Just Amazing!

What the reviews say are all true of this Amplifier. It just lets the music breathe and wash over you with all the emotion and energy intact and full of detail. The sound on the USB input with Hi Res files and streaming hifi quality is amazing. Worth every penny. Recommends this product Yes

Never enjoyed music so much!

Had my Edge A for a month or so. Never thought I would be dipping my toe in this pool but my CXA80 was so impressive for the money that I just wondered what they could do with the reigns off. An incredible amount is the answer. You just get everything, perfectly weighted at every frequency. Beautiful clarity that’s never harsh or fatiguing. Edge A gives you so much music. Reviewers have expressed it so much better, all I can say is, I now listen to music at every opportunity and feel like a child in a sweet shop with my collection. It’s with some trepidation that one buys a piece of equipment offering neither balance or eq adjustment. Coming from the sub $1k world i just assumed they’d be there. When you listen to the Edge A you almost laugh at how irrelevant those concerns are. Reviewers often caveat that such revealing electronics make poor recordings unpleasant to listen to. Whilst there’s some truth in that, I find the Edge A brings as much life to these recordings as it is possible to do so. You still find treasure! Goodness, I have 128 mp3s (I know) from back in the day that sound pretty marvelous too. If it don’t sound good on the Edge it ain’t gonna sound good on anything! I’ve heard nothing in the last month that isn’t better in every way than I’ve ever heard it before and that makes for a big big smile. Many reviewers have commented on the great value offered with this piece, that it punches above its weight and genuinely gives food for thought for those with a significantly bigger budget. I have no reason to doubt that. This really could be my end game, the quality of the build is such that it should give many years service. With the Edge A I’m running Elac Adante AS61’s and dual SVS SB1000 subs. I could not be happier with my purchase. Thank You Cambridge Recommends this product Yes

Outstanding! I Love this amp.

I picked the Edge over several competitors based on multiple auditions at my local A/V dealer along with several glowing reviews. The fit and finish are excellent and the product is very sleek and modern looking. It weighs over 50 pounds which tells me that there is plenty of substance under the hood. Most importantly, The Edge A just sounds right. Not too bright, not too warm, just a balanced, silky presentation that is nothing short of addictive. It drives large, full-range speakers with authority and is totally composed at both low and high volumes. In my room with my tower speakers, the Edge A effortlessly produces a deep, 3D soundstage. The only thing that I wish the amp had is some type of display to clearly show what input and volume level you are using. I know this would alter the minimalist look, but it would aid in usability. Of course, you can get more drive, more bass and and even bigger soundstage in higher-end separates, just be prepared to spend three to four times more money. The Edge A is that good.
