Strength:
I replaced the standard pot for an old Blue Alps I had lying around and had a good listen, wow this little amp had a very detailed sound if a little thin but sounded great with my Nakamichi cassette deck. I decided to swap out all the cheap nasty ceramic caps and replace them with Wima foil types and silver mica, wow another great improvement. Weakness:
None so far. sheetrock installers near me |

If you're considering buying this item used from someone, I advise reading some of the positive reviews at 47 Labs on this website because those are the ones you'll be hearing if you manage to get your hands on one of them. factoring for business Weakness:

Strength:
Inspired by this I decided to see what I could squeeze out of this thing so I changed all the caps and upgraded them with Panasonic FM, FA and OsCons as well as increasing the large reservoir caps to 10000uf and tweaked some values of critical caps in the signal path until I found the sweet spot. Weakness:
None so far. photo booth |

Ok I picked this amp up for 20 quid, it had a noisy volume pot and was sold for spares or repair. I replaced the standard pot for an old Blue Alps I had lying around and had a good listen, wow this little amp had a very detailed sound if a little thin but sounded great with my Nakamichi cassette deck. I decided to swap out all the cheap nasty ceramic caps and replace them with Wima foil types and silver mica, wow another great improvement.

I would happily listen to this Nakamichi/Cambridge A1/ B&O CX100 forever! It lacks NOTHING Weakness:
A bit thin sounding until upgrading all caps and volume pot. Price Paid: £20
Purchased: Used
Model Year: 1998

Strength:
Price, musicality, relative lack of listener fatigue
Weakness:
Not at this price When my multi-$$$ amplifier blew up and was sent off to be fixed, I had to rummage around my friends and basement for a temporary replacement. Similar Products Used: Linn, Arcam, Rotel |

Strength:
soothes the savage beast
Weakness:
no bowel moving dynamics - modest 35 watts/channel First i should mention that this amplifier uses an integraded chip amplifier that provides it the 35 watts it gives out. If you look inside the unit you will see how many few parts the amp uses (something like 9 components per channel-no s*it). I should also mention that the same i.c power amplifier is being used in the 47 labs gaincard amp(or whatever it's called) that sells for something like $4000. Yep, this is basically the same thing except it sells for about $400! Cudos to cambridge audio! Too bad this product is no longer in production though. Although some of the newer cambridge stuff may still be using this chip, i'm not certain. |
