Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2


 Cambridge has come out with the Series 2 CXC transport. Based upon a conversation I had with a dealer the only differences between it and the original model are a new faceplate and finish; there's no technology change.  Cost bumps up $150 for the cosmetics. If you have plans on buying the CXC the original version is on sale as I guess stock needs to be moved out.

It’s not a quirk. Mine does it too. I’ve actually come to love it. You always know with 100% certainty what track you’re cuing up. No more “Well, a second or two played, will the back button take me to the start of the track or the previous track? Shoot, that’s not what I wanted.” ...Press more buttons...
@Mcstin Have you tried upgrading the power cord yet? That was a nice little improvement with mine. I actually used a power cable made for a power amplifier which is like 1.5” thick and it sounds great. My typical experience is with front end gear, big and thick power cables aren’t the way to go but in this case it sounds great.
Fair enough. I still recommend that even once you have the Audi you soup it up with power cables. I have yet to meet the piece of gear whose performance isn’t enhanced by a good power cable.
No doubt. When you open up the CXC, it’s got some very respectable internal components.
