    @rooftop59 , thanks for the heads-up! They had a CXN v2 in the now discontinued silver finish for a very nice price, so I snagged that.

    That Phono is really tempting for $199, I'm happy with what I'm getting from my Peachtree, but I'm sure a dedicated phono would only make it better.

    I bought a refurbished 851n off of their eBay store a few months back. Looked decent but functionally was a mess. If any of you got one, hope you have better luck than me

    Mine’s been perfect! Use it with roon and Spotify connect, no issues whatsoever.

    I will say that two pieces are I ordered from there were defective. But the defects shows immediately and the return policy is stellar, so I buy with confidence (I have kept three pieces that I purchased from them).

    Well, this didn't go as planned. Cambridge cancelled my order. Apparently there was an inventory error & they don't have the silver CXN. However, they offered me a generous discount on any new item bought from their website. So, I have a brand spankin' new 851N on the way. :)

    Impressed with how Cambridge Audio handled this. They could have just said sorry, we goofed. Instead they stepped up & made me a happy customer.👍👍

    Yep they have excellent customer service! I wish they never sent any defective items, but they always fix it!
