Cambridge Audio – Edge A Integrated Amplifier Preview

Not to suggest that Cambridge Audio coined the phrase, but today Cambridge uses the moniker in their core philosophy. The British sound in the mid to late 1960s referenced not only the popularity of British artists like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones but innovative recording engineering and ultimately to the gear that reproduced it.

More than 50 years ago, Cambridge audio introduced their first integrated amplifier with the P40, soon followed by the updated P50. Recently Cambridge Audio celebrated its 50th anniversary with the development of their Edge Series components. It was a project that pushed their engineers to ask what was possible, with no development budget holding them back

The Edge A Integrated came my way quite innocently, yet I was in London and visited their headquarters while this series was in development a couple of years back. I was and am impressed with the design, it felt so clean and refreshing. However, the styling of the Edge A is merely the façade of a seriously, musical-sounding component with features too many to mention in a preview. Stay tuned.
