540A/640A Integrated amplifier

Cambridge Audio has built up an extensive knowledge base due to
meticulous listening and tweaking. This attention to detail results in
amplifiers that are totally convincing in the reproduction of both tonal
colour and dynamic contrast, deliver a vibrant and fluid performance
with music of all types and are extremely musically involving.
To get the absolute best from this equipment we would encourage you
to use only high quality source components. Of course we particularly
recommend tuners and digital equipment from the Cambridge Audio
range, all of which have been designed to the same exacting standards
as our amplifiers. Many types of loudspeakers were used in the
development of these amplifiers to ensure maximum compatibility with
a wide variety of designs.
Interconnects and speaker cables are also something that shouldn't be
overlooked. Please do not compromise your system's performance by
using poor quality cables to connect source components to your
amplifier or the amplifiers output to your loudspeakers. A system is only
as good as its weakest link. For this reason we do not include cheap
"freebie" cables with any of our products. Your dealer can supply good
quality Cambridge Audio interconnects and Mordaunt Short/Gale
loudspeaker cables that will make a noticeable improvement to the
sound quality of your system.
