RE: Cambridge 840C - Why all the flips?

I purchased an 840C as a hold point while we were relocating to another city and attempting to find a home. We were in fact leasing for the first 8 months, so the idea of getting heavy into a search seemed excessive in light of everything else going on.

I found the 840C to be a pleasure, a REAL bargain by today's standards. The 840C was very capable at extracting the full content of the bass information from any CD I played through it, the mids were excellent, and the top end was very clean - no zip!!!!

A few months ago we moved into our new home and I went looking for a new front end, that ended with the purchase of a McIntosh MCD500, a player which I believe to be the best one box player under $20K - and I did listen to the others.

By the way, while I had the 840C I purchased my new speakers as well, those are the Monitor Audio PL300's. They are very musical, but can be ruthlessly revealing (ribbon tweeter), if the 840C had a real top end zip I would have heard it, and quite possibly needed to medicate my ears.

The only problem with the 840C is jealousy, too may people have spent too much money for their treasure.....so they trash others and the rep sticks!
