Cambridge Audio 2500 Stereo Receiver

Works like a dream with my Cambridge audio receiver bought in 2011. A great receiver, on which I can now play all the music on my iPhone and iPad. An incredible bargain. One-minute installation.

this works great with my wireless lav receiver that combines 2 channels of audio into a stereo output. This cable isolates the two channels so I can record the channels separately into a recorder.

I bought this about a month ago to replace a 34 year old (!) Sony Stereo receiver. The old one had AM-FM receiver capability. This one only has FM Receiver built-in, but it sounds a lot cleaner than the older model. This one has fewer output jacks than my older one, but is more than adequate for my setup (Sony Stereo Cassette Deck - going on 20 years now also !), and a bluetooth Audio-Technica Record Player. This model also contains the regular size headphone jack AND a standard audio output jack on the front for older style cassette players, walkman's, etc. Very unusual feature but useful for me as I still use some of that older gear from time to time. I primarily bought and use this product for its bluetooth capability which works excellently. I have my phone, and computer able to play music to it through bluetooth. I realize bluetooth specs don't carry the full frequency range for a lot of audio musical pieces (such as classical music), but for the everyday average pop music it's just fine. This is a great entry level unit for a person who is not an audio-phile. I also bought this because of Sony durability in its products. This thing is built like a brick. Good design accents, solid metal frame, heavy duty components. I will always buy Sony products - good balance between cost, design, and functionality. Couldn't be happier with this product.

After my stereo receiver died, I needed a way to play my old vinyl music. I got this preamp to connect my turntable to my PA System! So now it's nice and loud, and full sounding. Note: You still will need to ground your turntable to your audio power chassis, or you'll hear hum. Remedy: Wire audio ground wire (not power ground) up to a screw on the back of your audio system.

Worked perfectly to transfer stereo audio from a computer to a stereo receiver. Also required a mini stereo female RCA to L&R male RCA jack adapter. Used for playing on-line music.

The best stereo receiver I’ve ever owned! If you want the best, this is it!

This stereo receiver was one of my better online purchases!

I use it to connect my tape deck to the stereo receiver.

I used the amp to replace a connect and Cambridge Audio amplifier and it has breathed new life into the sound output of the speakers. Depth and complexity are now very much enhanced so much so that I want to listen to my entire catalog again to hear the bits I've been missing!

Hooked up to a pair of Klipsch RP-280F speakers and a Cambridge Audio CXC CD transport (the A-S801 has a built in DAC). Very nice sounding, plenty of power. I've always preferred knobs over buttons for volume, tone controls, and input selection. The only thing I would have liked would have been VU meters, like on the higher end Yamahas. Glad it came in silver, it's a nice looking piece of gear.
