New Amplifier

Yesterday I got my new Cambridge Audio A500 amplifier plugged in, wired up, and pumping. I even bought it some chunky speaker cable as a "welcome to your new home" present... It seems a lot happier than my old NADs, which had too much power for the size of my room (they volume has never gone above 1/3) and lead to some of the detail being lost. Oh, and they were broken too. Anyone who still wants my old NADs (1000 pre-amp, 2100 power-amp), mail me, for £30 they are yours.

I'm going to miss saying "look at the size of my NADs".

Yeah Cambrige Amps rock, except their remote controls are a bit shit, and the volume control gets dust in it quite easily (which makes it crackle). Sound quality-wise though, they are top-notch. The NAD 320Bee would give the A500 a run for it's money though:) <a href="http://www.richersounds.co.uk/index.php?f=itemdetl.php&p=101461">http://www.richersounds.co.uk/index.php?f=itemdetl.php&p=101461</a>

With only a CA amp the remote only control the volume, and nothing else. Don't think I'll be using that...

I would have got a new NAD if I could find one cheap enough, but the A500 was only 100 quid on eBay, and has the advantage that it now fits in the cabinet under my TV!
