    Marking the pinnacle of amplifier technology at Cambridge Audio and, indeed, the amplifier market as a whole, the 840E/840W is one of the most impressive amplifiers available.

    The 840E is a high-end pre-amplifier which uses Cambridge Audio's new proprietary Terrapin modules for unprecedented audio fidelity and forms the perfect partner for the accompanying 840W power amplifier. Rather than use off-the-shelf op-amps, Cambridge Audio have designed their own audiophile amplifier modules. The difference in clarity that these 10-pin "Terrapins" bring has to be heard to be believed; transparency is now at a level that would be thought excellent on a pre-amp costing twice the amount.

    Of course, Cambridge Audio haven't left the 840E at that. Their latest pre-amp is packed with technology that would delight an audiophile. A sophisticated resistor ladder and relay based attenuator for volume (1dB steps) and balance controls allows remarkably accurate volume control with channel balance. Each channel has its own relays and ladder for superb stereo separation and imaging. Being part of the Azur family, it also features a vibration resistant case with 7mm solid aluminium front panel.

    When it comes to connectivity there are few, if any, that can compete with the Azur 840E. Conventional phono inputs are offered for no less than 7 components. In addition to this there are 2 tape loops, and 2 XLR balanced inputs (both one up on the 840A integrated amp) and a hugely flexible multi-room link. When used in conjunction with the Cambridge Incognito system, the 840E can form the basis of a multi-room system that can supply sound and vision up to an incredible 32 rooms!

    Rounding up this highly impressive amplifier is the legendary Azur remote control.This stunning aluminium faced design is able to control track skip, play and pause on Apple iPods, when using the Apple Universal Dock.

    For the ultimate pre amplifier in its class check out the Cambridge Audio 840E.

    "Cambridge Audio has upped its game with a high-end, two-box amp.

    The new 840E/W represent a new era for Cambridge Audio in terms of price and performance.

    The 840E and 840W amplifiers see Cambridge Audio topping off its successful Azur range of products with a high-powered and highly flexible pre/power combination.

    There's no doubt that there's some very clever electronics lurking within the 840W.

    The power amplifier, though, doesn't have any monopoly on advanced technology. The 840E preamplifier boasts its own share of sophisticated circuitry."
