Threshold s/500 vs Cambridge Azur 851 CD


The Threshold looks bigger and more robust but the Cambridge has XLR’s. Won’t use the Cambridge for a receiver, only DAC - amp - speakers. 
Any ideas?

Threshold never seems to make it to anyone’s top 20 list?

If you want Threshold quality and balanced inputs, checkout CODA amps. Both are several steps above the Cambridge.

I can send some. Are you letting me know that as you have upgraded from amp to amp the Threshold is just older now and not as exciting as u have traded up to newer models?

I am saying there has been tremendous advancement in technology over the last forty years and buying really old stuff is not a great way to build  a great sounding system. While buying used can be a great way to reduce cost… usually not older than 10 years… but, it depends.

That Pass is $15,000 though!  I don’t have anywhere near that in the budget I have allocated. Why doesn’t anyone talk about the PS Audio stuff? Anyway those are so pricey too because there aren’t many second hand ones for $1500

I will still give you your answer for my budget and what I have now. I just have something to take care of this evening. Thank u for helping me
