September 17, 200718 yr Hopefully this belongs in the speaker forum. Finally arrived after a long ordeal with Fedex: It looks great with the rest of the family: Ah, all that black and blue looks snazzy! Silver dynahi sticks out like a sore thumb. No listening impressions, because of course I have no speaker wire. :'( Still, it is a substantial unit, quite heavy. It definitely turns on, which is a plus. The volume control makes a fun clicking noise. So in other words its already worth the asking price, sound be damned.
September 17, 200718 yr Congrats on your new toy! I was going to mention about the silver Dynahi, but you did that yourself.
September 18, 200718 yr Author That looks way nicer than I would have expected. Enough inputs? The funny thing is once I get it all together I'll only be using one input, XLR's running from the loop out on the beta22.

September 20, 200718 yr Too...many...blue...LEDs Seriously though, nice looking setup... you should get a new dynahi faceplate and knob though.
September 20, 200718 yr Author Too...many...blue...LEDs Seriously though, nice looking setup... you should get a new dynahi faceplate and knob though. Nah, the Dynahi will be gone here shortly, and I'm thinking my next amp will be black. as for my other problem:
September 20, 200718 yr Author how is the headphone output? hm, i don't no. haven't hooked up any sources to it yet.
September 20, 200718 yr Author dew eet. I just did, it sounds ok. \ little thin with the MS2i, but I've been on a bit of a bass kick lately. I'll give it a more critical listen some other time.

This thing probably weighs what, 20x the tomahawk. By Raw's law of burn-in that means that at 4000hrs it will really start to open up and at 8000hrs it'll be the bestest evar!!!1!!
November 17, 200718 yr I wonder what there new seperates (pre and amp) will be like. just saw an add in one of the new mags.
November 19, 200718 yr Author I wonder what there new seperates (pre and amp) will be like. just saw an add in one of the new mags. separates, really? interesting. cambridge being a budget company i wouldn't think they would go for that.
November 19, 200718 yr Maybe they want to go get some mid-fi action considering the numerous accolades the new Azur range is receiving.
November 19, 200718 yr separates, really? interesting. cambridge being a budget company i wouldn't think they would go for that. Yep. Both the preamp and power amp were on their catalogue for this year, but they weren't released until recently. The retail for preamp and power amp is $1599 and $2399, respectively.
November 19, 200718 yr Author Maybe they want to go get some mid-fi action considering the numerous accolades the new Azur range is receiving. Sounds good to me. I love my 840A and 840C. Simple, inexpensive, great sounding products.
November 19, 200718 yr separates, really? interesting. cambridge being a budget company i wouldn't think they would go for that. There is a little info in the "Industry News" section of the new TAS Says the preamp, the 840e will run $1599.00 and the (200 wpc) amplifier 840W $2399.00.
November 19, 200718 yr Interesting. I hope they redesign the damned interface. Their current ones look pretty tacky IMO. EDIT: Was just looking through the catalogue. Seems like they decided to keep the interface Oh well... Four bridged 840W in bi-amp configuration takes the price firmly into the deep end of the mid-fi segment.
November 19, 200718 yr 840E press release: Sophisticated resistor ladder and relay based attenuator for volume/balance control Does that mean stepped attenuator? (couldn't edit my last post)
