuit improvements for it, resulting in the new...

A highly tempting combination of power, control, subtlety and, yes, musicality, The V2 also offers excellent flexibility of use and practicality

We continue to find the rattling of relays in the volume control annoying, but apart from that, there's nothing to complain about at this price

Honestly, the biggest difference between this and most amps costing twice as much is in the looks/show-off factor. It's more than competent sonically, and comes attractively specified too - we love it

Consumer review (avreview.co.uk)

Very flexible. Excellent sound

In sound terms, this is basically a poor man's Sugden A21. I intend that entirely as a compliment because although it doesn't quite sound as good and certainly won't have the same residuals, it is significantly cheaper. The class XD operation is...

Excellent sound ; Very flexible but simple to use ; Good value

Runs warm. Not as bad as class A but I probably wouldn't stack on top of it ; I'd probably like to have a weightier and more responsive volume control
