Cambridge Audio Product Reliability


I have owned a Cambridge Audio AZUR 840C CDP for about 5 years, out of those five, it's been in for warranty repair twice and the last repair was out of warranty at a cost to me of about $300. In each instance, the repairs consisted of failed circuit components, and the last, a toested transport. Bottom line, though a great player I think they must have used cheap parts. I am considering their AZUR flagship IA, but am concerned about quality and reliability, can anyone speak to this, and by that I mean their own experience with Cambridge Amps - Thanks!

Had a Cambridge SS receiver and a tuner. Both developed problems. Have their phono preamp with no issues thus far. Their DAC magic was high on my list, did not want to chance it.

A lot of other brands to choose from, for myself CA won't be one of them.
