Worked neatlyĪs I said, this also applies to the innards of the Cambridge Edge M Monos, the center of which is shaped by two 325 VA toroidal transformers in a piggyback formation. That is not exactly oversized, but perfectly adequate. And, moreover, it is less about quantity than about quality: With this “double toroidal transformer arrangement”, the mirror-image stray fields of the transformers should (for the most part) cancel each other out. Another toroidal transformer with a significantly smaller 42 VA is mounted vertically behind the front panel and is responsible for supplying the input stage. There are four specially made capacitors for Cambridge on each side of the housing with 10,000 μF each, so that each monoblock has a total sieving capacity of 80,000 μF. Eight power transistors in pairs are responsible for the power amplification and can each deliver 200 watts (per pair). Another pair of transistors takes care of the Class XA circuit alone (I’ll get to that later), says Cambridge. delicately textured, smooth surface … Well, yes. Speaking of hot: I don’t want to talk about eroticism now, but … Cambridge has understood that the pride of ownership, which is so important for customer satisfaction, begins with unpacking, and has ensured a corresponding experience with the Edge series. I hardly know of any hi-fi device that on the one hand was literally thrown into the shell so safely and well-thought out and on the other hand staged the entire unveiling process so effectively. In the last step, you remove the leaves from the curved shapes of the monos from a black velvet dress, then find a soft, delicately white translucent silicone tape that lies in the recess of the Edge M surrounding the lid to protect the (or in front of) the cooling ribs. Now the brand new Cambridge Audio Edge M mono power amplifiers (8,998 euros / pair ) are on the tester shelf – and they also look damn sharp. In a positive sense, because I hadn’t expected such a minimalist-elegant design from the beautiful-living-with-hi-fi corner in view of the otherwise conventionally designed Otto normal devices from the British. Review: Cambridge Audio Edge M- A few years ago, when the Edge A DAC integrated amplifier, the first model of the new top line from Cambridge, came onto the market, I was somewhat surprised.
