Cambridge Audio, our newest electronics line, is highly recommended by ABSOLUTE SOUND & STEREOPHILE for excellent sound, innovative designs & superior value. "Killed DACs selling for 2 & 3 times the money." STEREOPHILE  11/11. Cambridge began in England over 25 years ago.  

The newest Cambridge integrated amp is the 651A with a USB input & a built-in DAC, allowing a direct connection to a computer or iPod. Power is 75W/ch, 8 ohm & 100W/ch, 4 ohm. Its many useful features include a remote control, preamp outputs, a subwoofer output & an oversize torroidal transformer with windings & regulators for dual mono operation of the left & right channels. Customers have brought in competing amps with less power, no USB & fewer input & output connections that sell for about twice as much as the Cambridge 651A. The list price of the 651A is $879; it's on sale for $799.
