## Description

Hear what Crutchfield customers think about the Cambridge Audio Azur 851A (Black) Stereo integrated amplifier.

Review: Excellent amplifier, especially for the price - This amp has a big but smooth sound. In fact, it was described in the Stereophile review as "sounding like a modest man's Pass Lab amp." I would agree with that. I am doubtful that there is an amp out there with this much power that sounds as good as this one for the same relatively modest price. The two XLR inputs have really been nice to have, too.
Review: Defective out of the box - The amplifier worked fine except it would not recognize the remote. The remote was not the problem as I had another identical remote from the matching CD player. The amp would not operate with either. It worked fine manually but, for this kind of money, this was unacceptable. Back it went. Still waiting for my refund 1 1/2 weeks later.

## Features

- Proprietary Class XD technology
- Two oversize audiophile-grade toroidal transformers — one for the sensitive preamp section and one for the power stages
- Two main types of connectivity: RCA/Phono inputs, and two pairs of fully balanced XLR connections
- CAP5 protection technology for trouble-free operation and to prevent clipping and DC overcurrents
- Acoustically damped full-metal chassis with a thick, brushed-aluminum front panel

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent amplifier, especially for the price
*by P***S on March 22, 2019*

This amp has a big but smooth sound. In fact, it was described in the Stereophile review as "sounding like a modest man's Pass Lab amp." I would agree with that. I am doubtful that there is an amp out there with this much power that sounds as good as this one for the same relatively modest price. The two XLR inputs have really been nice to have, too.

### ⭐⭐ Defective out of the box
*by W***Y on March 25, 2021*

The amplifier worked fine except it would not recognize the remote. The remote was not the problem as I had another identical remote from the matching CD player. The amp would not operate with either. It worked fine manually but, for this kind of money, this was unacceptable. Back it went. Still waiting for my refund 1 1/2 weeks later.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible clarity and nuance
*by A***R on April 16, 2021*

This is worth the money- just the exquisite depth of the sound, the clarity and being able to hear every instrument and note- it's like you're in the studio with the musician (or onstage for live stuff).
