The details the Cambridge Audio Azur 640C prefers to increase are also rather masking others that it likes less. However I must be fair at that point. All of these qualities are actually only found in players costing at least many times more than that one. Generally it essentially did great, indeed holding its own in these difficult circumstances, sounding very convincing nearly all of the time and rather good some of the time. I was ready to listen to Cambridge Audio Azur 640C for hours without a bit fatigue or funny feeling and it all my test tracks without showing major problems. I'm sure Cambridge Audio Azur 640C will perform utterly brilliantly in a setup with other elements of the same price category, or noticeably above it.

The explanation why I went into so much detail explaining Cambridge Audio Azur 640C's capacities is to allow you to get a clear image of its innovative concept, and also because I would like to take this player seriously. This Cambridge Audio Azur 640C player is setting new standards in its price range and can be judged without taking its budget price into account. In the final analysis of Cambridge Audio Azur 640C my major issues are with the slight roughness that's due to that fast, deep and greatly focused treble and the much slower bass and with a little of treble coarseness and grain. So, look for sensitivity of 90dB or higher and avoid anything with a 4-ohm impedance

The major innovations of Cambridge Audio Azur 640C are its vivacity, its fast and lively mids and treble and its capacity to reproduce complicated and dense recordings without falling apart. It finds delicate details quite effectively, bringing colour to treble instead of pure shine and delivering music with a perky sense of time. Ambient dance grooves exhibit its inspiring bass kick and capacity to trace energy increase rather effectively, the sound pulling you in and engaging your attention. I also gave the amp a spin on a tougher pair of speakers, the wonderful ADC SCM36s simply to see how far its 65 watts could go.

I need to prologue this review of Cambridge Audio Azur 640C by asserting I have the Cambridge Audio Azur 640C v.2. Getting down to the nuts and bolts this is a great CD player. It won't create the wonders of making bad CDs sound {gfantastic however. Good CDs will sound better than ever which is an acceptable goal.
at the moment I would say the classical music in my collection seemed to bring the most enhancement in display with Cambridge Audio Azur 640C. Crap low budget jazz stuff still suffers. Well-liked music like Lyle Lovett sounds incredibly good.

The Cambridge Audio Azur 640C V.2 is a very good player for the cost. Detail is being forced on you a bit, instead of just being there for you to explore.
