Cambridge 640, 740 and 840

I think the cambridge audio gear is a good value for the money. The 640 c is a great place to start unless you find a great deal on a 740 or 840 (don't know what you want to spend). If you go that way and look for one used make sure that you are looking at the 640 version 2 (though I had the original and it was a pretty good player as well). If you buy new, audio advisor has the best prices I have seen including free shipping above a price that should cover those three models.

Spearit Sound has the same prices as AA and free shipping as well.

buy the 564D at a cheaper price - uses the same wolfson dac, potent bass but slightly lean overall tonally compared to the best. Very good value for money as it has a lot of the qualities found in the very best.

I had the 640C. If you like your sonics lean, that's what I experienced.

Thanks everyone for the input.
