Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews


Yes, I just received this player and can honestly say this is the first time the review was spot on. This is easily the best bargain in digital audio bar none. This player is in my mind and my musical tastes as good as it gets for under $5k or maybe more with the exception of the Resolution Audio Opus 21. It is that good.

I agree 100% with the review in absolute sound....the highs are to die for, the imaging and spatial presentation is that of a mega dollar player. The only drawbacks I can find is a slight lack in definition of low bass....but I only have 15 hours on the unit!! I fully expect that to clean up over time. This thing is the real deal.........

Congrats! Like you I was amazed & extremely pleased with the sound quality at this price point.
Arbuckle, you mentioned in another thread that you got a great deal on one. New? Where?

I also think it's a pretty amazing bang-for-the-buck CDP. I know someone looking for one and noticed recently that the MLP went up to $1599.
I got it here, bought it new for $1250 but don't think those deals will be around much.
Arbuckle,
It would nice to see what your system is. I was at Tweeter yesterday looking at the demo model and thought it looked like it was well built. I wish I had time to listen to it.
